I Am Not

I'm not who she was 
so please don't expect the same 
I'm not who she was 
not broken lonely or ashamed 
i'm not who she was 
that frighten scared little girl 
i'm not who she was 
the one that thought a man defined her world
i'm not who she was 
both mentally and physically abused 
i'm not who she was
stripen from all her rights and dues
i'm not who she was 
ready to give up and cry 
i'm not who she was 
just willing to die
I am she 
free from worry and fear
I am she 
ready to declare God's name 
I am she
that stand bold and strong
I am she 
that knows God love conquers all
I am she 
that knows i have the victory
I am she 
that defines all that she will be 
I am a conquer though Jesus who strengthen me
and now the only thing that i can be is the best me
