I was trapped betwixt
Who they thought, I should be
And what I wanted to be
Languishing under her gaze
I strove to be better
I tried to become more
And always found a wall
Her offhand comments
And judgmental words
Held me back, kept me down
Until I truly believed
That I was all could be.
And then I met you
You saw the man
I kept hidden way
You saw the truth
Within the lies I made
with encouraging words
And a quiet strength.
You opened me up
To who I wanted to be
Let me spread my wings
Until I could soar.
