That lost girl

Once upon a time..
There was a girl in disguise 
She used to look in the mirror to wonder why she looked the way she did 
She notice that no one payed attention the fact that she was a witness to a serious crime 
She cried In bed almost every single night 
I MEAN EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! 
and tried to hide the pain she was feeling inside 
Maybe that girl was me 
Maybe just one day , someday she wanted to feel free
 maybe I got tired of others judging me based off personality
 even me , 
I carried doubts so heavily
but I found a quiet strength inside of me
and started becoming the person I was meant to be
Broken shattered pieces is what the enemy wanted me to be
But I rised up , head up and start to walk into victory 
That lost girl will forever be gone 
Because now as I stand Iam that  seed 
You  will forever remember me 
Once upon a time 
Iam set free 
Stronger than yesterday 
Now I can see 
My past didn't define me only made me a queen I was born to be ..
