it has no power

too long i've let it have power

let it run my life

let it run me over

let it drive me to wit's end

let it ruin my days

but no longer

too long have i looked at others

and felt a pain

like i have to be

everything at they are

that i have to be

everything that everyone loves

but no longer

too long have i felt bad

and wished i were them

and wished that those people

had me up there

on that inspired pedestal

but no longer

i'm free

i don't have to be

anything that they are

people care

people make me smile

people make me life

leave me notes

say kind words

they don't care

so why should i?

i'm no one else

i'm just myself

and guess what?

that's the best person to be

that jealousy

it has no power

no longer

Dedicated to God, who helped me

And my friends, who helped me, too
