I’m Good Either Way

I'm hot
My chest is tight
Stifling feeling
I'm drowning 
Under the oppression 
I'm a misunderstood 
Misfit

Luckily 
I know how to swim
I learned that at a young age
I was at my nan's house
It was summer 
I remember lying on a grass 
I was looking for 
four leaved clovers 
I had a sense of
Peace, expansion
And freedom 
Thus never left me

I can go to that place 
Anytime I want
I just close my eyes

I'm glad to have 
been there because 
Since then life has 
Spun me around 
A thousand miles 
Per hour

I know who I am
And I'm good 
Either way

No one 
Has the power 
To control me
And I will never
Exchange my values 
For being liked

I know who I am
And I'm good 
Either way
