[Verse]
Mirror cracked, reflection’s a ghost in the frame,
Pieces on the floor, can't rebuild the same.
Stitching up my heart with a needle and thread,
Every scar's a map of the battles I've bled.
[Chorus]
I am who I am, no apology given,
Clawed out the grave, found my reason for livin'.
Broken but breathing, shadows can't confine,
This fight’s mine, I'm the author of my storyline.
[Verse 2]
Came face to face with the edge of the night,
Whispers in my head tried to snuff out the light.
But I rose, phoenix wings burnt from the ash,
Pain’s my armor now, turned wounds into cash.
[Bridge]
Storms in my mind, thunder rattles my chest,
But the rain cleansed the hurt, put my soul to the test.
They see a fighter, but don't know the cost,
Every win's a reminder of the wars I've lost.
[Chorus]
I am who I am, no apology given,
Clawed out the grave, found my reason for livin'.
Broken but breathing, shadows can't confine,
This fight’s mine, I'm the author of my storyline.
[Verse 3]
Not asking for pity, I’m stronger than steel,
The pain made me human, the tears made it real.
Shackles of the past couldn't chain me for long,
Survivor's anthem, every word in this song.
