Oh sweet girl
If you could see yourself now
You’d have to look again
You’d have to blink twice
You’ve change so much
You’d hardly recognize
If you could see how much you’ve grown
You’d think
It wasn't possible
It couldn't be true
But I promise you’re living now
I promise I used to be you
How can it be so?
I had to let you go
This change wasn’t drastic
You should know it was quite slow
Though it didn’t happen overnight
My dear, we came out all right
Sure, there are some wounds
Some bruises and scars to show our fight
Some lasting effects of the choices we made
And maybe those will never heal
They’ll probably never fade
But the things that haunted us
The terrors that kept us awake
The raging battle we lost everyday
Those whispering voices and lying words
The strings we hung from
The demons we faced
Those are gone now
And our mind is a quiet place
See, my darling girl
I don’t have to hide anymore
I don’t have to be someone I’m not
I don’t have to keep the secrets
Or think I've been forgot
I’m not alone
The danger is gone
That battle has been fought
Can’t you see it?
I’m someone you’re not
I’m the one you dreamed to be
I’m the girl who’s finally free
And I promise you used to be me
So, little one
I’m sorry you had to be the girl who never won
The girl who struggled and never saw the outcome
The one who wished for something better
But just couldn't escape
The roaring fight we continued to wage
But hear me now
It was you that lead to something new
See, there was a way out of the torture
Out of the traumas that now stand as my past
And the bonagde that has turned into my freedom
So, now I need you to see
That everything you went through
Turned you into me
And I want to release you
The girl I once knew
Into the past
Where all things eventually go
I’ll let go of my hold
You don’t need to take anything with you
No bondage or baggage
I don’t hold it against you
I realize, you were only a part of the woman we’ll be
And I’ll still see you
I’ll still see the little girl I used to be
That innocent face
That chaotic mind
And timid frame I used to call mine
I’ll still see you
But I refuse to be you anymore
The memory of you will always stay
But it will not get in my way
You may have shaped me
But I wish you could you see
You no longer have any hold on me
I choose to be bolder, stronger, and wiser than you
I choose to move forward
It’s time that I do
And so, my sweet girl
If you can see the now
I hope you like the new you
Because for once in our life
I finally do
