I want to break free of your misery
I want to stand alone, on my own
I want to want to be nothing and everything for me
I want to find myself, beside myself

I don't need you to define me
I know just who I am
I don't need you to remind me
I remember who I am
I don't need you to realign me
I am what I am
and thats all I can be

I want to break free of your conformity
I want to stand alone, never again a clone
I want to be selfish and selfless at the same time
I want to find myself, as myself...

Amazing. I think that's how we should all be, forget the boundaries and be who we are, without shame. I really liked this. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful write!

This is just the way that I want my children to be...INDEPENDANT and sure enough of their own power to live the life that they deserve!

And of finding the self...a immortal quest to be carried out within the confines of one lifetime. What a frustrating thing.
Though, good questing.

you gotta ne who you are... too often we let people we're infulenced by totally take over, and the hardest thing is realising that you aren't yourself anymore... this was an immense subject to write on, well done!
