A growing girl

Thinking of the girl I used to be.

Longing for the touch of only he

Completely lost and at unease

Searching for a love with no fees

That girl was so unhappy with her days

Longing for acceptance and loving praise

Unable to see the good of her

Always second guessing and never sure

She still exists but not as strong

She does not see only her wrongs

She sees her good and holds on tight

Praying for a day when she’ll be alright

She doesn’t need the love of he

Her happiness shes learned alone she'll be

No man stands a chance to change her mind

If they want her, a way they will have to find

She is strong and will stay to herself true

She does not need someone to woo

Author's Note

Totally unsure as to what to call this.

Beautifully written. Very expressive words. Personally, I think the most prominent line is "Unable to see the good of her"...We never can see the good in ourselves, we never see the best of ourselves, but have no problem seeing and feeling the worst of ourselves. Sometimes it takes so long to understand who and what we are that we have become something else by the time we realise the change at all. Sometimes we don't change and others around us do. We all have a plan, but mostly they are unclear until we do them.
Great write. Praying for that day too.

Thank you so much for your kind review. You hit the nail on the head. It is hard for most people to see the good in themselves and it is very sad, our worst critics are ourselves.

I liked this simply because I can relate, but I am still in that place right now, I haven't been able to build up enough courage or strength to not need that. So this was a very nice, relatable poem. Thank you for sharing.

I am glad that you liked it. It is a hard thing to do. I am stuggling with it but as time goes on I am able to see more clearly, yes there are still weak days as I am sure there always will be but whats important is that we try. Thank you so much for your kind review.

I really loved the way you have described how that girl became strong by her own and gained a new self-empowered character.....There is always a nice view of hope and positiveness in your poems which is very inspiring to me....You have again maintained simplicity throughout the poem....Thumbs up as always my frnd....Full rating.....

Thank you so much. I feel the best way for someone to accomplish becoming the person they long to be is by changing it themselves. We can not rely on others to make that change for us. We can not look to others for encouraging words, though this is the hardest thing to accept it is the way it is.
