I have been a naive girl
Wishing on stars
Believing in happily ever after
Fairy tales and the like
But the illusion shattered
Leaving reality in it's place
Leaving behind a woman
Disillusioned and Hurt
Bereft for the loss of innocence

I was a woman angry
At the injustice of it all
Now I am

I am
That girl hoping for the best
I am
That woman who sees what is and what will be
I am
A lady
I see what I have been
I know what I was
And I can control who I become
I am me
Completely
Lady
