Change is scary

growth leaves scars

but stuck’s a prison

with open bars

Smile wide

while the inside fades

choking on dreams

that you mislaid

You paint over cracks

but the truth seeps through

can't fake safe

when it's killing you

It's not just fear

it’s soul on pause

you forget your name

just to please their cause

Change is scary

and growth is pain

but stuck’s a fire

that burns slow flame

Wore your silence

like it fit

till it strangled

every bit

Stepped out

let the pieces fall

better broken

than nothing at all

I’ve outgrown hands

that pulled me thin

boxed me quiet

kept me in

This isn’t brave

it’s raw and real

choosing weight

that lets me heal

I walk the edge

without regret

better unknown

than deep in debt

To a past

that never saw me clear

to a life

I wasn't meant to steer

Change is scary

but this is mine

I'd rather be lost

than live a lie
