Scars Into Stars

I stitched the silence into lullabies

Learned to breathe beneath the weight

Wore my shadows like a second skin

And called it fate

I held the tremble in my hands

Like a candle in the wind

Afraid to burn, afraid to shine

But still, I let it in

Every echo of goodbye

Painted constellations in my sky

I was shattered, but not small

I was broken... not at all

I turned my scars into stars, gave them names and let them guide me

Every hurt became a hymn, every wound rewrote my story

No, I don't hide the pain, I carry it like glory

From the ruins of who I was

I rise in light, not sorry

I kissed the ghost of who I was

And laid her gently down

She taught me how to bend, not break

To stand without a crown

The world said "strong" is silent

But I screamed in flowers and in flames

My strength was in the softness

In the tears I let remain

Not every light is loud

Not every hero wears the crowd

Some of us just bloom in scars

Turning wounds into memoirs

I turned my scars into stars, glowing quiet in the night

I am made of all the moments that I thought would end my light

But I am still here, still whole, still right

A galaxy of aching turned to flight

They said: "You'll forget"

But I remembered everything

Every goodbye

Every fall

Every flicker

And I built a universe from them all

I turned my scars into stars, you can see them when it's dark

Each one born of breaking, now a beacon, now a spark

What was once a wound is now my mark

A tapestry of night where I leave my heart

So look up when you're lost

You'll see scars turned to stars

Scars… into stars

That's how we survive

That's how we shine
