Not Afraid

Im not afraid to look in mirror
its all a blur to me
the girl you think you knew is history

Im not afraid to walk these streets
knowing that im not in your arms
was i there all along?

Im not afraid to stand up
and say i made my mistakes
and im going to change no matter what it takes

Im not afraid to be loved
because tough love is the realist of them all
my heart got cracks but it wont fall off

Im not afraid to realize
character is created within the mind
and unlike others i can see mine

Im not afraid to be me
i became who i wanted to be
and now i want others to see
me....
