I Was the Girl

After a lifetime of being anything but who I am

I was the girl

Who lived to die

While the world destroyed

What was on the inside

I was the girl

That no one saw

Who was seen as less

Than nothing at all

I was the girl

Who always dreamed big

About changing the world

By starting with my demons

I was the girl

Who knew not to cry

Till the damns cannot hold

All that has been locked inside

I am the girl

Finally able to breathe

Beginning to fight misconceptions

Of the girl I used to be

inspirational
