Freedom...

Freedom...
 
A word so powerful to me,
You would never be able to understand.
A word so cheerful...
Cause I was once so harmful to myself.
I was lost inside of my soul,
With no where to go.
No where to call home but in front of the mirror  
With eye's that would glow.  
I was in fear of my life
With every stare came a shiver.
So I'd cry a river... into my pillow,
But when I got up and left that room.
No one would know.  
I was mastering a disguise,
An angel without the eye's.
 
Freedom...
 
A word I now have inked into my skin.
It means the end of my worst sins.
A end to someone I should have never been.
18 years of my life I'll never get back.
But now,  
I'm right on track.
 
 
Freedom...
 
A word I keep close to my heart
As I continue to fight.
Cause I know what it took to get here.
And I'm so thankful for life.
Cause I've seen it from a different angle.
And I have respect for every individual,
Who knows what it's like to get tangled into a web of lies.
And be miserable.  
To feel invisible,
And to think the unthinkable.  
But the worst is over..
And I've been blessed with a miracle.
Hopefully the rest of my life won't be that difficult.
 
And I'll wear my scars with pride,
Cause it represents how hard I've tried.
 
Cause all I've ever wanted was to be free.
 
Freedom...
