If only you could look into my heart I know you would see how afraid I am
afraid of the unknown, afraid of the known

What you did demolished my soul and destroyed me
Yet I still allow you to control my life
Every decision, every guy,
Every encounter spurred on by the fact that you took what meant the most to me

I found that I've been punishing myself
I've been too afraid to let go of the past hurt
Too afraid to be hurt by another
So I let them take what they want only to lose a piece of myself each time

I will no longer be a victim and stand by watching my life go astray
Today I will fight, fight for what I once had that was taken from me
Fight for what I want and what I believe
But most of all I will fight for the girl I used to be

The girl I was before
The girl whose scarred heart you took and ripped open
Open for every other guy to make a mockery of
Her self-esteem gone in those few moments, changing everything

Today I will fight not only for me but for every other girl and women who's been through the same
You destroyed me now watch me pick up the pieces and make myself whole again

You will not win
You will not get the satisfaction
I am a strong, independent women
but most of all
I AM A SURVIVOR
