becoming

I wore the smile, played the part

Hid my truth in the dark

Said all the right words, but none were mine

Prayed to be someone I could never find

I tried to fix what wasn't wrong

Held my breath just to belong

In a world that taught me how to lie

To lose myself just to survive

But silence is a slow goodbye

And I was dying just to feel alive

So I broke the chains, I let it burn

All the shame and pain and hurt

Every scar became a spark

Lighting up my wounded heart

I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase

I'm the storm that found its grace

This is me, unafraid

Becoming, becoming

Then all at once the mirror cracked

I couldn't fake one more act

I chose the truth, though it shook the ground

I lost some love, but I found mine now

Cause healing hurts, but so does hiding

And peace is worth the pain of fighting

So I broke the chains, I let it burn

All the shame and pain and hurt

Every scar became a spark

Lighting up my wounded heart

I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase

I'm the storm that found its grace

This is me, unafraid

Becoming, becoming

For every kid who feels alone

Thinking they're too long to be known

Hold on, your light is coming

You're not broken, you're becoming

Healing hurts

But so does hiding

And peace is worth the pain of fighting

So I broke the chains, I let it burn

All the shame and pain and hurt

Every scar became a spark

Lighting up my wounded heart

I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase

I'm the storm that found its grace

This is me, unafraid

Becoming, becoming

This is me, unafraid

Becoming, becoming
