🎶 “Breathing Back The Light” 🎶

Woke up with thunder behind my ribs Like the world was arguing again in my head Every thought a heavy chain I dragged Every “what if” a weight I never said I learned to smile through static noise To call it fine when it clearly wasn’t Kept running from a shadow I fed Till I forgot what stillness was meant But something cracked in the noise last night Like a window finally opening wide I’m letting go of the weight I don’t need to carry Dropping the fear like it was never mine Breathing back the part of me I buried I can feel my heart in real time No more living like I’m halfway gone No more bracing for a storm that’s wrong I’m stepping out of the static and the haze I’m alive again in a hundred small ways The sky didn’t change, but I did Same old streets, but they don’t feel like walls Even my silence feels less like a trap More like space where something soft can call I don’t have to solve everything today Don’t have to outrun my own mind Turns out the world doesn’t end When I stop treating it like a fight There’s a pulse where the panic used to live Like my body remembered how to forgive I’m letting go of the weight I don’t need to carry Dropping the fear like it was never mine Breathing back the part of me I buried I can feel my heart in real time No more living like I’m halfway gone No more bracing for a storm that’s wrong I’m stepping out of the static and the haze I’m alive again in a hundred small ways If fear comes knocking, I’ll let it pass No need to build a house out of glass I’m not the storm, I’m not the ache I’m the quiet that it can’t break I’m letting go of the weight I don’t need to carry Watching it fade like morning light Breathing back the part of me I buried And it feels like I’m learning to fly No more living like I’m halfway gone No more calling pain a place I belong I’m stepping out of the static and the haze I’m alive again in a hundred small ways And for the first time in a long time Nothing in me is asking to hide
