A New World

I’m abandoning the world I always knew, 
the one I built for me, and for you.
I’m walking out on smiles and shine,
to replace the agony that occurs with time. 

I'm rewriting fate to my own consent, 
allowing my soul to feel content.
I'm entering the world that I can control,
into eternal freedom, where I can be whole.

I'm submitting to a place you call unseen,
but I am acquainted to its regime!
I'm committing to who I want to be, 
I'm letting myself belong to me.

I was weak but now I'm strong!
You thought I was helpless, but you were wrong.
I was before you but you inclined,
and now when you look, you will never find.
