I had always been the kind of girl

Who picked up that penny on tails.

Ihad always been the kind of girl

Who tripped even when holding on to the railing.

I used to be the kind of girl

Who wore whatever she wanted.

I used to be the kind of girl

Who didn't care what other people thought.

Now, I'm the kind of girl

Who looks in the mirror too much.

Now, I'm the kind of girl

Who can't go a day without fearing the world.

I want to be the kind of girl

Who can say "I'm okay" and mean it.

I want to be the kind of girl

Who can put a smile on her own face.

I don't want to be anybody else.

I want to be me.
