I killed her!

I killed her

With every word I spoke

I shed the skin that held me down

And emerged a brand new soul

In the quiet of the night

I stared into the mirror

And saw a stranger looking back

But the one I was beginning to revere

I murdered all my doubts and fears

And left them in the past

I opened up my heart and mind

To seize the world at last

Gone are the days of hesitation

Or worrying about what others think

I spread my wings and took to flight

With every breath and blink

So here's to the old me

Who I had to kill to live

I'll honor her with gratitude

And all the love I have to give
