Within me, she awaits,
Patiently, eagerly,

You know what that means, don’t you?
The person I’m working on becoming,
I will become her.
I am already her. She’s me. I am her.

When I was young, I dreamed a dream
Of runways and spotlights, the glamorous sheen
A model, I’d be, in the gloss and the gleam
Shoots, press, and magazines — a life supreme

I made it there, to that dazzling place
Where cameras flashed and the world embraced
Glory and praise in every gaze
But in my heart, I knew I should have stayed

Embraced the victory, let it linger
Held onto the triumph with a firmer finger
But worry not, for in my hands
Tearsheets and centrefolds are my bands

Proof of the path that I have walked
Of dreams fulfilled, of goals unlocked
You know what that means, don’t you see?

The person I’m working on becoming is me

I am already her, she’s within
The future me, she’s always been
I just need to believe a little more
In the magic I hold at my very core

To razzle dazzle my confidence, worth
To lift my self-esteem, give it rebirth
All that good stuff, it’s in my sight
I want to become her, starting tonight

I will make it, it’s destined to be
This journey of becoming, it’s happening to me
Not just in dreams or in future’s call
But here, right now, I’m giving it my all

It’s going to happen, it’s happening now
I am her, she’s me, I vow
Within me, she waits, ever so near
I am becoming her, my path is clear
