So now in a situation
where I might feel fear,

I can handle it better

because I'm not this cowering
little girl in the corner.

I got my sword. I got my shield.

And then I tell myself,

"Marlene, this happened in the past.

There's no reason for
you to feel this way."

And now with those coping skills,

I can better now maneuver
different situations

that are gonna continue
to come up in my life

because that is life.

So I busted down the walls on my box

and I stepped out of it.

And now I'm free to live and be who I am.
