When Will You Learn

#12 Motivational Series


When will you learn, you cannot stop me?
My voice is mine to speak what I feel
I am free to be all I can be

All that I choose to pursue is real
My freedom is something that I found
My voice is mine to speak what I feel

I will not turn back or turn around
My space is something that I cherish
My freedom is something that I found

What I choose to do, I will finish
I will always have my own safe place
My space is something that I cherish

I am no longer haunted by your face
You do not have power anymore
I will always have my own safe place

This is your chance to stop doing more
When will you learn you cannot stop me?
You do not have power anymore
I am free to be all I can be

It's truly a remarkable moment when a person rids the excess baggage and learns how wonderful it is to be strong and confident. I have walked away from an abusive relationship and can relate to the feeling you describe, Heidi! I've been enjoying your series. Hugs, Carolyn
