Learning to Love Me

Whispered apologies in the dark

Trying to find my way back to the start

I'm carrying shadows of what used to be

Echoes of promises that hid behind the knees

Time slipped like sand through my trembling hands

Learning the hard way where I understand

Every word I've held inside, now I finally see

Breaking free from the chains, finally me

Sorry for the tears, sorry for the pain

But I’m finally breaking free from the rain

Sorry I stayed, sorry I didn’t see

The worth in me, the worth in me

Let these words be my release, my plea

A song for the soul that’s learning to be free

Writing my truth, singing my heart

A brand new start, a brand new start

I’m sorry, but I’m moving on

Finding my worth where I belong

This is my song, my voice, my cry

Learning to love me, and not just survive
