Just 15
Marisela B 1968 (La)
‘JUST 15’
SWEET AS A PIE JUST TURNED FIFTEEN.
MAKING THE GRADES THAT WAS SET
FOR ME. AS PERFECT AS IT SHOULD BE.
BEHAVING LIKE THE PERFECT QUEEN THAT
THEY WANT ME TO BE.
GOING TO THE MALL WITH THE ONE A BE’S.
MET A BOY THAT LIVES DOWN THE STREET.
WILLING TO GIVE HIM ALL HE NEEDS.
AND WILLING TO GIVE ALL MY DREAMS. WITHOUT REALIZING
THAT LOVE IS IN BETWEEN.
