** Today I Learn**

Today I learn to live alone.

To make a path thats all my own.

No longer treading on familiar ground,
My voice, my place crying out to be found.

No more crutches, handouts turned away.

Its time to fall on my face...

My way....

Preparing for pain..

...regret...

...success...

Time to make myself a woman..
...More or Less...

So tired of hiding behind your shadow.

I want to test MY limits.
See how far I can go.

Yeah, it'll hurt, its supposed to...

...Ill be okay...

Ill win....

Ill lose....

..Ill live to see another day...

So let me go
I know Im ready.

I wanna face the world.
Make my own feet steady.
