Im not the same girl who used to shrink into the background.
Now, I wont hesitate to walk out of your life if you hurt me.
I wont do the polite thing and keep quiet when you make me feel horrible about myself.
Natalie Allen
Im not afraid to speak my mind anymore.
Im not afraid to put other people in their place.
Im not the same girl who used to worry what other people thought of me.
Im not the same girl who used to follow the crowd.
Now, I dont care what anyone thinks of me.
I dont care if you consider me selfish or bitchy or unladylike.
If you dont like me, then you dont have to deal with me.
Its as simple as that.
Im not going to change myself to fit in with the crowd.
Im not going to alter my thoughts and beliefs to come across as more likable.
I no longer live to hey other people.
I trust myself now more than ever.
I dont need outside validation to get to feel worthwhile.
I already feel that way without anyone elses approval.
Im not the same girl who used to believe everything I heard.
Im not the same girl who used to blindly trust anyone who was nice to me.
Now, I pay more attention to actions than words.
Im cautious about who gets let into my heart.
Im careful not to give out second chances to people who never deserved a first chance.
Im not the same girl you used to know.
