"Big" by Khadija Alhayki

My mother says I am a “big girl” now,

And I should act like one.

My grandma says that too,

But no one told me how!

But what does a “big girl” mean?

What do I need to do?

Does big mean I can drive?

Does it mean no school?

Credit cards?

Independence?

I don’t have a clue!

In the grown up’s dictionary,

“Big” means an “unlicensed adult”.

I am no longer a child.

I don’t belong there

But...

I am not yet an adult

I guess I am only “a big girl”
