Sing

As a child, I had many dreams
I could fully soar, limitations weren't a thing
I was friends with all, I felt loved and seen
Singing joyful songs, dancing happily 

Then I suddenly grew, and I forgot to see
Many serious talks, feeling so grumpy
Smiles were gone, due to labels and tiers
There were no more hugs, when there's a screen
Platforms took control, toyed with my beliefs
Uncensored my voice, as long as I didn't sing

Then I slowly woke, questioned everything 
Taking another road, so that I may be truly free
Connecting the dots, and from that trap I fleed
I reclaim my soul, and even my dreams
 I am now so strong, feeling my own being
Controlling the thoughts, observing from within
Had to break the mold, so that I can breathe
Now I sing bright songs, counting on my wings.
