Me

I stand in my apartment. Its silence a welcome. I look around. Its mine. I did this. On my own. The astonishment and the feeling of joy at this accomplishment overwhelms me. No one believed I could do it. That I had the strength or will to accomplish this. But I did. I succeeded. I won. I sit and think on the past year and all that has taken place. A feeling of peace settles upon me as I listen to the words pouring from the speakers of my computer. These words, when i had first heard them, had struck a chord. Deep inside me. They struck true...

I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
That's always been with one of those guys
You know the type Like right now, he sleeps while I write
But it's better than crying I'm worn out from trying
From loving a man who always makes it clear
I'm not welcome here
Just till he's horny and hungry or needs something cleaned
And you know what I mean
But not tonight
'Cause come the morning light,
oh I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
The stronger woman in me
I'm going to be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no,
'Cause there's a stronger woman, A stronger woman in me
Light bulbs buzz, I get up
And head to my drawer
I wish there was more I could say
Another fairytale fades to gray
I've lived on hope Just like a child
Walking that mile Faking that smile
All the while Wishing my heart had wings
Well tonight, I'm going to be The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be,
oh I'm gonna love myself more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
There's a stronger woman in me
I'm gonna be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
I won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman, A stronger woman
This is me, packing up my bags
And this is me, headed for the door
And this is me, the best you ever had
I'm going to love myself More than anyone else
Believe in me even if someone cannot see
There's a stronger woman in me
I'm going to be my own best friend
Stay with me till the end
Won't lose myself again, never, no
'Cause there's a stronger woman A stronger woman There's a stronger woman, A stronger woman in me,
