Couldn’t stay here
In this place
Living in a house made of
Other people’s expectations
Started to stifle me, strangle me
In time it would have silenced me
Felt like I was losing me
Had to set myself free
Stopped marching to the beat of another’s drum
Making my own sound now
Found my voice
Feels so good to be free
From the urge to fit in
No longer stuck in mediocrity
Waiting for the world to get the epiphany
Of the greatness in me
I am great – make no mistake about it
Although it took a time for me to see
Cause the loudness of average was blinding me - binding me
Shook myself loose from the chains
I’m crying loud my voice will be heard
Different isn’t always easy
But it’s always necessary
