I cut my hair when no one watched Took the long way home, let silence talk Left my old keys in a coffee jar And drove ‘til I forgot who we were No road signs for what comes next Just the hum of breath and stubborn steps But I grew back wild In the cracks he left Found sun in places He never guessed No need for maps When I’ve got light I’m not who I was I’m not asking twice I grew back— Wild and right I kissed the lake with both my feet Let cold remind me: I still feel Traced the edges of my name Where no one else could make a claim It’s not revenge, it’s not a war It’s just not his life anymore ‘Cause I grew back wild In the spaces bare Built a garden He wouldn’t dare No more fixing What wasn’t mine I’m not who I was And I like this spine I grew back— Wild and fine I trust the wind now more than vows I don’t need proof, I live it loud One slow morning at a time I take myself back, line by line I grew back wild And it wasn’t clean But I made beauty From the in-between No more shrinking To feel seen I’m not who I was— I’m finally me
