SHE

She took the risk, gave everything up
For a chance to be somebody to him
Only for him to turn his back on her
Just when she needed him most

He made her feel like nothing
Made her feel like a failure
Made her feel like she wasn't worth
Anything good anymore

And for years, she clung on
To his narrative of who she was
That she was small and cursed
An used and failed good

Once or twice she thought she had a chance
When they flattered her bruised heart
Only for them to use her like he did
Just when she needed much more

But tonight, she's going to stop it all
First, she's going to forgive herself
For all the faults and lies she told herself
Of being nothing more than what she's now

She's going to remember who she really is
Of her strength and how far she has grown
She's going to rewrite her story
And make herself the hero

She's going to give herself the love
And acceptance she deserves
She's going to rebuild all of her
Until they see the goddess that she is.
