This Is Me
This is me
I'm not girl that you wanted me to turn out to be
The person that put her family first
The girl that wanted to be accepted the worse
They ask me why would I leave you all alone
They failed to realize that there is a phone
So what if I had stayed
These things I could not trade
This is me
I know it is hard for you to see
I'm no longer the young girl that I once was
I know your asking yourself is this just because
The things that I thought that I would never have to go through
When I think about it all everything you told me was true
If it wasn't one thing it was another
And I always thought to myself why didn't I listen to my mother
This is me
I wish I could start all over and throw away the key
But everything you do will always hunt you
You see momma I still have no clue
I went from friends talking about me behind my back
To thinking of things to do to get on the right track
I went from heartache from having a abortion
To getting on the right path and solving the poportion
This is me
Begging so someone to come and set me free
This is me
