The Girl Of Many Talents


A girl of many talents,

I mean she could do it all

Before she asked someone for help,

She would try it on her own

She loved to try new things

And loved the feeling when it was done

She would find new things to do

Just for fun

 

She had so much confidence in herself,

They say she was conceited

But her opinion of herself

Was all she needed

When she got dressed,

No one could tell her nothing

This girl right here

Was really something

 

But one day this girl met a guy,

She was sceptical at first

I guess something told her it was wrong,

But she hates to think the worse

Because this girl that was once confident,

Ready to take on the world

Started to feel like nothing,

She forgot her worth

 

She used to tell herself she’s beautiful,

Now she wonders if it’s true

She been questioning herself a lot lately

Since she been with this dude

He manipulated her often,

So she wouldn’t leave the house

That beautiful personality,

Was now as quiet as a mouse

 

She stopped doing the things she loved to do,

Her confidence was nowhere to be found

Even when she tried to get it back,

He would knock it right back down

He would get upset if she wanted to go out

And try to have fun

And tried his best to keep her away

From everyone

 

At some point in time she got tired,

She missed who she used to be

Before he came in her life

And caused so much misery

She was tired of fighting,

Because it kept getting worse

She knew if she didn’t leave now,

She would go out in a Hurst

 

The girl of many talents,

Knew this couldn’t be it

She knew there was more to her life,

She knew she had a gift

She had to find a way out,

She had to find a way quick

It wasn’t easy, but she did it

 

 

But where does she go from here,

How does she get back

To that girl of many talents,

With the confidence she lacks

She’s scared to go out of her comfort zone

Because she’s used to being pushed back

But she’s determined to do it.

That’s nothing but facts

 

You see, all those years he spent

Trying to break her down

It backfired on him

Because she’s stronger now

She went through the fire,

But she didn’t get burned

He spent all those years shining,

Now it was her turn
