I sit across from the mirror of my mind
Pieces scattered trying to find
The voice that tells me it's okay to breathe
That love's not something I have to achieve
The thoughts they spiral they twist and turn
A fire inside that refuses to burn
I long for control a steady hand
But I'm lost in the waves sinking in sand
They say it's a journey not a straight line
But how can I heal in borrowed time?
Rebuilding me step by step
Facing the pain I tried to forget
Through ups and downs I fight to see
The pieces of love still left in me
Frustration's a storm but I'll dance in the rain
Broken and happy I'll rise again
The worksheets the questions the voices inside
Each one a compass to where truths hide
"I am enough"-I try to believe
But it's hard when the scars still grieve
They say control's a choice not a demand
But I keep reaching with shaking hands
To be appreciated seen and known
Is a battle fought in the depths alone
The moments I fall the moments I rise
Each one a piece of the love I disguise
Rebuilding me step by step
Facing the pain I tried to forget
Through ups and downs I fight to see
The pieces of love still left in me
Frustration's a storm but I'll dance in the rain
Broken and happy I'll rise again
It's okay to break it's okay to cry
To scream at the walls and question why
The map is messy the path unclear
But every small victory dries a tear
Rebuilding me step by step
Holding the pieces I'll never regret
Through ups and downs I've learned to see
The light of hope still shines in me
Frustration's a fire but I'll rise from the flame
Broken and happy I'll find my name
This is my story my fight my plea-
To love to be loved to finally be free
