I don't want my voice drowned in the crowd
I want to swim against the currents
In the rough and stormy waters
No holding back
Just me in a place
To speak my mind
To be able to do what I want with my life
To become me in every aspect
I have cried
But there's no shame in tears
I have laughed
And enjoyed the good times
I've sufferd we all have and all will
At some point and time
Some say one day I'll have a family
But after seeing my family
And pay attention to each of their individual stories
I honestly can say I'd be fine alone
So where does that leave me pray tell
I look to the stars for some hidden sign
They are silent
But I wonder if there light is calling me to some other place
Am I only to live to just die later
I see no purpose
This body is my prison
These words are my shackles
I can't imagine how others must feel
But this is me
This is real
It won't go away
