I'm Where I Want To Be

I've lived my life for others,

Gave ‘til my heart ran dry,

Words of wisdom, love unmeasured,

But never heard my own cry.

I loved like no other,

Yet the love I sought stayed away,

Now I stand on my own,

No more games to play.

I am free, I am flying,

No chains, no ties, no denying,

I'll walk this road alone,

And I swear, I'm where I want to be.

Aging taught me lessons,

Looking out for myself at last,

No more chasing fleeting echoes,

Just living, no looking past.

No search for love, no waiting,

Just words left to share,

What I want, when I want,

No one else to declare.

I am free, I am soaring,

No regrets, no more imploring,

I’ll die alone, but I don’t grieve,

‘Cause alone is where I want to be.
