I spent too long trying to name who I became Tracing choices I never claimed Learning truth in the quiet moments Where I stood with my thoughts untamed I held pieces I didn’t need Unsure what part of me to free “I’m not scared,” was the line I used Hoping one day it sounded true Every road that I walked in silence Pulled the doubt from an older view Even now I can feel the weight But I’m learning how to navigate If I falter, I’ll rise again Even knowing the cost is real I keep moving where I begin With a heart that remembers to feel If I climb or if I fall Either way, the path is mine No one else will shape this rise I seen the past, it’s crystal clear, I’ve found at last, someone so dear, Tell me now, if pain is gone, Why am I still holding on “I’m not scared” is the vow I hold Not a cover for truths untold I repeat it to feel my strength To remain Fully whole Again.. I’ve outgrown who I used to be And the versions that blurred my clarity Now I stand with a steadier will Shaped by moments that altered me Every loss found a place to stay Every bruise taught a different way Every hurt redefined my stance Now I Feel awake.. I won’t turn from myself again I won’t bend just to feel approved The parts of me I tried to bury Are the ones that have seen me through I am Still here “I’m not scared,” let it rise again Not a promise but what remains If I climb or if I fall Either way, the path is mine No one else will shape this rise
