Finally

Finally I've begun to open the door, the door once closed to my heart.

Freedom I feel as I'm released from the chains I used to bound myself

into Self destruction. Hope I see as I look into the distance, fear troubles
my

soul as I realize the journey traveled will be by myself. Tired of being
alone, tired

of feeling pain, tired of feeling trapped. The wind rusuhing in my ears

whispers "Escape, escape, escape!" as I run away from my fears, from my

doubts, from myself. All I see is sky and tears, crying out all the pain
that lived in

my heart, that kept me from really loving, from really knowing what love
was.

Crying out all the pain that blinded me, that made me protect what was
already

safe. Running faster, freedom ahead, breaking free, breaking free, breaking
free.

Finally breaking free from the expected. Am I who you thought I was? Am I

who you wanted to be? Was I? Was I? I was, but I'm free. Free to see me.

Free to actually see. No longer blind, tears dry on my face as the sun
smiles

Down on me telling me it's alright. I can finally be me. I can finally be
free. I can

breathe, I can breathe! Finally, finally, I am who I am.
