i'm never gonna be who you want me to be
i'm never gonna take the path you have for me
i'm never gonna be good enough for you
I go where i wanna go
I do what i wanna do
I act how i wanna act
I say what i wanna say
I think what i wanna think
I speak how i wanna speak
i'm not the girl you used to love
i'm not that same girl anymore
i'm stronger than i was before
i'm braver than i even thought possible
i'm filled with battle scars beyond belief
i'm proof of victory and loss
i'm not the same girl you once knew
I am not perfect
I am not what you expected
I am not what you wanted me to be
I am not your dream girl
I am not how you imagined
