Mourning my youth, the books and chapters I lived.
Mourning My Youth Mourning my youth The quickness of exotic hairstyles Base, make up and black false eyelashes Red lips, and a beaming white smile. Mourning my youth My small perky breast And my twenty something waist My baby making hips, and a little roundness in my backside. Mourning my youth Back in the day My stupidity, judgment and ignorance And bad choices. Mourning my youth Of young love heartbreaks First experiences, more mistakes And a thing called fear of the unknown. Mourning my youth Finding out who I really am What I stand for And what direction I intended to go. Mourning my youth All that I lost And the knowledge I gained The courage in which I stand Mourning my youth Letting go of yesterday Inviting today Praying tomorrow comes. Mourning my youth Looking back and laughing Happy to be here in this space Still filled with life. Mourning my youth No regrets Loving my body It�s dip, dab and dunks. Mourning my youth Of Gods giving lessons So appreciative of all his blessings The ones I know and the ones I don�t Mourning my youth The book and chapters I lived The story I tell And the creation of the new book I now began.

Leticia,

First of all, welcome to AD; you're among friends.

Second, this is a powerfully penned, introspective look into the soul; we can mourn the mistakes, but the real lesson is learning from them and moving on. :) Great write!

(((((HUGS))))) and love, Karla. :)
