You're not my happiness

I may have rolled, kicked and yelled
just to find a higher perch
closer to the blue sky.
I’ve clawed, hoped and sung,
from daybreak to dusk begun
just don’t mistake...

My fight for brightness
freedom and the right to be
you’re not my happiness
it’s not your responsibility see?

I may have cried, faded and hushed
because the waves seemed so high
pulling me under tight.
I’ve struggled, bucked and danced
But not one to be silenced
Just don’t mistake...

My fight for brightness
Freedom and the right to be
You’re not my happiness
It’s not your responsibility see?

It may be dark and sometimes tight
You’ve been my shoulder light
burning your torch so bright
illuminating my sight
igniting all of my might
Just don’t mistake...

My fight for brightness
Freedom and the right to be
You’re not my happiness
It’s not your responsibility see?
I’m here because I want to be
Not because you make me feel
...Free...
when you’re with me.
