I’m still a girl
yet to grow into the body of a goddess
to be a woman
there is a long journey that awaits
I’m not yet a pearl
still one with the wilderness
but just you wait and watch me grow
this girl will make time her accessory
I won’t have my back curled
I’ll be towering over you and your conscious
I don’t even need my stilettos
I’m already above you
watch me in, in twenty years
no anti-aging cream will burn my skin
for the wrinkles, you see near my eyes
hold the depths of the world
it’s not something the shallow would know
our beauty is customized for those who can love it
its elegance is immortal
we aren’t a product on the shelf with an expiry date and the best use before 8 months
we are not waiting for someone to come and pick us up
we are timeless
I’ve yet to grow and learn
but there is nothing that can block my path
I’m going to be a goddess, a woman
for I am a girl
