They told me I would never be anything.
They never believed in me.
It was them who told me who to be.
Not this time.
Not next time.
Not even after that time.
This time it's a new me.
A brand new she.
I tell myself who I can be.
I am the one who will believe in me.
My steps are not measured by your permission.
Just like you have no say in my transition.
The voices before are silenced.
The voices are mute.
The voices can't even talk.
My steps are measured by how walk.
My life, oh my life.
You want to talk about my life.
Ok, but you forgot I don't hear you.
It's because I'm a new me and your words hold no virtue.
I deny what you think is true.
I am me.
I am she.
I am her.
I am that woman.
I am the queen.
I am meant to be.
On this journey of the new me.
