You'll no longer be my shadow,
In a world I thought was my own.
Blinded by my thoughts of living,
Not knowing what's real or a show.
Growing further from you mind,
Creating a new world in my life.
Falling in holes along the way,
But I can clean up after my mistakes.

I'm going to try and leave this behind,
And start off where I should have before.
Deep in my mind I know I can find,
The person I should have become.
I hope that out there someone will care.
I know that this is the real me,
And not something that you thought I should be.
I'm not some doll you want or need.
All I just want is to be free.
