The darkest night of the soul

I put on this face for too long
Who is this girl
I'm looking in the mirror all bare-faced 
Who is this girl
I have changed my ways and values to play the part
Who is this girl 
I look deep inside 
I see a green spark
Who is this girl

It's getting bright
I'm losing sight, and the pain is letting go
Who is this girl 
Yeah, Who is this girl 

I'm a pro of the hustle. These streets are only for the bold
Who is this girl
I walk a fine line but stay in my lane
Who is this girl
I'll look past it all and take what mine
Who is this girl
I don't need anyone, says the fool alone.
Who is this girl
I'm screaming inside. It's the best place to hide.
Who is this girl
My facade takes it all. I don't even care. 
Who is this girl?
I'm pleasing you but neglecting myself 
Who is this girl
Down the vicious path of desperate choices in this wretched world 
Who is this girl?
I see a green spark
Who is this girl?

It's getting bright
I'm losing sight, and the pain is letting go
Who is this girl 
Yeah, Who is this girl 

Up and the roll coaster of life
Man, I'd do anything to be a wife.
But choices were naive 
I'm still blessed I conceived
There was no one to save me
Don't get me wrong
I had beautiful experiences 
But.
Who is this girl?
Who was that girl?

It's getting bright
I'm losing sight, and the pain is letting go
Who was that girl
Walking at my heart space.
And I'm not making any apologies 
I was that girl
Yeah, Who was that girl?
I was that girl. 


The following is a lyric song facing dark shadows to alchemize in truth. I pray for you to maintain your faith.
