How am I supposed to be me?
Independent and free,
When you keep messing with me?
Take the knife,
Cut off my broken wings,
Let me fight,
But what I really want to do
Is take flight,
I just wanna be me,
Independent and free,
Just stop messing with me,
And fix my broken wings and let me fly.

makes me think of a song. all i can remember is a piece of the chorus:
So take these broken wings and learn to fly again
learn to live so free and when we hear the voices sing
the book of love will open up and let us in
pretty song, that.
just looked for it online and found a link to the lyrics:

it's a song called, hrrm, "Broken Wings". lol - i'm sure you've heard it. fairly popular once upon a time and it has been repeated on radio forever.
free free free. we all want to be free... -
Wow. The rhyming pattern was a little unusual but it still fit fine. It didnt flow as smoothly because of that but the words made up for it. The metaphor was beautiful and so was the message. Great job!
