i have always been
a product of my own self destruction
my heart sinking deeper and deeper
down the darkest path
every time i try to speak

i am now free
i have found my voice
i am no longer caged by my own limitations
i have set myself free
by letting go
of my insecurities

i can soar on my own
without the help of others
i can fly freely
without the fear of
being put back
in that cage i once built for myself
