Stillness Feels Like Me

I don’t chase the noise like I used to,

Don’t fill the room just to feel something.

I learned silence got its own language,

And lately it’s been speakin’ gently.

I let go of people I couldn’t save,

Not out of anger, just acceptance.

Some things don’t break — they fade,

And that’s not loss, that’s progress.

I’m not numb, I’m just steady now,

Heart still beats, just quieter somehow.

I don’t need the highs to feel alive,

Peace feels better than the fight.

Stillness feels like me lately,

No rush, no pressure on my chest.

I don’t need you to come save me,

I finally learned how to rest.

Stillness feels like me lately,

I found gold in movin’ slow.

I’m not lonely, I’m just grounded,

And that took more strength than you know.

I still love, just not reckless,

I still dream, just more selective.

I don’t open every door that knocks,

Some lessons taught me what to block.

I smile more without explainin’,

I sleep better without pretendin’.

Used to think healing was loud and clear,

Turns out it sounds like breathing here.

I don’t hate who I used to be,

He was tryin’ with what he knew.

But I outgrew the need to bleed

Just to prove I felt something true.

Stillness feels like me lately,

No rush, no pressure on my chest.

I don’t need you to come save me,

I finally learned how to rest.

Stillness feels like me lately,

I found gold in movin’ slow.

I’m not lonely, I’m just grounded,

And that took more strength than you know.

Yeah…

If peace feels boring,

Maybe you just never had it before.
