The Woman I Am

[DestinysMom0813]

Today is the day I sit back and reflect upon myself,
I ask myself, What type of woman have I become?
For so long I let others dictate my life,
I let them tell me who I am, and what type of person I am
Now I know for sure who I really am.
I'm not the same little girl that you knew before.

I'm not going to be quiet anymore. I've learned to use my voice
I'm not going to stand back and take the pain. I'll fight back
I'm not going to let you do the things you've done to me. I'll make sure you understand the consequences.
I'm stronger then I used to be. I'm a big girl, watch me fly

There are a lot of things I know I'm not.
I'm not as strong as I appear to be. I actually break really easily
I'm not as calm as you think I am. Inside I'm screaming
I'm not the innocent girl that I was before. I've opened my eyes to the truth around me.
I won't let anyone hurt me anymore.

The woman I am is strong and independent
I won't depend on others to make me feel complete
The woman I am is a loving and caring mother.
I won't let you make me think differently of myself
The woman I am is a bitch when you hurt me
The woman I am won't bite my tongue anymore
The woman I am is me, and I have finally found myself

I realized its time to accept my fate,
and move on and do what I need to do for me.
I'm not going to live my life to please you anymore
I am living my life for me and my own
The future is here, and now my eyes are opened
And This is the woman I am.
