Metamorphosis #1WordChallenge

©2026 SonicSketch MABG gave me the word "metamorphosis" [INTRO] there was a version of me I kept on a leash fed it silence called that peace [VERSE 1] I learned to stand where I couldn’t feel made a habit out of standing still every truth had a second skin I could step in when I needed to begin again I stayed close to the safer edge half a life is a kind of hedge told myself it was discipline just a cleaner way to disappear [PRE-CHORUS] something in me went off-script like a splinter I couldn’t shift it kept pushing against the frame it didn’t agree with me being remade [CHORUS] I didn’t change— I overwrote cut the signal at the throat let it ring, let it choke I kept the parts that wouldn’t quit threw the rest into the pit no clean cut, no sudden switch just a body learning it's gifts and it sticks yeah it sticks like a label I couldn’t ditch I became not pretty I became not clean I became the thing that stayed when I ran out of ways to leave [VERSE 2] I kept score in the smallest ways quiet debts I refused to face every “fine” was a paper wall every night I could hear it fall there was something that wouldn’t die even buried, it kept its eye watched me bend just to make it through watched me shrink to avoid the truth [BRIDGE] I took myself apart slow not reborn, just exposed bone every layer I tried to save turned to weight I could not carry no divine hand no sudden shift just a body that wouldn’t quit every breath like a rusted hinge every step like a break-in breach [BREAK] I thought it would feel like relief it felt like losing every excuse I used to keep [FINAL CHORUS] I didn’t change— I overwrote wrote—wrote—wrote cut the signal at the throat let it ring until it broke I kept the parts that wouldn’t quit dragged them out of where I hid no clean cut no clean cut, no sudden switch just a body learning its gifts (and it sticks yeah it sticks) every scar a fingerprint I became I became not pretty I became not clean I became the thing that stayed I became the thing that stayed when I burned through how to leave I became I became not bett
