THE WOMAN I AM 👗👠👠~by heartchips 🎀

[halcyon pollen]

**Kira Kira Star
Cuckoos trill,
Stars shimmer—
Kira kira kira, star.
I am no longer a child,
Exhausted by the refrain:
"You're just a kid."
Those words mock my truth,
Dismissing the adulthood I’ve earned.

A decade ago,
Twelve summers gone,
Twelve winters faded,
I was a child.
But now, ten years have passed—
Ten summers melted,
Ten winters counted.
Chilly, yet steadfast,
I have emerged as a woman.

In 2017, I grasped the truth—
Puberty’s arrival,
The clarity it carried.
So why do you still cling to the lie?
Why persist in calling me a child?

I am no child—
I am a woman.
I have embraced these changes:
The tidal waves of hormones,
The evolution of body and mind,
The metamorphosis of self.

I am no longer the girl you knew.
I carry depth now,
Feelings as valid as any adult’s.
My heart aches,
My dignity stumbles,
Yet I rise with self-respect.

I am a woman.
I am flesh and soul,
Curves and thoughts,
My own being.
I have every right—
To hug, to love, to kiss,
To claim the life I choose.

You, with your jealousy,
Your hollow words,
Cannot stop me.
You couldn’t stop us kissing,
Could you?
No matter how you try,
The truth will remain.

Your idol belongs to me.
He is not your fantasy.
He is flesh,
He is real,
And he is mine.
So step aside.**

Thanks ♥️♥️♥️

Beautiful poem
Loved the theme the story and shape but I'd suggest to not use words like puberty or the year 2017
A metaphor for both would've been better it sounds more poetic

[rugged sparrow]

Either way really pretty piece

[halcyon pollen]

Oh thanks!

You, with your jealousy,
Your hollow words,
Cannot stop me.
You couldn’t stop us kissing,
Could you?
No matter how you try,
The truth will remain.

Feelings as valid as any adult's 💯
Great poem 🔥.
I hate how people expect teens to act like adults but give them the rights of kids

You should extend this tbh
It's a lovely piece of work

[halcyon pollen]

How can I extend if you would like to give suggestions?

[rugged sparrow]

Amazing

[halcyon pollen]

Thanks ♥️

[rugged sparrow]

Well you could add a stanza or two of how you deserve to have him or how he wants you
Because in all of the stanzas you're talking about how no one can stop you from having your subject
You should show his desire to get you as well

[halcyon pollen]

Thank you for your suggestions ♥️

[slow rose]

Love the flow!
