"WOMANHOOD"
  by ladydiva46


Every young girl
dreams of becoming
a woman

Some want it quicker
than others

Some want to leave home
cause they think they grown

Or the most common phrase
"I WANNA HAVE A BABY"

Who is gonna take care
of u and your baby?

And of course they say
"You are mama"

You are still a baby
yourself

You need to finish school
and learn a trade

So that u don't have to
work at a job

That u will grow to hate
so u quit.

And that cycle continues
from one job to another

DO THEY REALLY KNOW
WHAT BEING A WOMAN IS?

A real woman is confident, educated
and carries herself
with style and finess

So young ladies don't try and grow up before
your time

Enjoy doing all the fun things
that u do as young girls

(i wrote this because I see too many young girls(13-15) trying to be grown woman and i want to say there is no rush)
