It may seem trivial to some

 But to those of us

 Who know the pain of hiding

 It is precious treasure

 It can not be bought

 At least with money

 Only with hard stressful nights

 Times of tears

 All of the past

 Brought forward and push out

 Like birthing a Baby

It takes sweat and pain

They don't let you go easily

 To many years of ropes that binded you

 Nevertheless, you moved past the words

 The actions that caused the ropes to twist

Hiding the hope inside of yourself

 As you, untangle the pain

 So twisted itself in knots

 Around your beings

You relive the events

 The difference is

 You finally freed yourself

From the abuser the master

Of your faith was dismissed

 You took control of your destiny

 Who you will become

 No longer hiding

 Feeling like an embarrassment

To the entire human race

 But holding your head High

 Saying I'm ready to become

The person that has been so lost inside

 It's okay to come

Witness to the world

Letting other know your thoughts

Revealing who you are

 Even shedding a few tears

 But saying I'm alive and free

 I'm alive not only on the outside

 But deep within the recesses of my spirit

 A flame has lit causing a wild fire

Which burned all the pain away

Now I have found a person inside

 Who is sensitive and sweet

 Finding the gifts that make me unique

 I struggle to shared

 Maybe I will break a few of those folkways

 Along the trails of perceptions

 However, I'm becoming a person

 Who will not fear

 The ones walking near

 Will love without

Worrying about the stare

Or those words I no longer care to hear

 The one thing that was right all along

 I am not like everyone else

 I am becoming the person I always was

 Allowed to roam freely through the world

 Seeking the truth, happiness and love

 

 Finding validation from people

Who look to see the person I am

 The person I'm becoming

 The person who is finally taken the keys

Releasing my spirit from it trapped captivity

 Letting myself out to wander freely

 Moreover, just be me
