I was a broken girl
tattered by the love you toss away
Used my scars and tears to build myself
Now
the past is gone and you still live there
calling of all my love obsession
no that’s right
and I would hate to miss quote you
all my love was just a delusion
a silly fantasy
nothing to cry to about
Just one more silly girl broken by your love
I was a broken girl
running from my heart ache
ran so much
ran straight into womanhood
left you behind
never really living
tell love found me begging
and I learn my to love myself
and say those magic words
taking my time rolling them off my tongue
No!
No!!
No!!!
They are so sweet to hear and
even sweeter to say
I was a broken girl
just a little thing cowering
from all the thorns you toss my way
twisted from my own need to be needed
Saying all the right words
but never understanding that my power lies
in my hips and lips
all fueled by
the soul that animates them
I am woman, rebuilt from all my heartbreaks
more than a lover, a thinker and action taker,
dancing through the rain of my own memories
splashing in every puddle and laughing all the way
knowing that when I stand up for myself
casting off the labels
casting off delusions
imposed or otherwise
I am the woman
I am meant to be
