I will someday focus on living my own life before someone else
As i spent countless hours with you
I started to lose myself, lost with life more than I would ever want to.
Looking at my friends thrive and live on as i felt i was tied down with rope unable to move.
Feeling empty
Feeling afraid
Feeling vulnerable only to your needs
On and on the days grew longer
I still felt trapped like a lion in a cage
I wanted to change and develop into someone i've always dreamt to be
Someone independent, powerful.
Live my life before someone else's
Get out and be free, be me
That's what i did i grew into something beautiful
No more relying on you for my “rainbows and sunshine”
I was going to be happy on my own.
Finally I spread my wings and did me
After all the repetitive time of doing what seemed to be like nothing with my life
I started to feel unrestricted.
I felt like me.
I couldn't sit tight in longer
So I broke free
I was cheerful
And so much more in a individual spirit
Doing the things I wanted had never felt so superior
Feeling like i was the gum stuck under your shoe was a pain I will never feel again
From being concealed to one and one life only
I was me and I was free
Living my life the way I wanted to and not living someone else's.
