Chain Free

My brain is turning over

Just like an engine

I feel a new life starting

Old thoughts are fading

I'm a new me

A much stronger me

Confident now

When I once wasn't

I see things in a new light

No longer having to fight

These negative thoughts

I understand now

I'm worth something

I won't back down

I'm here to stay

I feel myself

Rising up

In protest

A burning in my chest

That says

I'm good enough

Not a door mat

I've become rough

To fight

Those who oppose me

I am cage free

The chains gone

They fell away

The beast is released

Teeth bared

I no longer care

The square peg

Broke the round hole

And I will be me

No more sympathy
