Growing is Changing
May 28, 2011
Wet sleeves
from wiping wet eyes.
When I was small, I didn’t need anyone.
I was independent. My own woman at five-years-old.
Here, ten years and eleven months later,
Things have changed.
Independence has faded and loneliness has set in.
The older I grow, the more I realize
How nice it would be to have a father.
And how much I genuinely want my mommy.
So I guess I’ll just have to face this one,
alone.
