Where is life without the pain 

where is life without the shame 

where can i hide 

to be safe 

away from the world 

and all it's hate 

why can't they see me 

for myself 

instead i must be 

what they want for their self 

I must lie in wait a while 

before the sun may see me smile 

I must learn to walk their walk 

in order to run from their talk 

my life i see is not my own 

though they know not what deeds are done 

in my mind i am free 

to be whatever i want to be 

i can see to worlds beyond 

and live the life of one unbound 

be what you like 

don't let them say 

that you must be this way 

be free 

be you 

and you'll see 

how easy it will to let me 

be me
