Me, Myself, & I

I lost my virginity at thirteen
At the time I didn't know the world, I just wanted to
be seen.
Lost like plenty other girls my age
Got my period, boobs, hitting that young woman stage
Insecure of my body and shy
Soon as I got that attention from the
wrong guy, telling all the right lies, to get in
between my thighs
It wasn't until then did I realize
Life is nothing that I've fantasized
Sheltered from the world silenced and ignored
Instead of warned to prevent all that I endured
Where was everyone's opinion then when it was needed
The women in my life failed me by being so selfish and
conceded
Worried about my appearance instead of how
I was being treated
The love and guidance from you all I once pleaded
Until I grew up and realized I have myself
And I was all I ever needed
