Today

as a woman I've grown.
open my heart and realize i can make it on my own.
got to stop blaming others for my past.
for what happen at the age nine, we where different now i know our love wouldn't 
had last.
in my soul i must bury my bad relationships.
in my soul i must bury my youth and start a new path.
the evil no longer in my eyes, he's no longer by my side.
today i start a new day.
i leave yesterday behind and today i do things my way.
i hold my head up for those who put me down, no friend i need.
God in my heart indeed.
today i make a change and say no more.
things can't go on like before.
today i wash my pain away.
the rain will clear and the sun will come out.
today as a woman i take  a stand, i spread my wings 
today i start a new day and leave yesterday behind and today i do things my way.
