Was, Is, Will Be- Im Ain Ani Li, Mi Li?

I can deal with loneliness
The solitude of no one who understands
Is almost comforting
Cuz who can I rely on
If don't choose to rely on myself.

There is only me
I have to look out for myself
My heart, my head
My limits
Maybe I push boundaries
Maybe I break rules
Maybe that's just me.

Who I am
Can't be defined
I am more than a picture
A description
But who I am
Is me
Whoever that may be

You can't pin me down
Put me in a box
You cornered me once
You shoved me down
And trampled on my spirit
You broke me
But I emerged
I didn't succumb
I soared
I won't be chained down
I will fly.

You tried to crush me
And you almost did
I almost gave in to the pain
I almost let my life go off the edge
Like it did once before
But I fought
Tooth and nail
For my happiness
I would not lose

And now here I am
I see the finish line
Of this race that I am running now
I hear the cheers
See the signs
And there you are
Arms wide open
Ready to hold me
Thank you for everything
Thank you for pulling from the pain
Thank you for giving my my wings.
