I’m not the girl that I used to be.

I’m not the girl that “needs” you.

I’m not the girl that lives for your attention.

I’m not the girl that wonders what you would think before she does something.

I’m not the girl that cries herself to sleep because you made her feel like she was never good enough.

I’m not the girl that gets put into a box of what you think she should be.

I’m not the girl that falls for the mind games. (I know it’s you, I know it’s been you, I just haven’t cared)

I’m not that girl anymore. So, don’t for one second think that I am.

I am the girl that gets out of bed in the morning.

I am the girl that is building her confidence to levels it hasn’t been in years.

I am the girl that is “herself” and not a bullshit version of what she “had” to be.

I am the girl that isn’t afraid anymore of what an extra pound will look like.

I am the girl that has friends that never make her feel alone.

I am the girl that will never let anyone steer her away from doing what she loves.

I am the girl that is willing to give herself to someone again because she is learning what she deserves.

You don’t know this new me; I’ve put back my pieces differently.
