No, I am not the one I used to be
I raised up after a thousand years
If you look at me, maybe I seem like the same one
But within I am new, can't you see?
I was tortured, bullied, humiliated and cursed
Never good enough, never capable or worth
I was broke, misunderstood and rejected
Pushed out from the nest though I was the first
I searched everywhere for a very long time
Someone who would love me the way I am
Who would understand, make me happy and whole
But only I've learned was misery, pain and a waste of time
All of that loss because, all I was doing was wrong
I was searching on the totally wrong places
Except the only one I should
Within my own heart, for which I thought was dead for so long
But what a surprise!
Among all that ashes one little spark survived
Saying: You are worth to me! You are my eternal love!
That moment one young, shiny Phoenix arose
No, I am not the one I used to be
I just raised up after a thousand years
If you look at me, maybe I seem like the same
But I am the new one! I am worth! I am loved!
Can't you see me?!
I am Vlatka, your friend!
