Home is where the heart is, but my heart isn't her
Occupation
Living
Born and raised to be confident
But
I failed to nail the expectations laid for me
Well
at least I thought I did
until I look back and see what Ive came to be
I've had my life changing experiences
Ive done some crying
Not saying more will not continue to deliver some tears
But how I react n how I deal will keep me from dying
Ive took some bad turns
and faced some ugly times
Ive done some things that Im not proud of
But I wont ignore it or try to put it out my mind

cuz Im not the same little girl, locked inside her body
Im not the same child that runs from her mistakes
Im not the same person that was afraid to admit who I was
Im not the friend or daughter that only learned to hate
Now I can proudly say that life has taught me to not let anything phaze me
Because I have transformed from a scared little girl into an ambitous young lady

People always tell me
that I act older than I seem
Not knowing I was forced to grow faster
and quicker than any normal gene
Ive had my heart broken
my insecurities have been found
Not saying that I found my soulmate
or that I am confidently sound
Because there are dayz when Im scared
But as far as I know thats considered typical
Im just saying when people dish out complaints
I learned to stay strong when people get critical

Cuz Im not the same little girl hiding from the world
Im not the same lost child ignorant to the truth
Im not the same person that couldnt find her way
Im not the same girlfriend or sister that was afraid to pay her dues
Now I can proudly say that pain has taught me to not let downfall make me
Because I have went from a little girl into a strong young lady...
 
whoa

I feel the intensity of every line, girl. The growth and the strides you've made, especially recently, have made me so proud of you. Now here is this piece, reflecting that growth and with your voice sounding so powerful and strong. Just makes me smile so big. Yes, you went from scared and little to ambitious and strong. You're still baby girl, though. :)

Much love.
