Soft As Steel

Mm…

I learned how to bloom in the quiet

I used to think loud meant strong

Used to think I had to prove I belong

But I found power in the calm

In choosing peace when I’ve been wronged

Every battle left a trace

But I wear grace on my face

I don’t raise my voice to win

I let my silence sink in

I don’t need to break to be brave

I don’t need to burn to be flames

There’s a fire under my skin

That glows, not screams

I’m soft as silk, strong as steel

Every scar reminds me what’s real

I don’t fight the way they do

I rise in truth

I don’t shatter, I reveal

A heart that bends but never kneels

Gentle light, unbreakable

Soft as steel

Ooh… unbreakable

Ooh… soft as steel

I’ve cried oceans in empty rooms

Learned how to heal without a view

They only see the shine I wear

Not the weight I learned to bear

Petals bruised but still in bloom

I grew strength in the quiet gloom

If love hurts, I let it go

I won’t bleed for someone else’s throne

I don’t need to harden my heart

To keep myself from falling apart

There’s a courage in staying kind

Even when you’re tired inside

I’m soft as silk, strong as steel

Every scar reminds me what’s real

I don’t fight the way they do

I rise in truth

I don’t shatter, I reveal

A heart that bends but never kneels

Gentle light, unbreakable

Soft as steel

If I tremble, let me shake

That doesn’t mean that I’m afraid

Every tear I ever cried

Taught me how to stay alive

I don’t roar to be heard

I let my soul speak first

This is strength they’ll never steal

A heart that feels

We’re soft as silk, strong as steel

Still we heal, still we feel

We don’t harden to survive

We stay alive

If the world tries to make us cold

We choose warmth, we choose hope

Gentle light, unbreakable

Soft as steel

Soft doesn’t mean weak

It means I lived… and stayed
