Maturity

When I was 16
I met a guy, 23
It went str8 to my head
Cause I was mature you see
Nothing no one said
Could make me leave him alone
Determined to prove I could deal
And handle my own
Although I was young
I was very head strong
Thought the decisions I made
Could never be wrong
So here I was “Maturity”
Amazin him with mental stability
My parents wasn’t havin it
They said he was just too old
I thought they were just old fashioned
And their hearts were just cold
I had to make a choice
So I decided to act
Since my folks was trippin
I went behind their backs

STOP!
See, this was the first mistake, not listening to wisdom
My folks use to always say, they been down the roads I was trying to cross
They were trying to keep me from making the same mistakes,but I didn’t listen
I am learning a lesson that I will continue to learn for the rest of my life.....smh
PLAY!

Started sneaking off from home
Trying to be with this man
He knew things I didn’t know,
On life he had the upper hand
But you know me
Miss Maturity
thought I knew how to deal
But I didn’t you see
Soon time 2gether got heated
A lot of touchin and kissin
Tryin to be Mature
My child hood I was missin
Trying to be grown
And you know what came next
All that touchin and kissin
Soon led to sex

One day I got sick at school
In my mind I already knew
I was only 16
Carrying a child......was this a dream???
I made my choice
I wanted to keep my child
Went to school everyday
Good grades the whole while
Graduated on time
A bundle of responsibility
Handling things on my own
Now living Maturity
As for the dad
Thought he was every bit of cool
But when reality set in
Found he was a grown Fool
To all my young sisters
Don’t rush life
Take your time
Enjoy being young
So be young and shine

You're gonna make me cry Brother $$RICH$$.
I try to touch as many young people as I can so that they don't make the same mistakes I did. I think all adults have something positive to offer our youth even if it's just sharing the fact that we make mistakes too. I'm so glad someone was touched by this poem which happens to be my favorite.
Thanks again brother $RICH$$

most welcome sista because it help and change a few lives because of it
luv ya sista

I hope they can too! Your piece was awesome!

The old ones say, "A bought lesson is better than a taught one;" but I do so hope that THIS lesson can be learned w/o "buying" it for themselves.
