I love the place I am
and the person I've become
I'd never have been as strong and bold
without jumping the ship of "home"

That little girl with dreams so big
she's long gone and banished now
The awkward teen who trusts too much
she lost the naive warmth

The woman who emerged from ash
commands her personal power
She knows enough of heartache
draws inspiration from pain's flower
