Phoenix in the Rain

I walked through storms I swore I’d never survive,

Drowning in the echoes of love that didn’t thrive.

Every word I whispered, every tear I tried to hide,

Built the cage I thought was love—but it was my own pride.

And now I see the cracks where I once let him in,

I’m learning that the strongest love begins within.

Every scar, every fall, a spark that leads me in…

’Cause I’m rising from the rain—

No more shadows of his games.

I’m claiming all the fire

That he tried to put to shame.

I won’t dim my light, I won’t apologize,

I’m a phoenix in the rain,

Breaking free from someone else’s lies.

I taste the air again, unchained and unafraid,

The girl I lost in him is finally unscathed.

I laugh at the nights I thought love meant sacrifice,

I’m learning joy, I’m learning how to rise.

And every shadow fades when I step into the sun,

I’m more than the battles lost, more than what’s been done.

Every heartbeat sings the story of the one I’ve become…

’Cause I’m rising from the rain—

No more shadows of his games.

I’m claiming all the fire

That he tried to put to shame.

I won’t dim my light, I won’t apologize,

I’m a phoenix in the rain,

Breaking free from someone else’s lies.

I don’t need a crown to know my worth,

I don’t need his love to define my earth.

Every drop that fell only made me see,

The woman I am is all I need to be.

’Cause I’m rising from the rain—

Stronger than I’ve ever been.

I’m claiming all the fire,

I’m alive, I’m whole again.

I won’t dim my light, I won’t apologize,

I’m a phoenix in the rain,

Finally free from someone else’s lies.

I walked through storms, but I survived…

Now I rise, I rise alive.
