I never thought the day would come
I finally stopped running from
The person that is my true self
Stopped living the life of someone else

The chains are broken
The gates are open
This monster has kept me in distress for too long
After all these years, now it is gone

All the worries that had built up inside me
Not being understood
Not being desirable or good
Not being right the way I am
Now I just do not give a damn

We all live in different, ever changing periods of transition
Some of us make this irreversible once in a lifetime decision

I realize the only way to be
Is to be unapologetically me
