To not live in fear- What an amazing feeling it is To no longer live in fear To say what you think And not care who’s there to hear To not be afraid of being hit And not have to take anyone’s shit I lived in it so long That I was blind I couldn’t see that it was wrong I lived so long with all this shame Forever believing that somehow I deserved it That I was to blame But now I see that it isn’t true You let me believe it And I was prisoner to you It took me time And distance And space To finally learn the truth And to begin to find my place And my place is not there with you The collective you The you that has hurt me The you that’s done me wrong From childhood to womanhood I thought I was weak and incapable You let me believe it You wanted me too So that I would stay captive and subservient to you But now I see it isn’t true For If I were not strong I would not have been able To live and survive the nightmare that is you No one will hold me down again No one will take the things from me That unknowingly I gave to you That collective you that damaged my soul And scarred me more than I’ll ever show I wont be accountable to anyone but me It doesn’t matter if someone likes it Cuz finally I am free No man Nor God Nor Faith Will ever again a prisoner of me How beautiful it feels To finally be free To owe no allegiance Nor explanation To anyone but me Hey look at me Look and then see That I am beautiful And brave and free That I can be anything I want to be That I owe nothing to anyone No one but me So I shout it again From mountains on high Watch me while I soar As I begin to learn to fly Look at me look at me I am beautiful And I am brave And now I am finally free How sweet it is To not live in mortal fear And say what I think And not give a shit Who’s there to hear.
