I’ve always wanted to break free
This moment is what I’ve lived for
I am ready to create the new me
Don’t want to do what’s expected anymore
🦋
I fled from all I knew
Became torn down and broken
Eventually I changed and grew
Inside me new life was awoken
🦋
My evolution is complete
I am ready to make my debut
I am done with all the deceit
Ready to start my life anew
🦋
Those I knew will be angry
Their way of life upset
They all thought they knew me
But I no longer exist for their benefit
🦋
