Second-guessing because the first didn't feel right,

I'm so deep in the dark I can't see the light;

I love the dark sky but not the moonless night,

Why am I always stuck in the same maze with no one in my sight?

I know it's a dream but it feels so real.

Shock tremors rock my body;

I feel sorry, I feel fear.

"You can't do it," I hear the voice,

"You're a loser," they say above all the noise.

I have cringed back for long,

I've let them sing the same song,

I have danced to their melody,

But not now, not again, because I'm ready

To break free of my fears;

I know now that it's okay to shed tears.

I feel a pressure and it urges me to give in,

But I ignore it, I tune it out; I'm in it to win it.

Yes, I'll come out and shine bright;

I will unleash my holy might.

Because the more they tell me I can't,

The more they strengthen my resolve.

The more they try to imprison, the more they set me free.

Because at the end of the day, I'm my own person, 

And I can be whoever I wanna be.
