| I look at little girls and a pang of envy comes over me
i used to be so young that all i cared about was playing with friends
and eating sweets and rollerblading in my bathing suit cuz i felt like a professional ice skater
and climbing my favorite tree, in my front yard, to the very top and feeling strong
i miss having a simpler life
i like my independence very much
and i know there are decision's i've made that will deeply affect people i love
but i chose what i chose and it's transforming me
i'm different yet still the same
i want to be loved for who i am and not who i was
i've given my heart to several people and the worst damage i've experienced has kept me hostage
i've in ways been set free but i still feel caged in
i've been given up on by people i was ready to love forever
i'm the fighter in all my relationships
the fighter to keep it going, the fighter to keep it safe, the fighter to keep giving and make sure i don't take too much
i don't want to be alone anymore
but when i am alone i want to grow and be ready for what's next
i just want what's next to be mine to keep, mine forever, not mine for as long as they feel like keeping me
i am who i am
i am still working on me

| i am who i am
not who you want to think i am
if i have goals
i'll never let go until i see victory or fail
this life does belong to me
God gave it to me and i'm trying to give it back
stop pushing me
if i say i'm not ready then i'm not ready
when i am ready
i will be ready for anything
i'm taking my time because i need it
the truth is, i still love you
