I am that girl


I am that girl The girl who have known Love, happiness I am that girl who knew nothing but how to love How to be happy and trust people Believe in life and love I am that girl I am that girl who has been Broken into pieces Lost hope for love let alone Happiness I am that girl who it rained all Day in her eyes I am that girl who has been Eaten by resentment Self doubt, sorrow And sadness I am that girl who loneliness Found a place to dwell Decisions and choices been drove by pain Heartaches and headaches been Her motivation To lead a path of regrets I am that girl I am that girl Who has known weakness Through past experience Strength found her Stopped playing victim Swallowed her pain Owned her mistakes and her brokenness I am that girl who chose self love And self acceptance Over self doubt The girl who chose happiness over sadness Love over hate I am that girl who lights her darkness with self love Giving up resentment and regrets over gratitude and forgiveness Forgave herself and living up to what's right Hope for love has been awakened with self love I am that girl Who believes in second chances Who believes there's always a new ending Who believes that her present and future life Isn't written by her past Her imperfections and flaws as part Of being human And mistakes are nothing but lessons A path of finding true self I am that girl who will Live as if tomorrow is not promised Dream as if there's no failing Love like I have never been hurt Trust as if there's no betrayal I am that girl

<p>I am the girl who faced similar challenges, but fell into the pit of self hate. The darkness that overcame me, and I keep hidden away. I am glad you chose to love yourself over hate, Keep on loving, and smiling, and know that your poem just made my day.</p>
