I was a girl, afraid of the world
Didn’t dare to trust, nor adjust
I was a girl, slow to know
Never ate, lost some weight
I was a girl, too cold to hold
Fear was clear, always near
I was a girl, intertwined in my mind
Would even choke as I spoke
I was a girl, a lot who I’m not
I’m now free, can’t you see

I am a girl, as bold as told
Learned to try, learned why
I am a girl; I’ll walk the talk
Always eat, I feel complete
I am a girl, swears and cares
Through the rough, grew tough
I am a girl; I’ll dance and prance
Feels the thrill, has the will
I am a girl, as true as you
Just as me, forever free
