Getting pushed away

Lost in the shadows, searching for my way

Feeling the weight of words they always say

Why does it feel like I’m fighting a tide

Pushed to the edges, wanting to hide

They want control, to shape who I am

But I’m breaking free, I gotta take a stand

Can’t understand why they hold so tight

Craving my silence, stealing my light

But I won’t be a shadow, I’ll find my own dawn

Gotta rise above, can't keep moving on?

Why do they push me away?

Why do they want me to stay?

I need to break free today

Find my own path, find my own way

They want me to follow, to fit in a mold

But inside I’m burning, I’m feeling so cold

I’ve got my voice, I’m learning to yell

Won't let their wishes cast me in a shell

Tried to understand the game they play

But I won’t be a puppet, I won’t stray

Searching for freedom in this heavy rain

Holding on to hope, easing the pain

Why do they push me away?

Why do they want me to stay?

I need to break free today

Find my own path, find my own way

This is my story, I hold the pen

No more pretending, no more pretend

Breaking these chains, I'll find my voice

Making my choice, I’ll make my own noise

Standing tall, I’ll face the sun

Free from their shadows, I’ve just begun

To be who I am, not who they say

Walking my own road, come what may
