Refuse to live in the shadows
or confirm to societies views
Refuse to live in fear
It's left up to me to choose
You see not to long ago
I longed for acceptance
No longer concerned
With others perception
Just living life and don't need
Anyones permission
There's challenges to face
And I chose to embrace
All that i am and will ever be
i'll never be good enough
And that's okay with me
Incapable of showing love
if i live to your standards
I continue giving away power
that should be invested in me
how else am i to be Happy?
Must I jump through hoops
Like some circus act?
Emotionally i will regroup
After taking a dive
Even after the abuse
I showed i can survive
