Five years old, they taught me well

To smile and never raise my voice

Good girls don't scream, good girls don't yell

Good girls are never given choice

The porcelain mask upon my face

Has cracks that no one seems to see

I learned to walk in perfect grace

While screaming silently

Good girl mask is wearing thin

The rage is burning from within

Decades spent saying yes to you

While my heart was turning blue

Tear away this frozen face

Find the fire in this space

Good girl mask falls to the ground

My true voice has found its sound

Through teenage years of bitten tongue

When boys would grab and take their share

The lessons that were never sung

Be nice or no one seems to care

In boardrooms smiling through the pain

When they spoke over every word

Good girls don't complain or gain

The right to ever being heard

Good girl mask is wearing thin

The rage is burning from within

Decades spent saying yes to you

While my heart was turning blue

Tear away this frozen face

Find the fire in this space

Good girl mask falls to the ground

My true voice has found its sound

Behind this mask there lives a witch

A woman wild and fierce and free

The good girl was just a glitch

In who I'm meant to be

Now thirty years of painted smiles

Have left me hollow, carved and worn

I walked ten thousand weary miles

To please the world since I was born

But masks are made for taking off

And I can feel my true face there

Behind the years of playing soft

There's wildness in my golden hair

Good girl mask is torn away

The fire burns brighter every day

No more bowing down to you

My authentic soul shines through

Look upon my naked face

See the power in this space

Good girl mask lies broken here

My true voice rings crystal clear

Good girl dies...

Wild woman flies...

Finally free...
