i know that i'm not supposed to apologize, not anymore
no more apologizing for something that i couldn't control
something that was done to me
but somewhere deep down there's a child, part of me that was never healed
who's never seen the light of what now i know
it's not my life anymore, the one of the girl who cowers, who shivers, at the thought of what is now something that i can handle
i hope that you know that you could never hurt me, not like someone who once did back when i couldn't fight back
when i couldn't say a word
now i am stronger and i can speak speak my tone, my thoughts
i now know that when i am hurt that i will be able to speak
the girl who held her own so long ago had her trust shattered
like a piece of glass broken beyond belief,
believing that hope no longer something that could be trusted
But now hope is something i can believe in
i've seen it, it propels me forward
with this in mind, i hope you know that i can trust you with anything
i know with any action done, you will not be the same as the one who hurt me
i know that someone i finally have someone i trust
