Finally Me

[verse] I step to the edge with fear in my gut.

The disapproval in your eyes, when you tell me what I’m supposed to be it breaks my heart.

The mask you forced me to wear feels like poison in my veins.

The air sound me feels heavy with smog.

When I look in the mirror I see a stranger in chains, the voice in my throat rings with a different name.

When I peer into my reflection I see a soul who’s trapped, IN A BODY THATS NOT MINE!!!!

Mamma won’t understand if I told who I am!

Her gaze grows cold her words slice my heart like blades. The one I thought would love me not matter what, turns out that love was conditional!!!

Now when I look in the shards of the broken mirror, I see pieces of the real me shining back through the glass.

The scars that I see are I sign of the battles I’ve won, I am finally free to be me that is true.

The voice that I hear rings with a more familiar tone. The name that I speak fits my frame perfectly.

My skin felt like a prison but not anymore I’ve broken out of the box that I use to be stuck in.

Mamma won’t understand if I told who I am!

Her gaze grows cold her words slice my heart like blades. The one I thought would love me not matter what, turns out that love was conditional!!!

Even though there are those who disagree with my true self, but that’s the price you pay in the world of today.

When I step in the light it’s being reborn, into a skin that feels like home. I’m finally me.

I am finally me!!!!
