I use to think that i was strong
the last few days have proved me wrong
I have shown myself that i cant cope
but still i cling to a hred of hope
in the midst of an internal fight
to force myself to turn out right
I'm not half the girl i wish that i could be
I wish that i was free.
Where is it that i go from here
welcome to my number one fear
set things straight, myself i vow
i know what i want, but i dont know how
no more running i stand and fight
this time i will do whats right
im not half the girl i wish that i could be
i wish that i was free
The things you said wont go away
i really dont know what to say
vindictive and mean, i am not
but the things you said have hurt alot
I am not going to cause strife
theres more importance in my life
I'm not half the girl i wish that i could be
i wish that i was free
I do not know where i went wrong
every day just seems so long
it makes no sense i should be ok
i was not feeling this yesterday
I just can not seem to let you go
why is it that i feel so low?
i'm not half the girl i wish that i could be
i wish that i was free
It seems my world is falling apart
your slowly tearing out my heart
in a perfect world you'd still be here
instead i shed many a tear
without you i just cant find my way
But i will continue to march on anyway
im not half the girl i wish that i could be
i wish that i was free
My world has been turned upside down
flipped left and right, spun round and round
But i'll keep trying i will not stop
im determined to come out on top
i'm climbing an invisable wall
setting myself up for a fall
i'm not half the girl i wish that i could be
i wish that i was free
I will make it no matter what
I know who i am, i will come out on top
i'll pick up the peices, keep moving on
even though, i know, that you are gone
I will get there, you will see
one day you will be proud of me
I will be the girl i know that i can be
One day i will be free.

I know this is kinda long. But try to sit through it all if you can.

This has an uncompromized rhyme and the repetition of the last two lines within each stanza adds a lyrical feel, could imagine this sung by and angsty singer. Perhaps hred/shred and maybe tighten the capitalization of "I?" Just suggestions and definitely not criticisms dearest poetess. The emotion is strongly felt within the internal struggle and the eventual overcoming of the struggle. Well done.

Hmm, I do like this. This poem of an internal struggle to get past all the obstacles that your mind sets for you and truly live. I think we can all relate to the feeling of being "stuck" at times and not know where to go from where we are. Great job! Best wishes in your contest!
