Slow Boom

[Verse 1]
I been stretchin’ thin in silence
Talkin’ to the ceiling, tryna find where my mind went
Incense lit, but the burn feels endless
I water myself but still question the essence

Got my phone face down,
Notifications drown
In a sea of “shoulda saids”
and “what if I’d stayed around”
But peace don’t rush, it hums real low
Grows in cracks that no one shows

[Pre-Chorus]
These days I drift like smoke,
Tied to nothin’, but I hope
That somewhere in the chaos,
I’m becoming someone whole

[Chorus]
I just need a slow bloom,
No pressure, no rules
Let the petals fall where they choose
If healing takes a season or two
I’ll wait on my own good days
They’re comin’ in their own damn way
Like sun through a dirty pane—
Soft, but still changin’ everything

[Verse 2]
Woke up with a dream I lost
Tried to write it down but it slipped off
Like love I thought I had a grip on
Turns out it just needed a different song

I forgive the version of me
That loved too loud, that begged, that bled
She meant well, she tried hard
Now she’s somewhere restin’ her head

[Pre-Chorus]
So I won’t rush this bloom,
Won’t shame these roots
Even weeds got a story
Growin’ wild, growin’ true

[Chorus]
I just need a slow bloom,
No pressure, no rules
Let the petals fall where they choose
If healing takes a season or two
I’ll wait on my own good days
They’re comin’ in their own damn way
Like sun through a dirty pane—
Soft, but still changin’ everything

[Bridge]
Every bruise is a map,
Every tear a little bath
For the soul that’s still stretchin’
But not breakin’ in half

[Outro]
I got time, I got air,
I got dreams I still wear
Like perfume in my hair
I swear I’m getting there…

On my slow bloom
