I feel so free; free like a bird.

My prayers have not gone unheard.

Accusations kept me down,

Made me sad, made me frown.

But tonight I read a little something,

Something that makes me want to sing.

It proved my point, that I have won;

Off my shoulders comes a ton.

That the person does not know me,

The real me: they can’t see!

“Amazing what sex can do,”

Why yes girl; look at you.

But that’s all I have to say,

For I cast all that into the bay.

There are many things left unsaid

Floating around inside my head.

Not half of them were expressed;

So many points left unstressed.

But they’ll stay locked up in there,

As I’ve said; I don’t care.

Price is a work destroyed,

But I find I’m not annoyed.

I am not the best writer,

Nor am I a great fighter.

These things I’ve known all my life;

And I’d probably make a bad wife.

But also there are things I know,

And these things do show.

I know I’m no better then anyone,

But at least I can have my fun.

Competitions aren’t so great;

I can hardly climb a gate.

But being the best isn’t so cool,

I’d rather have my friends from school.

I do blame myself a lot,

When my mind is ready to rot.

But I get over it eventually;

I can’t be sad perpetually.

I have too much to lose,

Not some drugs, or some booze.

I don’t like them at all.

In fact, they make me feel small.

But my friends, and my mind,

So many things of many a kind.

Those materials aren’t my concern;

It’s the places that I yearn,

And the people I like to see,

The people that see the good in me.

It might be hard to sometimes,

Maybe harder then these rhymes,

But they know that it is there.

It brings me comfort that they care.

Out with the old and in with the new;

Especially the petty people that shoo

Away their very old good friends.

Time’s a wall, which slowly descends.

It separates people, twists and turns,

And sometimes it even burns.

Leave a scar or two it might,

But sometimes it can be bright.

But you can’t have light without dark,

That’s like a tree without bark.

Endure it and its well worth it,

You’ll feel much better if you trust it;

These words of a fool still in school,

Somebody that isn’t too cool.

But know I am happy;

There’s nothing to make me feel crappy.

I know happiness isn’t forever,

Neither is “being together”.

But if there’s one thing I really don’t know;

It’s when my real old friend will show.

But I think they’ve gone away for good.

I never thought they could,

But I was wrong, that I admit.

But these bad times I will omit.

I’m a free girl anymore;

No sadness, nothing sore.

This bird will fly far into the light,

While those in darkness choose to fight.
