Heavy truth

I’m tired of the lies I wore like skin

Smiling outside while the storm wore thin

Every room had a shadow with my name

Every “be strong” just fed the flame

Family hands left bruises I can’t hide

Trust got buried where the truth still cried

I learned too young how to swallow pain

And walk through ash like it was rain

I’m done with the mask, I’m done with the act

Done carrying weight that can’t be packed

You broke the mirror, I still see me

Not what you did, but what I’ll be

I was hurt, but I’m still here

Voice in the dark turning loud and clear

I won’t be quiet, I won’t cave in

This is my body, this is my skin

There are nights I shake in a house too still

Memory cuts deep, and it always will

But I won’t let your damage write my song

Won’t let your darkness tell me I’m wrong

I named the wound, now I name the fight

Step by step, I’m clawing toward light

For every child who was told to freeze

For every soul that was taught to please

I carry truth like a blade of gold

Sharp enough now to make me whole

I’m done with the mask, I’m done with the act

Done carrying weight that can’t be packed

You broke the mirror, I still see me

Not what you did, but what I’ll be

I was hurt, but I’m still here

Voice in the dark turning loud and clear

I won’t be quiet, I won’t cave in

This is my body, this is my skinSay my pain out loud, let it echo back

I survived the night, I’m taking my track

No more silence, no more shame

I rise from the wreckage with my own name
