slowly, but surely
i let go of another layer
another old self
i no longer need
it’s burning, it’s melting
those old ways
of thoughts that tortured
and crippled me for so long
i step outside in the morning
i look up at the sun
i can feel those flowers growing
a new summer always comes
i step outside of myself
to see what it really means
what it means to be free
what it means to see
the layers come off
but new ones come on
and the battle, the journey
of life
goes on
i feel alive in this moment
grateful for all my past
my mistakes, my fears, my sorrows
they all made me who i am
the sky holds me in her arms
the birds sing it in their songs
the locks open chains come off
always knew i was born to run
the layers come off
but new ones come on
and the battle, the journey
of life
goes on
