Breaking Free
I feel trapped in a shell and want to get out
It get so frustrating I want to shout
Trying to figure out what put me here in the first place
Before I leave this cramped little space
Not wanting to return to what put me here
Trying to avoid my constant fear
Of people hurting me...
Keeping me from who I want to be
I need to realize that I deserve the best
And no longer settle for anything less
I want to escape without looking back
I want to remain on a new solid track
Happy, without fear and totally free
The part of me I miss to be
How do I get rid of this shell?
Once upon a time I knew oh so well
But now I can’t seem to figure it out
Why, where, what is this all about?
Set me free for I am stuck
Praying hard for better luck
I need to escape, this overworked mind
I need to break out and need to unwind
For now all I can do is pray
That life works out in an amazing way
For now all there is to say
Is in this cramped shell, I can no longer stay
Time to focus on me
Be all I ever wished to be
While I’m finally breaking free
