you restricted me for so long.
you kept me from voicing the screaming in my head.
you broke me of good habits.
you put out the fire in my heart.
you caged the lion...
its time that i break free.
the story of my life is to follow that which is no good for me. why? when i am happier around those that make me laugh, those that make me smile, and those who let me be whoever the fuck i want to be. so, why? why submit myself to self-inflicted torture? i say self-inflicted because i place myself directly in the fire willingly. well... perhaps for these past couple of years i believed that i needed to be punished for what i hated myself for.
perhaps i didn't believe i deserved to be happy. to be content with who i am, and not apologize for everything.
now i do.
those around me that love me have tried to convince me time and time again that i have plenty to offer the willing person. the kind person. the good person; not the hateful people out there. and i think it's about damn time that i listened...
it's time to break free out of this cage that you have put me in.
it's time to breath.
