Live Life LOUD!!!


The little girl I used to be
Would play in trees, and get on her knees
To stare at bees and bugs all day
Never had a care, but to play
I used to say lets play jacks
I used to say lets hang up band posters with tact’s
I used to sing, and even dance
Even throw my brother an evil glance
But through the years it tends to go
Due to the fact I need to grow


I need to mature
I’m sure, I’m sure
But one thing’s clear
The little girl I used to be
Will always be
Apart of me.

The author's comments:
I really enjoyed writing this piece because it took me back to being little and growing up and everything I've gone through summed up into one poem.
