Learning to breathe again
Learning to live again
So long have I been a shell
Of what I truly am
So locked up inside myself
To hide from the pain
Being given to me
Trying to overcome the lies
Trying to overcome the pain
Letting myself be free
From the cage that held me for so very long
How I have yearned for this freedom I now have
Yet now that I have it
It scares me to no end
I question myself
Even more now than I did when I was caged
And only a shell but live I must
If only for the love in my heart
Thought it may be quite a while
Before I can fly on my own
I must try
To find how I once was before my wings were shattered
And torn apart by someone who was supposed to love me
For me yet didn't for some reason unknown to me
But now is the time for rebirth
And I must use it wisely
Lest I end up back in the cage I fought so hard to get
Out of in the first place
