Am tired of dancing to the tune of another
Tired of singing somebody else’s song
Wondering why I should even bother
Could have done it myself all along
Am tired of following somebody else’s light
Tired of swimming with the flow
Wondering if it was ever right
To go where they wanted me to go
Am tired of following the beaten path
Tired of all the stupid rules
Wondering if I should cry or laugh
About how long I endured these fools
Now at last my time has come
To forge my way with open eyes
I am not blind anymore, nor dumb
Am done accepting all these lies
The only tune I follow now
Is beautifully written only by me
And when I’m done I take a bow
Filled with happiness and glee
