Worthless (Calling out Fear)

Yeah…

You been loud

But you ain’t been right

I been listenin’ to you like you pay my rent

Like every thought you give is heaven-sent

You told me I was weak, said I peaked too soon

Said I’d mess it up like I always do

You love showin’ up when I’m tired and broke

When my head feels heavy and my faith feels low

You whisper like you know me, like you been inside

But all you ever did was twist the knife

You call it “truth,” I call it lies

You talk real loud for somethin’ that survives

On doubt and panic, guilt and shame

Funny thing is—you need my pain

So let me say it clear, let me say it slow

You ain’t powerful, you just talk the most

You’re worthless, you don’t own my name

I’m not the problem — you’re the blame

I’m stronger than the voice you use

I don’t lose sleep, you do

You fed off me, now you’re through

Fear, I don’t belong to you

You told me “quit,” you told me “run”

Said I wasn’t built to become someone

Said love would leave, said faith was fake

Said every step I took was a mistake

But I checked the facts, I checked my life

Still breathin’, still here, still fightin’

Funny how you vanish when I stand up straight

You only win when I hesitate

So let me say it clear, let me say it loud

You ain’t a king, you a shaken crown

You’re worthless, I don’t carry you

I see through everything you do

You prey on wounds, I heal instead

You live in “what ifs,” I live ahead

You had your season, that was cute

Fear, I don’t belong to you

You ain’t intuition, you insecurity

You ain’t protection, you a prison key

You ain’t God, you ain’t fate

You just noise I tolerated

Too long, too deep, too patient

I fed you once — that was my mistake

You said I’d fall

I stood

You said I’d quit

I could

You said I’d lose

I’m here

Funny how quiet it gets when I don’t fear

You’re worthless, you don’t run my life

I’m done tradin’ peace for your advice

I’m better than the hell you sell

I don’t need you to protect myself

I choose hope, I choose growth

I choose faith even when it’s slow

You knock, but I don’t let you through

Fear — I win, not you

You can watch

From the back seat

But you don’t drive

Not anymore.
