Am I the one who sulked
In the pit of a dark empty room;
In a pace where I am always stuck;
As though prepared to meet my doomAm I the one who barked
At the wrong place, the wrong time;
Every story of mine would go to spark
And now — do I owe them a dime?Am I the girl who hid
In corners and shadows so grim;
For after all the words I've bid
O, the lonesome coward I've ever beenAm I the girl who tried
To leave the same mossy spot;
To put my chin up and not abide
By sadness and whoever wants me to stopAm I the one who'll speak
For the most selfish I've been;
For the ways I rebuked on innocents' seek
And make ammends on how I was seenAm I the girl who'll show
To the world that's full of wonders;
For the chances I took to throw
And fulfill, cherish, go on to yonder⊶⊰ ⊱⊷
