Left Behind
I am so very sorry,
I just can no longer sit here and worry,
Maybe, it is because I am now in a hurry,
Who said that growing up was to be all this much fun,
Was this not the picture that has been painted for us since we were young,
Maybe, it could be because I am the one who is older,
Therefore, I should be the one to be a little more bolder,
It is proven that girls mature faster than boys,
As we lay around worrying about our futures, they are busy playing with their toys,
Laughing, joking around, and making a whole lot of unnecessary noise,
I may not have chosen the right path of life once upon a time,
Some of you already know from listening to my past rhymes,
This once lost, little girl has now big hopes and big dreams,
It is just that some days, I do not feel that we are on the same team,
For the last couple of years, I have only wanted you to obtain the best,
Do something for yourself and your life and I will assist in taking care of the rest,
Unfortanetly your actions lately have not shown me that you to wish the same,
To me, it seems you are happy just sliding by trying to avoid the glamour and fame,
O those many of nights we struggled to provide a roof over our heads,
I prayed to god and swore on my children listen to what I have said,
I will not go down that road once again, no matter what or who I may have to leave behind,
Sadly, I will turn away and go for it is only a better, happier life I will to find!
