Growing woman

Sometimes the woman in me
does not realize just how womanly
I am nor the capacity
of who I am.
Who I am and what I can be.
Be Be Be
is all I want to be.

Sometimes I am afraid that I do not realize
my capacity of just how womanly I can be
and how quickly I can cause some ruckus.
I many times have tried to make a man's soul
be the soul that reflected my soul
and then I realized that they don't give a fuck about
me.

Sometimes I am afraid that I do not realize
the extraordinary woman that I have grown to be
and the life that I will lead that will get me
to places higher than I ever expected.
I forget that I can say some real shit sometimes
with the power of my paper and pen
and then I realize I have nothing to repent.

Sometimes I am afraid that I do not realize
that the world does not revolve around me.
I am struggling day by day trying to make
mom and pop be as proud as they can be to have
made such a butterfly that stings like a bee.
A bee with a sense of direction that clearly
knows which flower to prickle and which
comb will produce the most honey that will eventually
trickle.

Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes
I I I
do not realize how much love I've found.
Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes
I I I
am so selfish.
Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes
I I I
want to give my heart and soul to the world.
The world consisting of those who have
pieces of my heart beating in their hands
slowly watching as I grow into a woman.
Slowly growing with me as we grow together
to be the full entity of our generation.
To say some real shit sometimes and sometimes
want to cry but not let it deter us of our road.
