Maritza


I look through your brown eyes,
With your content grin.
Wondering where has this little girl,
With the inquisitive mind had gone.
Yesterday, you were a baby.
Following me wherever i went.
And never wanted to be alone.
But now you have become indpedent.
You don't cling on me.
Or ask your cute questions.
As I watched you grow,
I still feel that you need me.
I would shield you from the pain and drama.
The suffering and hate,
I have experienced in this world.
That's if life would left me.
But I understand you need to grow,
and I don't want to be blamed,
For holding you back.
So, I must set you free,
For you to see what life has to offer you.
Bit in the back of my mind.
You're still the baby who clings to me.
