I don’t need a savior or a hand to hold I’ve carried fire through the freezing cold Every scar I wear, I earned with pride I’m still standing with my heart open wide I don’t wait for someone’s grace Or chase a dream I have to chase The truth I’ve found is hard and raw But it’s mine, and I want more Right here, right now, I take back all of me No shame, no mask, just wild authenticity I hold this moment like it’s all I’ve got I’m not who I was—and I miss her not Right here, right now—I rise and I believe The best of me is just learning to breathe I don’t beg the past to let me in Or ask old ghosts where I’ve been I walk through echoes, calm and brave Digging freedom from the pain I gave I’m not waiting to be saved I’ve learned to love the mess I’ve made Each broken piece has made me whole And I’ve grown stronger from the toll Right here, right now, I take back all of me No shame, no mask, just wild authenticity I hold this moment like it’s all I’ve got I’m not who I was—and I miss her not Right here, right now—I rise and I believe The best of me is just learning to breathe Maybe one day I’ll dance in light Without the weight of every fight But even if I never do I’m still becoming something true Right here, right now, I take back all of me Not waiting for permission just to be I’m loud, I’m soft, I’m brave, I’m scarred And every step has brought me far Right here, right now—I’m done with needing proof This version of me is the goddamn truth
