The Way I Love Me

I wake up slow, no rush to prove

Drink my coffee like it's something new

I write my dreams down on the wall

And speak to myself like I have it all

I walk away when love feels small

And stay when silence says it all

I used to run on empty, chasing praise

But now I give myself the better days

Light a candle when my soul feels blue

Turn the volume up and dance in my room

That's the way I love me

Like flowers need the sun

Like rivers know to run

I show up when it's not easy

Speak kind when I fall

Answer my own call

I set the boundaries, heal what you don't see

That's the way

That's the way I love me

I wear what makes me feel like gold

Not what the world says I should hold

I laugh too loud, cry when I need

And choose the kind of peace that sets me free

I cancel plans when I need rest

Say"no" and never second guess

I whisper grace when I feel low

I give myself the space to grow

Turn off the noise, breathe in the light

Sing my own name like a battle cry

That's the way I love me

Like thunder owns the sky

Like stars don't have to try

I stay when it gets heavy

I cheer when I rise

I see through my own eyes

I hold my heart when no one else can see

That's the way

That's the way I love me

That's the way I love me

I don't need roses to know I'm rare

Don't need a hero, I'm already there

I made a home in my own arms

Found beauty in every scar

That's the way I love me

No shame, no disguise

Just truth and quiet pride

I lift myself like oceans do the tide

I'm whole, I'm wide, I'm wild inside

This is real, this is free

That's the way I

That's the way I love me

That's the way I love me

Every step, every breath

I love me like no one else can
