I was a girl once
And I had it all
I desired to shine
And still rise high
I was a girl once
And the paradox made me curse
As I had to take the violation
And the pain kept getting worse
I was a girl once
And I had to be in disguise
And I had to be comprehensive
And I had to be precise
I was a girl once
And it wasn’t always spring
The thunder scared me every time
The heat burned my skin
I was a girl once
And I got the chills
When you spread your wings
And my dreams were called off
I was a girl once
And had the epiphany
That despite, I really had it all
As I really had the power of many
I was a girl once
And I could be a woman one day
I could be the beautiful one
And besides, inviolable per se
I was a girl once
And was emotionally stereotyped
But mockery didn’t break me
I let go of the hype
I was a girl once
And I figured what I could be
I could be anything my dreams see
And I could be a mother
I could be in love forever
