My New Life

Take me for a ride
Where they don’t deride
And I can be myself
Not a tiny, meek elf
Sharing in the joy
That we should all enjoy
Hiding from the shame
I thought was my name
It’s something I now embrace
As I win the rat race
Don’t tell me to be coy
No longer the killjoy
I’ll breathe deep the air
Look out, I now care
Stay away the blues
I’m wearing new shoes
I’m casting off the strife
And thriving in my new life
