I choose myself today

Verse 1

Woke up with the weight gone from my chest,

No more running, I’m not in a test.

Every scar led me right to this place,

I stopped chasing love, I became my safe space.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need the noise to tell me I’m real,

I trust the quiet, I trust what I feel.

Chorus

I choose myself today, no shame, no fear,

No shrinking just to keep people near.

If I broke, it was part of the way,

I didn’t lose myself, I learned to stay.

I don’t beg for signs anymore,

I am the answer I was waiting for.

Verse 2

Not everything sweet wants me to grow,

Some hands hold tight just to keep control.

I learned my “no” is a sacred sound,

If you drain my light, you don’t get around.

Pre-Chorus

I stopped explaining my truth to doubt,

What’s meant for me won’t need me to shout.

Chorus

I choose myself today, eyes wide open,

Heart still soft but no longer broken.

If they don’t get it, that’s okay,

I didn’t come to fit, I came to stay.

I don’t wait for the world to agree,

I stand in my truth and I let it be.

Bridge

Silence talks when lies fall apart,

I follow the rhythm beating in my heart.

No crown, no throne, still I rise,

I remember who I am when I close my eyes.

Outro

I breathe.

I trust.

I don’t rush.

I am enough.

Today, always…

I choose myself.
