This Is Who I Am
This is who I am
This is who I’m meant to be
I’ve been wandering, in the dark so long
Now I’ve found my place, I can do no wrong
This is who I am
Not who I was
I’m telling you this
So you know, because
I’ve waited forever
To be myself
Didn’t want to be forgotten
And left on the shelf
Don’t want to be lonely
But now I have my own me
No longer a memory
I’m out of the dark and I can see
I’m not, afraid
I’m not hiding anymore
Not scared like before
I have, my scars
They mark us all
But help us up when we fall
This is who I am
This is who I’m meant to be
Every time a bone breaks
We grow stronger in its place
This is who I am
Not who I was
I didn’t need your help
I needed your love
