When I Was A Child

by Nicole M. - Gemini

When I was a child
I obsessed about trivial things
   creating jealousy
 Proving my superiority in knowledge
Crying over hairline fractions of my hearts
  Men that would not have me
and my determination to have them anyway

When I was a child
  I held onto shallow things
Hidden selfishness
  and victimness

Now that I am on my way
   I leave behind
childish things
