Not Made For This Room #️⃣

💙 Among women with fire I don’t shrink, I rise We talk about futures that don’t ask for permission or size No one flinches at dreaming No one softens my tone I see myself reflected in eyes that already know Here I’m not “too much” I’m just real Here ambition is something you feel But at home I’m a problem I’m loud, I’m wrong A disruption to their carefully quiet song For power women I’m a mirror For the rest I’m a threat I’m not a failure I’m just not made for this set They say “be realistic” but they mean “stay small” They call it humility but it’s fear in a softer drawl I don’t fit in rooms where dreams make people tense Where happiness whispers so no one feels left behind or less I won’t explain myself I won’t dim my light I’m not broken I’m just out of alignment tonight ‘Cause with power women I’m grounded, I’m home And with the adjusted I’m a crack in the stone For some I’m inspiration For others, I’m blame I’m not a failure I’m just playing a different game Maybe I was never wrong Just in the wrong room Maybe I was never too loud They were just afraid of the boom I stay with the women who grow, not comply Who don’t apologize for the space they occupy If I’m a disturbance here I’ll take it as proof I’m not lost I’m free and I choose Not every place is a home Some call you a problem because they can’t hold your expansion
