Free….

I can see the end in sight,

I see what I want.

The freedom to do as I please,

To be free and stand on my own two feet.

I want to dance and sing

To laugh without a care

To not look over my shoulder and worry

Wondering what hell awaited me that day

No, this time will be different

No matter the challenges

It will be on my terms

I want to know what it is like to live

I see my future

And you no longer play a part of it
