I live my life constrained
In these invisible bars
that I've built myself
They protect me
from this ugly world
and self-serving people
I've been through things
You would never know
Or would understand its complexities
I've been screaming
But haven't been heard
It's time to end this course
With a strong force
I don't have to be saved
Get ready to see
All the things I'm capable of being
I'm gaining strength
To be unstoppable
I'm not being comical
