I Am Light

I searched outside for so long

What was already living inside me.

Today I come back home.

I choose myself. I respect myself. I love myself.

I carried weights that were never mine,

Trying to fit in, trying to be fine.

I smiled through pain, I stayed polite,

Afraid to lose love, afraid to fight.

I tried to please, I tried to prove,

Like my worth depended on their view.

But deep inside, a quiet flame,

A patient light still knew my name.

Now I breathe and finally see,

I'm not broken, I'm meant to be.

Not a problem to rearrange,

But a soul allowed to heal and change.

I am not my fears from yesterday,

I am not what hurt me on the way.

I am more than doubt and scars,

I am still here, I am still strong.

I am the light, the light, the light,

I choose myself, I choose my life.

I am the light, the light, the light,

I speak to my soul with love inside.

Oh oh... I am the light.

Oh oh... I am the light.

I forgive my past, I thank it too,

It made me strong, it led me through.

These scars I wear are not my shame,

They say I lived, I stayed, I came.

I don't need perfect to deserve peace,

I don't need permission just to breathe.

I deserve rest, I deserve respect,

Even when I fall, even when I forget.

I talk to my mind like a child at night,

With gentle words, with calming light.

I clear my space, I clear my heart,

I let go slowly, I choose my start.

I don't beg for love anymore,

I stand grounded, I know my worth.

I am a temple, I am enough, I am my own grace.

I am the light, the light, the light,

I choose myself, I choose my life.

I am the light, the light, the light,

I speak to my soul with love inside.

Oh oh... I am the light.

Oh oh... I am the light.

When the world is hard, I stay gentle with me. When I feel lost, I return to my truth.

When doubt gets loud,

I answer: I know who I am.

Who am I?

I am the light!
