Becoming free

Verse 1

I was just a boy with a storm deep inside

Walking through a world that taught me to hide

Told to be silent, told to be still

But something in me fought against their will


I wore the smile, I played the game

But pieces of me never felt the same

Behind the mask, a voice would plead

To break the cage and finally breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

Was I too much, or not enough?

Just trying to love in a world too rough

Each scar a map, each tear a key

To who I was supposed to be

[Chorus]

Now I’m becoming, unbecoming

All the lies they wrote in me

Breaking mirrors, burning silence

Till I feel what’s truly free

No more masks and no more chains

Letting go of who I was

I’m not a version they can see

This is the truth… of becoming me

[Verse 2]

I gave my all to hearts that took

Left me hollow, left me shook

But even pain has its grace

It carved a space I had to face


Now I stand and now I choose

The soft, the strong, the past I lose

I won’t fit small to calm their storm

I was meant to break the norm

[Bridge – crescendo]

No more shrinking, no more shame

I walk through fire and still remain

A softer edge, a bolder flame

A name reborn, not just reclaimed


I fall, I rise, I bleed, I see

But now I hold what’s real in me

Not perfect—only finally free

[Final Chorus – fortissimo, orchestral envolée]

Now I’m becoming, unbecoming

All the stories that I made up

Taking back what they erased

Living loud in what is true

From shattered glass to clarity

I was always meant to be

More than pain, more than plea

Just becoming me, becoming me

[Outro – slow, intimate]

So if they ask who I became

I’ll smile and whisper through the flame

I’m not perfect, but I’m free

Just becoming me, becoming me
