Permission
Don't wanna keep asking to be free,
I have the keys with me now.
To keep looking for a yes, I have no need.
The affirmations already in me are my only vow.
I'll dance, I'll dance,
I'll sing and twirl.
It's my chance, with this dance,
To let these fears unfurl.
I breathe in the sweet air.
It fills and clears my lungs.
I don't have time to find despair,
My life has finally begun.
Music flow from my lips again,
And my fingers spin precious gold,
I'm seeing who I am again,
And damn, I'm so beautiful.
I don't need your permission.
Not hers. Not his. Not theirs.
God's already given me a mission.
And that, I will give it much care.
