I CHOOSE ME
HE CHOSE HER
DIDN'T CHOOSE ME
A VERY ANGRY WOMAN
WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ME?
I LOVED HIM
THROUGH THE YEARS
HE CAUSED ME PAIN
HE CAUSED ME TEARS.
HE LEFT ME WHEN
I WAS SO YOUNG
BUT I HELD ON
I WAS STRONG.
I ALWAYS HOPED
HE'D MOVE BACK HOME
THEN HE MET HER
AND HOPE WAS GONE.
SHE IS EVIL
HE IS WHOOPED
HER OVER ME
WAS ALL IT TOOK.
I CLOSED UP
BUT NOW I'M FREE
HIS BAD CHOICES
NO LONGER AFFECT ME.
THERE IS BEAUTY
IN LETTING GO
PAIN AND ADVERSITY
HAS HELPED ME GROW.
THIS LAST YEAR
I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF
THAT I WILL CREATE MY FUTURE
ESCAPE THIS HELL.
I AM MY MOTHER'S CHILD
I WILL SUCCEED
A FIGHTER, A SURVIVOR
A DIFFERENT BREED.
YOU MIGHT HAVE CHOSE HER
IT IS SAD TO SEE
BUT, MY LIFE IS WHAT I MAKE IT
AND I CHOOSE ME.
