Freedom

"To thine own self be true"
That's what I must do
Even if it means losing you

I can no longer compromise
You'll see the pain in my eyes
But I cannot listen to your lies

Oh be a man brave and true
And I will ask nothing more of you
Have the strength to be one of the few

I want to give love without fear
So I can feel that God is near
Oh please won't someone hear

I ache to always be free
I want only to show the real me
To live and love and dance with glee

"This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
~ William Shakespeare
