Liberation

She sits alone with her thoughts
No longer a worry in her mind
She's always followed someone else's rules
From today on she is a rebel

A long hard fight for her rights
Her very independence
Always tucked underneath a mans thumb
No longer will she feel that annoyance

Today she found the very keys to her freedom
Were in her very own hands
All she had to do was find her inside courage
It was she herself that unlocked the bars that held her

Maybe today she will fly away
To some tropical beautiful island
Or maybe she'll just sit right here on this suitcase
By herself enjoying her peace and silence.....
