You've recently been carrying a weight that never belonged to you, Just trying to keep the peace So you weren't made to feel guilty You learned to quiet your own thoughts, your own needs, to stop her twisting your words into something she could use But now you’re seeing everything clearly the pressure, the guilt, the way she tried to shape your choices Youve realised that real care never demands, That you silence yourself just to keep the peace And you should hear this, you were brave when you stood up and decided you weren't takin it anymore, fearless when you chose honesty over her control She should have protected you But chose peace instead of care your truth is real, Your voice, your life, your future, they’re now finally yours to claim Now you're standing taller than you probably thought you ever could, Taking back the pieces She tried to destroy for good. Your learning that courage starts the moment you stop apologising For speaking the truth and for wanting your own life to mean something And every word you speak now proves how much power was always in your hands You realised you never needed permission to be heard, to be valued, to simply be yourself And you should hear this, you were brave when you stood up and decided you weren't takin it anymore, fearless when you chose honesty over her control She should have protected you But chose peace instead of care your truth is real, Your voice, your life, your future, they’re now finally yours to claim She called it care but it was pressure She called it love but it was fear You broke the pattern and you’re still standing here, stronger than ever Courageous and brave No longer controlled, told and expected how to behave And you should hear this, you were brave when you stood up and decided you weren't takin it anymore, fearless when you chose honesty over her control She should have protected you But chose peace instead of care your truth is real, Your voice, your life, your future, they’re now finally yours to claim Nobody gets to rewrite your story, You've found your voice, You have earnt the strength you now carry You'll always be supported and loved Now go claim your life and your future You were brave when you stood up
