Hello To the Me
Goodbye to the me
you thought I should be
My life is my own
not yours out on loan
I'm not what you sought
I cannot be bought
No guilt can lay claim
nor pressure nor shame
To bring me in line
with your selfish design
Start looking elsewhere
for somewhere out there
Is one whom you seek
so fragile and weak
I'm taking myself
from off of your shelf
Hello to the me
who's finally free
