"Scars That Shine"

Lookin’ in the mirror, I don’t see the same,

voices from the past still whisper my name.

Walkin’ all alone, carryin’ the pain,

of all the times I hid what I felt in vain.

Too many roads, too many tests,

people smile but they hope for your mess.

I’ve learned that love hurts, that’s the process,

and faith’s the only light when there’s nothin’ left.

Still I move, no one showin’ me the way,

cried enough, now I breathe through the gray.

The world spins, but I won’t replay,

the moments I lost tryin’ to find my place.

If I fall, I’ll rise again,

wearin’ my scars like gold on my skin.

Don’t need to prove what I’ve been,

what I lost built the strength within.

And if one day I don’t make it home,

remember fire is born from stone.

My pain became a sacred tone,

and my silence — it made me grown.

I ain’t holy, but I ain’t the villain,

every wound I got turned into vision.

Friends fade, lessons stay chillin’,

heart became a war with no permission.

I tried to run from what I feel,

but the mirror don’t lie — the pain is real.

So I write what the soul reveals,

'cause to live is to bleed, and that’s how we heal.

If I fall, I’ll rise again,

wearin’ my scars like gold on my skin.

Don’t need to prove what I’ve been,

what I lost built the strength within.

And if one day I don’t make it home,

remember fire is born from stone.

My pain became a sacred tone,

and my silence — it made me grown.

Yeah... between the loss and the rebirth,

I found out pain still writes the verse.

Not every tear means I’m cursed,

sometimes the hurt’s what makes it worth.
