You found me under ground

Hating everyone and feeling oh so alone

You found me and told me you were the way

And I believed everything you said



You gave me wings and taught me to fly

You told me that I was now free

And I believed everything you said

Flying, flying, flying

Oh how it felt when I was flying

Like I was floating above the clouds

Nothing seemed to bother me



Then you flew away

You saw another flyer prettier than I and left

But before you left.

You tore off my wings and left me to die

I started falling, bleeding, dying

And when I hit the ground

It destroyed me, and broke my soul



I laid there wishing that death would find me

He was late though and that is what saved me

He couldn’t tell I was ready to die

Or maybe he just decided that I had more time



Then they found me in a lump

Some strange creatures that I cannot explain

They talked of things I have never heard of

I could barely understand their weird language



They taught me about the world

They told me about life and how it really is

They built me back up

After I have been tore down so far

I found out that you were not the way

That you have lied to me to keep me with you

To keep me dependent on you



Now look at me

I am a queen

You used to call me your princess

But everything has changed now

I am the queen of my own world

I do not need anyone to rule with me



I am no longer flying

I have scars where you tore my wings off

But I now walk on land with others

I am not alone

And I am happier than I was when I flew

When I always fought and then begged

How you would fly away to find your peace of mind

Then come back

Forget that

I'm free



I now understand how hard you tried to mess me up

I understand that I don’t need you

That I am happier and braver on my own

I am more free than you even let me be
More free than you ever wanted me to be
