I tried to be quiet, I tried to stay calm,

But I learned to shout when the fire hit my heart.

Gave it all away, till I felt hollow,

Now I fill my chest with my own melody.

They said, "Stay silent," they said, "Just wait,"

But I broke the chains that held my fate.

I’m not your shadow, I’m not your mirror,

I write my story, now it’s getting clearer.

My scars are my crown, my blood is my power,

The fire shapes me, I rise by the hour.

If the world shuts me out, I’ll find a new door,

Strength in my chest, I’m ready for more.

I’m my own road, my sun, my way,

No chains to hold me, no cage today.

I’m an endless sea, a storm in flight,

And no matter what, I’ll shine so bright.

I tried to be stronger, I tried to be wise,

Learned that pain’s the magic in disguise.

Flowers in my hand grow from the thorn,

Every step I take, a new me is born.

I don’t fear the night, don’t fear the doubt,

The moon walks with me when the world fades out.

If I fall, I rise, I’ll walk again,

This is my story, won’t be erased.

My voice is my armor, my song is my fight,

Life is a battle won with light.

Time made me stronger, showed me the way,

No turning back, I’m here to stay.

I’m my own road, my sun, my way,

No chains to hold me, no cage today.

I’m an endless sea, a storm in flight,

And no matter what, I’ll shine so bright.

If the world pushes hard, I learn to fly,

If fear wraps around me, I look it in the eye.

From every fall, I write a new line,

I’m sword and poem, change is mine.

I’m my own road, my light, my flame,

Each step I take, I own my name.

I’m a fire divine, a sky untamed,

And even if they try, I won’t be chained.

I’m the root and the flight, the flower in the ground,

I break every wall, in loss I’m found.

Each step I take leads to my truth,

My voice, my victory, my proof.
