dont try
you cant
i wont let you

you cannot hold me back
you cannot keep me down
i will be myself
nothing more, nothing less
love me or hate me, that is all i can be
just me

yet again i go unnoticed
and underappreciated
and left high and dry
only to fall back down

it is time to set out again
hit that road
find that goal
face those fears
get dirty
make friends
make enemies
take risks
and come out on top

it will be worth it
the present cannot stop me
dont settle, dont give up hope
dont let up, dont give in
the knowledge must be applied
revelation must become action

time to find myself again
he was chased away
never again shall he be hidden or suppressed

you dont own me and you shall not control me
