I want to know what it’s like
To stand on my two
& not feel so weak
I want to know what it’s like
To step outside my world
Without it crumbling beneath my feet
To stand on my own & not feel so alone
I want to know what it’s like
To believe in myself for me
& to be able to speak
Without limiting what I say or do each day
I want to know what it’s like
To feel love & defeat
I want to know what it’s like
To feel happy for more than a day
To call a place home
Maybe even wanted
I want to know what it’s like
To feel empowered
I want to know what it’s like
To live a different life &
A different story with a great life
I know what it’s like to be me
But I’m not where I’m supposed to be..
