standing in the shadow of your ever-present physique
sinking under the weight of the title given to me
wondering if I ever will be free from this decree
I continue to stand in your shadow...
but I won't stay there forever
I just have to be me,
so I chip away at the cement cage
that has me trapped...
almost free...
glimmers of sunlight start to hit my flesh
and gives me the will to break out of this hold
No longer will I allow your words to dictate the movement of my feet
nor will I allow your eyes to correct my heart beat
I will dance to the music of the breeze
and love like the waves that crash onto the beach
each of my tears will be guided by the rain
and the thoughts in my mind will grab hold of you
like quicksand
and cover you from head to toe until you realize that I am my OWN Woman
No longer in your shadow, No longer just that girl...
No... I am THE GIRL, better yet, THE WOMAN...
I Am.... Free
