Whole again

Sometimes I fall into my mind, a maze of echoes, undefined. But then I breathe... and light comes rushing down my spine There’s a storm beneath my skin, it burns, it breaks, it pulls me in. It shakes the ground beneath my feet, but even chaos makes me breathe. I close my eyes, I let it flow, the pain, the truth — I let it go. In the silence, I can hear, the voice I’ve buried all these years. I choose to be whole inside, no more running, I won’t hide. Let my fire be love, not fear, I’m becoming crystal clear. I see my shadows in the light, they’re not my enemies tonight. They hold my story, my release, they’re how I fall, and how I heal. The heart speaks softly through the noise, it says, “you break — to find your voice.” I breathe it in, I let it be, and something sacred rises in me. I choose to be whole inside, no more pieces I must hide. Let my words ignite the skies, let my truth burn bright tonight. One small vow I know I’ll keep, hands open wide, I plant the seed. A single step becomes a road, I stitch my cracks with threads of gold. I’ve been torn in two, but I’m still alive. Every scar I own is where the light survives. (light survives… survives…) I choose to be whole inside, let the walls fall, let me rise. Every tear I’ve ever cried built the wings I use to fly. I choose to be light, not the pain, I choose to love again and again. I choose to be whole inside… and I’m finally, finally alive again. I breathe, I smile, I shine... and I am whole.
