Yesssssss

I used to walk with my head down low

Afraid of the wind, afraid of the road

Chains made of silence, built over years

Whispers and warnings, and swallowed tears

They told me “stay small,” they told me “be still”

That love means obedience, not your own will

But something inside me began to rise

A whisper that grew into battle cries

---

I am free — I can breathe, I can run

I can sing like the rising sun

No more cages, no more shame

No more playing someone else’s game

I found my voice, I found the key

I broke the locks — now I am free

---

It wasn’t easy, I bled on the climb

But freedom is paid for one scar at a time

I lost some people who couldn’t see

That loving me means letting me be

---

And now I dance in the open air

Hair in the wind, nothing to fear

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need praise

Just sky and space and honest days

---

I am free — I can breathe, I can stand

I can hold my child with both my hands

No more silence, no more fear

No more hiding who I am here

I found the fire, I found the sea

I found my God inside of me

And now I’m free

I am free
