Emotional Maturity Poem by Jessica Thomas

My life seems ordinary, so dull and drab
I'm caught between choices, which one to grab
Integrity and stability as I mature
The girl inside craves to be nutured
Knowing the woman in me will supervene
Still I don't feel neither heard nor seen
I know that I have potential and talent
Always seeking knowledge for any event
Yet, I'm on the fence of emotional warfare
I'll use my inner child to motivate and care
I am a person with deep passion
To myself sometimes I show no compassion
Be kind and I'll fulfill my dreams one day
This relies on doing my best in every way
I'm left feeling unable to give up my past
Not knowing how to let go invokes my stress
I yearn to be a woman, and mother never was
I desire to be a wife and mom not chase a buzz
For now I hold my faith that God will provide
He will guide me through my emotional divide.
