Today I am me.

Today I am myself.

Today I am not yours.

Today I am my own.

Today I belong to me.

Today I will hold myself.

Today I will dance alone.

Today I will better myself.

Today I will read to myself.

Today I will notice my beauty.

Free

Let me be free. 

Let me wander.

Let me feel the voices behind the mountains calling my name. 

Before I sleep I stare out my widow and long for the stars in my eyes. 

I do not want to stay here. 

I want to be free.

Distort

Do not tell me

everything is the same,

when I can hear the walls 

shaking against the clash.
