The real me

I'm broken, damaged

Chewed and spit out

The world has stained me

My heart has been shattered

Will I be accepted?

Am I too damaged?

I've worked so hard

To become better than I was yesterday

I have picked up the pieces,

To my heart

I embrace my life

I allow myself to feel

I let my energy flow

I don't want to hide anymore

I want you to see the real me

The one who has battle scars

The one who fought and conquered 

The girl who made mistakes

Who made a mess of her life

But cleaned up the mess

That woman who is breaking free

The real me
