As the seasons change
I remember who I once was
A person trapped & caged
My voice lost its cause

Now I fight for who is
Rather than who was
There's nothing that I miss
Nothing there I trust

People entered my life
People are now gone
I laid down and cried
I stood up to be strong

I can almost reach out
I can almost feel my past
I dug deep down
To cut away the pain fast

I am who I am today
Not by you nor by your hand
I am articulate, I am brave
I am me, I am woman

Can't catch up to me?
Your problem not mine
By will I am free
Keep your ill faded lines

Is my style, my magic
More than you could imagine?
It lingered in the shadow
To let you carry the show

Once trapped & caged
Then I turned the page
Followed my heart, my voice
It was then I left you by choice
