Maturity

Maturity

A Poem by Ashley Brodber

You've been in control of me long enough!

Because of you birthdays have flown straight by me, liming and just being with people swiped from beneath my feet

You robbed me of the sense I would've had 

If you'd not been in my way these things would be mine and life wouldn't be so tough

 

You're to be blamed for my timidity

And the reason of my lack of worldly sensibility

Yes you very well know you're at fault!

If I'd allowed myself these experiences I'd not have to be taught

 

Look at me now, but a frail little bird

Surrounded by packs of wolves at almost every turn

No clue as to how to fend for myself

I'd be better off you're porcelain doll on a shelf

 

But now that I can see through your lies and pessimism

Your cruelty and baneful jabs will be the yeast to my positivism

Your tricks won't work on me any more

You're no longer my advesrary, of that you can be sure

 

So I bid u adieu o fear of mine

I'm letting you go now because it's time to shine

Watch me glisten at the top of my game

You tried to keep me down once but it's you alone down there remain
