I used to be a child <br /> young, wild, free, and foolish. <br />But now I'm an adult <br /> and all I have is responsibility. <br /> <br />I used to be a girl <br /> full of laughter and happiness. <br /> and tears that showed up in my emotions. <br />But now I'm a woman <br /> full of inner mysteries and periods <br /> That men don't and can't understand. <br /> There's no way for me to stop - <br /> The cycle of growing up.<br /><br />Stacey Gibbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-used-to-but-now/
