I've been bottled up

Year after year

I've held on close

To my deepest fears

My life was dry

I never imagined I'd

Be able to fly,

Able to make my dreams come true

But everything changed

I have a new outlook

I've suddenly blossomed

Like a princess in a book

Yet unlike a fairy tale

My life is not full of magic

But the ordinary things

No longer seem tragic

I'm finally free

I've broken the curse

Declared the victory

And claimed the gold purse

The trial is over

Though more will come,

I am ready to fight-

I've discovered the beat of my own drum.
