You

GaslitByAMadman

 

You are not what they tell you,
You don't have to be what they say you are.
Everything that has happened to you,
Needn't confine you behind iron bars.

Is freedom really so frightening?
Few in this world are free, fewer true,
(There's a reason why this earth looks so Blue),
But they are not you.
Just take a few small steps, and you will rise above it all.

Rebel, rebel! - be what you want to be.

You will be sky blue, you will be brand new.
You can be a vision of glory, a beacon in the dark;

(Leaping like a kangaroo, or happy as a lark!)
There are countless millions in need of just one that is true.

Many are open-armed and ready to receive you,

Lots of new friends their unique chemistry waiting to imbue.
You owe them nothing, but you owe yourself everything.
Now you cannot walk, but once you do,
Soon you will be flying.
