I'm that young girl who was forced to grow up at a tender age
I'm that little girl who had to suppress her pain all day and pour it out at night
I'm that girl who's comforter was her own pillow till she ran out of tears
I'm that girl who's dreams remained dreams but never a reality
Today they call me cruel forgetting the damage they caused
Today they say l'm heartless because l'm not weak as them
Today I'm bold, strong and empty thanks to them..
