That Piece of Me

My life is not my own
yet I choose to believe
there is a piece of me
that I must retrieve

to break the hold
of those who bind me
I rise higher than them
and put them behind me

I now hold something
that's very precious
which now I can see
leaves me breathless

my destiny is mine own
and now I see
that I did in fact retrieve
the best part of me
