I want to be on my own
Too long have I dreamed
About being a person
Who wasn't me
It's finally time that I realize
That my dreams will only come true
If I'm on my own
If I chase my dreams
And not somebody else's
So here I finally am
On my own
And I will fight
For as long as I can
To be myself
I will fight with a strength
That only I can produce
And I will win
I will win because I am living
I am living my own dream
I am free of this world
And I am free of gravity
So goodbye my friend
Goodbye Glinda
Someday you'll understand
Someday you'll see
Exactly what this power
Of individuality
Has done to me
And you'll want it too
But for now
I am on my own
And I will win

Wow...this is really interesting...I love how some lines from the song were used and others were interpreted differently and yet others were completly made up to fit the poem. Great job and good luck in my contest
