No one can tell me who to be
No one can say who I am
I created who you see today
I built my life with my own hands

No one can say they own me
No one can stake a claim
I refuse to act as society's slave
I will not know such shame

No one can ever hold me back
No one can quench my fire
I will simply add more fuel, you see
I will glow to my heart's desire

No one has burned more bridges than I
No one has pushed away so many
I was stupid to give them all a chance
I have made too many enemies

No one thought I could do it
No one believed it when I did
I wish to Hell they had some faith
I wish they trusted the words I said

No one tried to save me
No one saw me slip away
I lived a life of solitude
I pushed through so much pain

No one ever doubts me now
No one thinks me a weak essence
I proved every one of them wrong
I earned my independence

No one dares dictate my life
No one braves the ice cold waters
I, myself, and me stick together
I don't need any followers
