Confessions of a Good Girl: A Poetry Collection

Getting Older

What they don't tell you

is that the older you get

the harder life gets

the bigger the responsibilities

the lower the pay

the more you put in

the less you get out

the more you love

the more you lose

the more of your heart you invest

the more pieces of your soul

are ripped away when your heart

is broken

like plaster they fall away

leaving a shell to hold your dreams

and your heart
