I posted these lyrics in the Social Chat area....I thought that they would fit her as well. After reading the article in this months newsletter written by SpetemberMorn.... This song brings new meaning to me!!!!!
At one time I had a hard time being me!!! I was always trying to be someone or something that someone else wanted..... I was trying to be that person that my abuser wanted me to be..he made me that way.....I had grown up that way and to SURVIVE (which I did) I accepted that he wasnt going to stop... Self Esteem has been a major issue with me..... I am working on it and at this point in time feel like i could take on the world.... Please read these lyrics.....They are inspiring to me! Shadow ~ Ashlee Simpson I was six years old When my parents went away I was stuck inside a broken life I couldn't wish away She was beautiful She had everything and more And my escape was hiding out and running for the door Somebody listen please It used to be so hard being me Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake My chains are finally free Don't feel sorry for me All the days collided One less perfect than the next I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity So if you're listening There's so much more to me you haven't seen Living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me Living in a nightmare A never-ending sleep But now that I am wide awake Then I can finally see Don't feel sorry for me- Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Mother, sister, father, sister, mother Everything's cool now Oh, my life is good I've got more than anyone should Oh, my life is good And the past is in the past I was living in the shadow Of someone else's dream Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me I'm living in a new day I'm living it for me And now that I am wide awake Then I can finally see Don't feel sorry for me Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me Living in, living in, living in the shadow Living in, living in, living in a new da

This song touched me when I first read it. It has done so again in a stronger way.
 "second best" and "someone else's dream" are key words!
