Dear Me

Verse 1)
Dear me, I hope you hear this softly,
Like a warm wind on your skin.
You walked through months of quiet hurting,
Carrying battles deep within.
Last year felt heavy like a mountain,
Every step was filled with doubt.
But you kept going, even shaking —
You found a way to climb back out.

(Pre-Chorus)
You didn’t see it at the time,
But every day you fought to live.
And now I write these words to you,
For all the strength you didn’t know you had to give.

(Chorus)
I’m proud of me —
For standing when the world felt dark.
For holding on
To one last tiny, fading spark.
I’m proud of me —
For facing nights I thought would never end.
I made it through,
And now I call myself my friend.

(Verse 2)
Dear me, I know you questioned everything,
Wondered if you’d ever heal.
Fear and hopelessness were shadows
Trying hard to steal your will.
But still you rose, though no one saw you,
Still you fought the silent fight.
You earned your peace through all the chaos —
You brought yourself back into light.

(Pre-Chorus)
You didn’t quit when it was hardest,
You didn’t run when you were scared.
And now these words are here to tell you
That every tear was proof you cared.

(Chorus)
I’m proud of me —
For standing when the world felt dark.
For holding on
To one last tiny, fading spark.
I’m proud of me —
For facing nights I thought would never end.
I made it through,
And now I call myself my friend.

(Bridge)
Dear me, let this letter be a reminder:
You’re stronger than the pain you knew.
You survived a year that tried to break you —
But it didn’t.
You broke through.

(Final Chorus)
I’m proud of me —
For everything I had to face alone.
For finding hope
Inside a heart of tired stone.
I’m proud of me —
For choosing life when it felt far away.
I made it here,
And brighter things will find their way.

(Outro)
Dear me,
I’m proud of you —
And I’ll keep saying it
Until you believe it too.
