Once upon a time, I was a happy little girl
And the way I lived was seeing joy in all the world
Then one day I realized that there were bad things too
It happened long ago and it happened because of you
You took me by the hand and you told me I was pretty
I should never have trusted you when you gave me no pity
You used me as your plaything for your own twisted desires
The way I see the world now is just a sphere hosting liars
I used to never cry at night and fall asleep in tears
I didn't flinch at all mens' voices because of old fears
You took the smiles that I gave to everyone I trusted
Replacing them with twisted sneers- my face feels like it's rusted.
I look into my mirror now and see the woman's pain
I'm only seventeen, but I'll never be a child again
You might have ruined me forever if God had not intervened
And sent me an angel to polish my tarnished heart to a bright sheen
Beyond the pain I see a strength I've never seen before
You made me into someone that I hated and abhorred
Now that scarred and broken girl is resting peacefully
She has been healed and repaired and transformed into me
My guardian angel protects me now from memories of fear
He stands watch over all my dreams, his strength is always here
His influence over my outlook gives my healed heart wings
My Battlefield Justice giver has made me a new thing.
