Finding Myself

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

I give up…
On living my life a lie
I give up…
On living my life the way that you want me to live
I give up…
On being who you want me to be
I’m setting myself free;

I’m unlocking these chains you have wrapped around me…
I’m giving up the tears that you have made me bleed…
I’m shedding the skin that has made me think of myself as a failure… 
I’m walking away from my past;

All my life, I’ve smiled to make you happy…
I’ve struggled to be perfect to fit your needs…
I’ve given up those that made me happy, in order to do the things that you have wanted me to do…
I’ve stayed depressed because I didn’t know who I was…
But now, I am free;

I live my life the way I want-
No worries…
No regrets…
No lies;

I live on the moment…
I clown around with friends…
I shout out my love to the world…
Nothing holds me back from my dreams;

I’m finally me.
