~~Recovered~~

Recovery

From the worst agony

But I’m stronger now

And no matter how

I’m getting what I want

I’m done being what others want

I am who I am

And if who I am is a sham

Then who cares?

Nobody ever dares

To wrench off the mask

Pour my lifeblood from its silver flask

Because within my laughter

Lurks a girl broken after

Something that had saved her: Love

There’s nothing but false gods above

For the girl I am is an angel

But I’ve been through hell

So now I’m being

What I couldn’t be before: Anything

That I want to be

I had to do what they expected of me

But no more

Because never before

Have I felt so free

Will any of you follow me?

I’m never going to be

The angel you expect me to be

But hold on, it’ll be a wild ride

With every secret blasted open wide

Can you trust me? No

But now I know

That I could never trust you

Turnabout is fair play; you

Broke me so many times

Dragged me through many difficult climbs

Only to drop me down again

Truth was I never knew when

I’d fall within the blue

But now I know it was always because of you

So now I’m done

This battle’s won

I’ve recovered, changed

My heart and soul rearranged

And now I know the importance of faking it

Until you make it.
