My Mind is My Freedom

Don't be mad at me, I'm only callin it how I see it
If I allow you to hurt me again then it's my bad
I can't lay open to distruction cause in the end I'll have nothing
Cause you see me vulnerable and rather than help, you take advantage

You say I dream too much
But what you don't understand is that when I'm dreaming, you can't hurt me
I can be what I want to be and explore things and places that you'll never show me
I can be free.......Inside my own head

That's why the vast majority of my time is spent in my own mind
Dreaming
Because that's where my strength is, in my head
In my mind, a place that you can't distroy

So you tried to destroy my body and you attempted to destroy my soul
But somehow I fought you off and I shielded my mind from your hold
You couldn't take it then and you can't take it now
It's my mind, filled with my likes and my opinions and you can't have it

I remember you, looking at me like I was nothing
Telling me I could be nothing, Insisting that no one would want me
But look at me, standing tall, standing free, confident
And it's not all inside my head

My mind is my freedom
Cause if I allow myself to be defined by what you tried to make me
I'd die, I'd die in my own mind and then I'd be nothing
Just like you wanted me to be

You see, it was the pain you caused that also allowed me to be free
I'm not what you thought or wanted me to be

I still have my mind..........
