Break Free

You say i am nothing but a burden,
The greatest disappointment.
Just because i do not fit:
Your perfect little mould.
The perfect little girl.

You say i am nothing but a burden,
Not who you want me to be.
Because i have my own ideas?
My own problems?
Because I'm not a perfect copy?

You call me a burden.
Disappointment.
Whatever else you think of me.

But i am not that.
And do not care to be.

I am more than money,
More than prestige,
More than some twisted image of your perfection.

I am me.

And i will always be.
Just. Me.

I live my own dreams,
Separate from what you would have me be.
I have my own friends,
Who love me just for me.

I am more than the cage you have always put me in.

I am wild.
I dream of freedom.

And i will fly.
Independently.

Gone.
Away from you.
As soon as i can.

But until my freedom i can take,
Know this:

I will be who none but i wish to be.
And you will Never break me!
