Being Me

I used to dim my light just to make you stay

Painted smiles on skies that were turning gray

Lost in your shadow, forgot my own flame

But now I remember—I'm not meant for shame

If I can't breathe easy when you're near

Then maybe your love was built on fear

I don't need to shrink to fit your view

I've got nothing left to prove

I'm being me—wild and unafraid

Not your version, not your masquerade

Every scar and every fight

Led me here to own my light

No one else can write my name

In the stars or in the rain

If I don't feel seen—I'll leave

'Cause I am enough just being me

I tried to twist my truth just to please your pride

But my soul got tired of the compromise

Told myself love was worth the cost

But I'm done paying when I'm the loss

If I can't laugh freely by your side

Then your heart doesn't match the rhythm of mine

I won't play small for your ease

I'm finally choosing me

I'm being me—wild and unafraid

Not your version, not your masquerade

Every scar and every fight

Led me here to own my light

No one else can write my name

In the stars or in the rain

If I don't feel seen—I'll leave

'Cause I am enough just being me

You said I was too much

Now I see—that was never true

I was just too real

For a love that never knew

How to hold a diamond

That didn't need to shine for you

I'm being me—bold, unbreakable

Not your puppet, not replaceable

Every scar and every fight

Made me rise into my light

No one else can write my name

In the stars or in the rain

If I don't feel peace—I'll leave

'Cause I am enough… I'm finally free

I am enough just being me
