You left me broken

Lying on the floor

Shattered into pieces

I can't take it anymore.

You ripped my heart out

And tossed it away

I wanna look in a mirror

And feel beautiful today.

Beauty is a word

That we all despise.

Society set high standards

Now we all have to strive.

You told me I was pretty

But I guess you lied

I saw you burn a flower

And you watched as it died.

I don't need you anymore,

I'm better off this way

An advantage without you

Is I feel beautiful every day.

And to this day I don't regret

Letting you slam that door

I don't need you anyways,

You see, 

I'm a warrior.
