I am simply myself
no more and no less
and I want only to be free
from these constraints holding me
I only want to live
my life as I see fit,
not to live my life not fighting to be free
from these constraints holding me
I will not be submissive,
to be told who I am and who I will be
I will not be told to not break free
from these constraints holding me
I will not live within these confines
of such a small world they have shown me,
I have discovered I am the only one to rescue me
from these constraints holding me
I am simply myself
no more and no less
and I want only to be free
from these constraints holding me
I only want to live
the life I dream of having,
so different from the one prescribed to me
from these constraints holding me
I will not give up,
I will never tire of this struggle-
life is not worth living, if my only comfort comes
from these constraints holding me
