Out of The Shadows View

I'M OUT OF THE SHADOW!

I can finally see the light!

After years beneath your darkness,

I'M TAKING BACK MY FUCKING LIFE!

You tried to bury me in rumors,

Tried to make me disappear,

But the girl you thought you shattered

DOESN'T FUCKING LIVE HERE!

 

I crawled through hell!

I survived!

You don't control me anymore!

I'M OUT OF THE SHADOW!

AND I'M STRONGER THAN BEFORE!

 

Keep writing.

WRITE!

Keep watching.

WATCH!

Keep talking.

TALK!

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Your pen doesn't own me!

Your words don't define me!

Your shadow doesn't follow me!

 

NOT!

ANY!

FUCKING!

MORE!

BLEGH!

 

You spent years

Trying to destroy my name...

AND ALL YOU DID...

WAS TEACH ME HOW TO SURVIVE!

 

I remember the girl

Who was scared to speak.

Afraid every word

Would become another story.

I wish I could reach back

And tell her...

 

Hold on.

One day you'll wake up

And the shadow will be gone.

And when you finally see yourself

Standing in the morning light...

You'll realize...

 

It never took your strength.

It only taught you

How strong you really were.

 

I'M OUT OF THE SHADOW!

And I'm finally fucking free!

You can keep your pages full of lies,

THEY DON'T DEFINE ME!

 

I turned the pain into my armor,

Turned the scars into my strength,

You spent years trying to break me

BUT I FOUND MYSELF AGAIN!

I crawled through hell!

I survived!

 

And now I'm more than I was before!

I'M OUT OF THE SHADOW!

I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE!

 

Every word you documented...

Every rumor you created...

Every year you stole from me...

Made me stronger.

So keep the pen.

Keep the paper.

Keep the lies.

Because you don't get to write

the rest of my story.

I DO.

I'M FUCKING FREE!

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Imagine being watched constantly no matter what you do..

Instead of letting it break you, you use it to make yourself stronger
