Who I Once Was

 

 

 

Don’t say I can’t do it 

Cause I’ve done it before

Try me 

You’ll see

This is what I’m here for

I am made to prosper

Break through any barrier

I burried her

I left her to die

Insecure, alone and ashamed

I left her to cry.

To rest 

Alone

In whatever peace she can find

Its cold

She no longer exist in my mind

So take me

Take me to your highest level

Take me on, so I can be better

I am better 

I do better

Forever changing like the weather.

The forecast is shining

My future is bright

No rain, no thunder

Nothing but light.

Its me

I’m here

Standing alone

But ask me if I sleep.

I’ll say, “fuck it...”

“..I don’t.”

So what is this you ask me?

Why do you question my mind

All I need is Time

Time!

Give me time to explain

Give me time to show you 

I am no longer the same

Pain!!

Uh Uh , I don’t feel it no more

Name!?

What the hell you askin’ me for?

I am  no longer she 

I am no longer her

I am not who I once was

I am not that girl you first loved

I am beautiful

Stronger than before

Hated less and loved more

I am Symone

Once played by her own tune

Soft as her own voice

Loud as her own sadness

Its madness!

I wanted more but had less

Less to show

More to fear

My time is near

To show you 

How great I am

 

I am she!

Who loves whole heartedly

I am she 

Who gives all of me

Naw, I’m not that girl

I am that woman!

Changing in unimaginable ways

better days....

and longer stays

 

Damn, I love that girl

That woman

Irreplaceable

Unbreakable

Unable to stop.

 

Hard as rock

BUT I AM NOT.....

Who I once was.
