I pick a part myself

Peeling away layer after layer

Of old dead skin,

Eventually every cell in my body will be brand new,

Like a phoenix rising again

Or the undead reborn.

Every part of me aching for this transformation

For this surge of newness

New me. New self. New IDENTITY!

I define me. I control me.

I am myself, I am not something for you to understand or digest,

I am not something for you to study

And dissect

No that is not how you know me.

The new me has boundaries,

Is not afraid to be afraid,

Not concerned with your expectations,

Of what you think I should Be. Do. Look like.

The new me

Types on the keys likes she’s playing a drum,

Is ready to say every word she hits

Like it is a song.

And oh, my time has come to be unapologetically me

And if you try to contain me I will just burst free.

For my life is not for anyother but myself.

My heart is an open door because walls

Are what cause war

And love is what resolves it.

I am not living my life afraid of someone leaving

Because no ever stayed in front of a locked door anyways.

So if you want to come and join me,

You don’t need to stand by my side,

Or even know me.

Just let yourself evolve.

For we are our own greatest heroes

And that's the way it should be.

So come on evolve with me

And let us all learn how to set ourselves free.
