(Verse 1: fast rapping)
Cracked mirror reflection, a stranger I see
Whispers in my head, "You'll never be free"
A shadow so heavy, it clings to my feet
Lost in the silence, a heart that can't beat
Small in the corner, afraid to be seen
Living a half-life, a forgotten scene
Every little stumble, a reason to hide
In the depths of my spirit, where confidence died
(Chorus: rap with subtle r&b singing)
But a crack of sunlight, a whisper of hope
A tiny seed planted, starting to elope
From the darkness that held me, the chains start to fray
There's a voice deep inside me, that's learning to say:
(Verse 2: fast rapping)
Maybe the mirror was showing a lie
Maybe the whispers just wanted me to cry
I started to listen to a different tune
One that was kinder, arriving quite soon
Each step felt like climbing a mountain so high
But with every small victory, I learned how to fly
The stumbles still happen, but now I get up
With a little more courage filling my cup
(Chorus: rap with subtle r&b singing)
And a flood of sunlight, a powerful hope
A vibrant flower blooming, starting to elope
From the darkness that held me, the chains are all gone
There's a voice loud inside me, that's singing this song:
(Bridge: r&b singing)
It wasn't a switch, it was a slow burn
A lesson in patience, a confident turn
Embracing the flaws, the quirks and the mess
Finding my power, in saying "yes"
(Chorus: rap with subtle r&b singing)
Now a brilliant sunlight, an unbreakable hope
A soaring spirit rising, no need to elope
From the past that once bound me, those shadows now fade
With a voice strong inside me, a promise I've made:
(Outro: r&b singing slowly fading)
I am worthy, I am strong, I am here
Letting my true colors finally appear
No more hiding, no more fear in my eyes
I'm stepping into my confidence, reaching for the skies.
