He found me in a cage
One of my own making
I locked myself, my true self away
Years and years ago
Who knew he would hold the key
He opened the door of my cage
And reached in to take my hand
He helped me stand on my own 2 feet
And for the first time in a long time
I saw there was light beyond my door
He knew what I needed
Even before I did
And he never hesitated to give it to me
Painful truths and long hidden desires
Were brought to the surface.
He encouraged
He demanded
He persisted
He pulled back
He pushed forward
He made me think about things long hidden
The girl I used to be
The woman I wanted to be
He told me I just needed to be brave
He said he would help me
So I trusted him with my heart
My body, my soul
I told him my secrets
I gave him control
And prayed he was true
