Sadly, I thought about my quest for the big thing.
I realized I had been obsessed with my looks.
I was a girl in her late teens, self absorbed with myself,
I wanted it all,
I wanted the beauty, brains and True love.
Nature didn't smile at me,
Mother Earth blessed me with a face full of pimples, mood swings and monthlies that could only usher me into womanhood.
"I don't deserve this! I thought to myself;
I am just a flower in her prime,
All the life I envisaged, I got none..
Looking downcast and sullen, I wondered " how do I get home tonight"
With a self esteem as low as mine, I could only look on.....
