I Know

I know who I am, and I know who I'm not.

I am the truth they tried to kill.

I am the girl they tried to stop.

I am the beast of tempered steel.

I am the one they left to rot.

I'm not the things that they have told.

I'm not the wrong they needed to right.

I'm not the bully who wanted control.

I'm not the girl who started fights.

I am the trap they shouldn't have sprung.

I am the fighter they thought to face.

I am reacting to what they've done.

I am the price they have to pay.

I'm not afraid that you're pissed off.

I'm not pathetic. I'm not a freak.

I'm not a loser because I've lost.

I'm not the awful things you see.

I know who I am, and I know who I'm not.

I know what you did, and what you thought.

I know who you chose to turn into.

I know who I am because of you.

I am the one who worked to forgive.

I am the one that didn't forget.

I am protective so I can live.

I am defiant. I do not quit.

I'm not someone who cares about you.

I'm not a puppet for you to use.

I'm not your servant, or your slave.

I'm not a pet for you to train.
