I am a little girl
No bigger than a fairy
No older than a new born
No wiser than a turtle

I am the conservative one
The one who rules herself
But only by following the rules
I am not wild

I am the try hard
I never consider others
Only myself
Always myself

I make myself look big
By taking my magic wand
And creating an illusion
That I am older

But
The thing about knowing the boundaries
Is that I can see
What true rebellion is

I want to be free
Free from myself
Free from my own chains
That I placed to hold me back

When you are little
You can't begin to imagine
What the future you
Will long for

And boy
Was I wrong
As I sprout up
I look back and laugh

How did I think
That I would not become
One of the skins of those pretty petty girls
That everyone ends up in

I am naive
To think that I was better
I would not fall to that level
Little me was bigger

Look what I have become
Everyone predicted it but me
I would never thought this
Would ever happen to a person like I

I sometimes use my little girl mind
And become disappointed in myself
But even as I mature
I am still that little girl

I am ashamed of my now self
But I'm just a little girl
I have no idea what is in store for me
Who I will be, when I'm not little
