Life was a fantasy

Life was a big old roller-coaster with ups and downs wanting things I can't have

then finally getting them, I didn't seem to want them anymore

Before I needed to grow and find me because in that moment I didn't know myself

Before I was on that roller-coaster sitting back, enjoying the ride but that's all gone now

I finally can look in the mirror and see the girl in front of me.

No longer living that beautiful teenage fantasy with small hopes and little dreams

No longer playing the fool, with empty feelings and a dark hole where my heart was suppose to be

No longer am I drowning in my own self-pity, wallowing in what that four letter word was expected to be

No longer repeating the  past where I scared to be truly me with individuality and creativity

No longer putting my trust in someone who doesn't deserve 

No, I finally know who I am and where I stand, I finally know me 

I am not quiet like the little girl in the past, I am loud and stronger than before

I am a caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly, a girl into a woman

A woman ready to spread her wings and show everyone that I can not be put down instead

I will spread my wings and fly extraordinarily
