With my head held high
and my heart tucked away from my sleeve,
safely stowed behind my strength,

I walk away

I leave you behind
to fill a part of my past
that will now, and always, belong to you.

The chains that once held me
suddenly break
releasing me from a spell
that could have been the death of me

Thankfully, I am free

With my head held high
and my heart tucked away from my sleeve,
safely stowed behind my strength,
I move forward

In search of new beginnings
and happy endings

The only things that give life meaning

I am worth it.
Life is worth it.
