I AM

I don't kneel for approval

I don't bargain for space

I don't borrow my power

I don't shrink my pace

I've been quiet, I've been patient

Watched the world test my skin

Now I rise like a verdict

And I let myself win

No chasing shadows, no pleading prayers

I stand unbroken, I stand aware

If I enter the room, the rules realign

This crown was always mine

I don't beg

I don't cling

I don't wait for permission

I am everything

I don't fall

I don't fade

I don't need your condition

I am made

Say it loud, let it land

I don't need to prove who I am

I don't ask - I command

I AM

I don't fear being alone

I don't fear being seen

I don't chase what escapes me

I choose what stays with me

I've outgrown the hunger

For borrowed desire

Now I move like a signal

Set the night on fire

No validation written on my skin

I decide where I end and begin

If you feel the shift, understand

This is power taking a stand

I don't beg

I don't cling

I don't wait for permission

I am everything

I don't break

I don't sway

I don't bend to your vision

I am unafraid

Say it loud, let it land

I don't need to prove who I am

I don't ask - I command

I AM

I am not your lesson

I am not your phase

I am not the echo

Of someone else's name

I am presence

I am flame

I am the crown

And the claim

I don't beg

I don't cling

I don't bow to your kingdom

I bring my own thing

I don't wait

I don't plead

I don't need your admission

I lead

Hands up, feel it stand

Every version of me says 'I am'

No apology, no demand

I AM

I AM

I AM
