Today is my birthday, I am 33.
I'm not yet the person, I thought I would be.
I still feel like a girl, in dress up clothes
Pretending to be grown-up, and no one knows.
I thought I would know more, I don't know how.
I guess I thought I'd be wiser by now.
I'd have the answers when they ask why
I'd have the reasons why they should try
I would be confidant with who I am
So I could build confidence in each of them.
I would have more trust, and a little less fear
The future would look a little more clear
I would not keep making the same mistakes
I would learn my lessons, whatever it takes.
Today is my birthday, I am 33
I am working on being who I thought I would be.

Happy Birthday to you!
I absolutely LOVED turning 33! Your poetry is exactly how most people would love to write. Keep up the beautiful expression of your life honey. It takes me back to when I was your age.
As a poet I suggest that you be a little careful re the use of the word and. If you can substitute other synonyms it would help. (not to criticize as I find nothing to criticize in your work.
From one poet to another....you are amazing!
