The Girl I Used To Be

Eurico Zimbres on Wikimedia commons

I’m not the girl I was before,

It’s something quite bizarre

I am not less, I am not more

I resemble from afar.

But once upon a closer look

You’d see the way these changes took

My hips got wider, feet got larger

belly loosened too,

I got some wrinkles and some marks,

‘cause I gave birth to you.

I’m not the girl I used to be

Yet do not frown my brow,

‘cause though that girl’s no longer me

I am a woman now.
