I Shed This Skin...

I shed this skin,

The one you put me in.

I shed this skin,

The one I don't fit in.

I have lived a life,

One I don't know...

A life I lost,

A life I once wanted.

I have lived a life,

For everyone else...

It's time it is my own.

I shed this skin,

To gain some light,

To feel some truth.

I shed this skin,

To feel the breeze,

To know the earth,

To touch the world.

I shed this skin,

Because I have outgrown it.

Who I was,

And who I am,

Are not the same.

I shed this skin,

Because who I will be

Is bigger than who I was.

I have shed this skin.
