From: daughters. To: Mothers.

I Am

I am not a genious,

Nor am i an adult.

I am a child.

I was a child.

I am now a young lady;

A young lady that will soon blossom

Into a woman.

I am a person,

Not your pet.

I am a person that deserves

To be treated with respect

No matter what race, sex, or age.

I am your daughter;

Your daughter that wants to be heard;

Your daughter that has a dream

That nothing in the world,

Not even education can make come true...

If no one is there to believe;

If that dream is not heard.

I may be inteligent.

I may be talentedBut

I am not a genious,

Nor am I an adult

And for you to stand there

And treat me as if I am...

Breaks my heart,

Along with my dreams and goalsInside of it.

So, before you make an expectation of me,

Remeber! ! !

I am not a genious,

Nor am I an adult.

I am your daughter.

Now, And forever.

Heaven Ludy
