People say nothing is quite the same,
So,do not be held down by doubt and shame.
There is nothing left to fear.
Do not listen to what you hear.
Just decide to make a change.
Not influenced by the deranged,
Who fight to rearrange
Your future in exchange.
So, figure out who you will be
It is time to be set free.
Let no one claim to be
Your teacher who always holds the key.
It is time to think things through,
form an image that is true.
Learn from past mistakes,
lessons you will not retake.
There is nothing that is too hard,
your turning things around.
And in your trials there is relief
In what you have achieved.
