Free of Me

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a woman -
Lipstick, high-heels , black nylons for me
When I was a little girl I wanted to be a Vet
Sick puppies and kitty cats I would heal
When I was a little girl
I wanted to be a mother
My baby doll I did care for, love well

When I was a teenager I wanted to be a woman
Bleeding from the womb
When I was a teenager I wanted to be loved
Kissed and hugged , cuddled and cooed
When I was a teenager my mother said I stood funny
Crooked back , a crack in my otherwise non-perfection
Surgery was the only cure

For me I was robbed of my teenage years
A woman is all I wanted to be
A Vet with sick puppies and kitty cats
Off to college I went
I made up for the robbing of my teenage years
Boys, cars, pot and booze
Hoping to bleed with each new moon

Then a  little girl I wanted to be
No worries and my mommy to take care of me
No sick puppy dogs or kitty cats
No lipstick , nylons high heel shoes
No bleeding from my woman's womb

A little girl with no worries carefree
As now all I have are staid memories
No one to chase away the boogies at bay
Being a woman is not all I thought
If I could be a little girl again
I wish I were a little girl again
I want to be free of me
Can I please be a little girl again
I want my mommy to take care of me

Author's Note

I want to be a little girl again
so this is fantasy

awwww; this is so touching; so beautiful - you had a beautiful childhood; i think i'm the only one that doesn't want to go back - not that it was miserable or anything; i just couldn't stand being told what to do; what to wear, when to be quiet or when to go to sleep....i do miss my mommy now taking care of me (without the rules) ; nothing like home cooked meals and having someone really care for you when you're sick, hurt or just love you unconditionally....

I think we always do it backwards. When we are young we can't wait to grow up and once we are grown up we want to be kids again. This is well state and said.
