The Life Of A Teenage Girl

© Elise
Look how she’s changed,
Look how she’s grown,
The personality changes
I should have known

The make up she wears,
Each day it gets thicker
Why is she doing this?
To grow up quicker?

The days she comes in
She runs to her room
Is it really possible,
Too feel so much gloom?

The tears in her eyes,
Her heart as it breaks
She will learn to realize
Her minor mistakes

I cuddle her in
I miss times like this
The young girl that smiled
My gorgeous ‘Little miss’
Now her dancing, and prancing
The games we did play
Her sorrow, it drifts memories
So many miles away

I call her down
As I do each time
To ask her to share with me
The troubles of her prime

The response was different
To the one I used to know
She stared up at me
She was beginning to let go

The stories she told
The rumours she’d heard
No wonder my princess
Had not said a word

The thing she said next
Opened my eyes
To a world I’d never known
A world of hurt and hated and lies

‘Mum’ she said
As the tales unfurled
‘This is the life,
Of a Teenage Girl
