I want to be reborn

I want to be reborn 
I want to be free 
not better than anyone
just better than me.
Earning my money
nothing more, nothing less
living not surviving 
and leaving no mess.

I want to be a girl 
that effortlessly breathes 
to look in the mirror 
and not hate what I see,
the ones that skin glows 
that everybody knows,
with eyes like the sky 
they wouldn't dare to see cry .

I want to be reborn
so that I fit in 
walks through storms 
and walk through winds.
having long flowing hair 
and live in a world with no care.

I want to be reborn 
it will be better that way, 
I wont have to pretend
or watch what I say,
I wont have to be hidden 
or blend into the crowd, 
because its impossible to be free 
when you were born to stand out.

I want to be reborn 
it's exhausting being me, 
hoping for a change 
that isn't meant to be, 

I want to be reborn 
if I wasn't already clear,
maybe then  they will like me 
and not hide away in fear. 

I want to be reborn 
its tiring being me, 
existing a world 
impossible to be free.

For me its different 
I  wasn't born to be free 
I was birthed full of hatred 
and forced to be me.
