I used to be such a broken girl

I used to be a cutter of my flesh

I used to be a hater of myself

I used to be such a broken girl

But not anymore

My scars are healing, inside and out

My self-esteem isn't the highest, but now

I can stand to look in the mirror

I still cry when I'm sad, but I'm happy

More days than when I'm sad

I'm proud of me

I didn't die

I didn't let everything around me break me

I learned to live, I learned to love

I'm even learning how to fly now

I used to be broken, but now I am strong

Is this the butterfly you saw all along?

I used to be such a broken girl

But not anymore

Now I am beautiful
