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.
