Half Bloom

I've been floatin' more than plannin

Lettin' thoughts come without landin

Bought flowers I didn't need

Just to feel like something's bloomin' in me

I don't text you but I think loud

Laugh at things and cry out proud

Guilt still dances in my chest

But I let it, let's progress

I'm in half bloom, not quite whole

Somewhere soft but still in control

I don't need the sun to shine

I feel like maybe I'll be fine

I'll be fine

I talk to mirrors like old friends

Treat my silence like it bends

I don't chase, I feel and move

And let the music tell the truth

Tell the truth

I'm in half bloom, roots still deep

Some days strong, some days weak

I don't need it all to make sense to know

I'm healin' in present tense, present tense

No beginning, no new name

Just a softer way to carry pain

If peace is slow, I'll wait in it

If love returns, I'll stay with it

I'm in half bloom, and that's okay

Still unfoldin' day by day

I don't need to glow to grow

Somewhere in me

I know

Half bloom, roots still growing

Stay with me

Half bloom, roots still growing
