Forged in fire and Made of Steel

When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see the girl with the twinkling smile?
Or the one with the burning ambition

When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see the dumpy girl running from place to place?
Or the one with the thrilling voice making friends?

When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see the girl forged in fire and made of steel?
Or the one who melted diamonds to be here

What do I see when I look at me?
I see the girl groomed from bitterness into light
I see the woman who makes mistakes and learns
I see the person who seeks the return of a lost lover
I see me as I was, and as I am
I see me as the holdable one
The one who was loved without borders or restrictions

I see it all; I see the soft and the hard
I see the calm and the tempestuous
I see the jealousy and the acceptance
I see the sorrow and the bitterness

Forged in Fire, Made of Steel
Always in emotion
Never in repose
