Poetry: SIXTEEN

Published on 24 August 2022 at 12:24

Do not ask me how
But it seems
Sixteen years
Can be enough
To shape a human
From a being

A human in all
It's vulnerabilities
Flaws, mistakes
And troubles
Scratched by life
With lessons learned
Values
And norms
Of which this human is
Slowly growing to be
The owner

How sixteen years
Can be enough
To shape a woman
From a being

How she starts to
Cherish quotes of elders
In her heart
And advice
She suddenly
Embraces

A woman with talents
In development
Countless stars
To be grateful for

It can be enough to create
A being that lives
