I found myself,
As I took a chance,
A chance to rewrite my circumstance.
I freed myself
When I released the chains,
The chains that caused all sorts of pains.
I found the truth,
As I searched down deep,
Deeply at the values to keep.
I honored myself,
As I stood my ground,
That is where my hope was found.
I stand alone,
As I am free,
Free to let myself just be.
