An Invested Woman

I am grown. Still being called a little girl. But this is just the reason that separates girls from women. More like invested in being a woman.

I am a woman not a girl

For I am more than legal

I pay my own bills

I drive my own car

I aim to own my own house

I have a job

I am a woman not a girl

For I have graduated high school

I am enrolled and will graduate college

I will get my masters or my juris doctrine

I just might get my phd

I will pursue a career

I am a woman not a girl

For I want a real future

I want to date so i can find the one

I want to find the one so I can marry

I want to marry so I can have a family

I want a happily ever after

I am a woman not a girl

For I am as I am

I have self esteem from my point of view

I have self respect from carrying myself well

I am self sufficient from getting things done

I am responsible from being reliable

I am a woman not a girl

For I invest my time wisely

I invest my money better

I pick better choices

I see the world differently

I am an Invested woman
