Breaking down
The barriers
The bullies built
Bewteen
The world and me
Between
The person
They told me
To be
And the one
I always
Wanted to be
Breaking
Down the barriers
And coming to
Terms with
The me I see
And accepting
That I am the one
Who needs to change
Because I am the only one
I can change
And that change
Cannot come
Soon enough
Instead of being
The scared
Little girl
They also
Thought I was
And wanted me
To be
I can change
And be the strong
Woman they
Never saw coming
Because for one
I realize
It really is
My choice
Not theirs
And that fact
Is nothing short
Of glorious
