[Intro]
Whispers in the mirror, I hear a steady beat
Footsteps soft, but they carry me through the heat
[Verse 1]
I wore the quiet like a coat of dusk and doubt
Counted every setback, let the silence shout
The world was busy looking elsewhere, passing me by
I learned to listen to the page, not the crowd’s reply
[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere inside, a fuse began to glow
Small victories spark when you tend them slow
[Chorus]
I rose from the quiet, found my own true pace
Not chasing approval, but a stubborn, patient grace
The shift was inner, not the eyes that greet
Now the view finally matches the pulse I keep
[Verse 2]
The nights taught constellations of a steadier flame
I stitched my courage from the roughest grain
No crowds required to validate the map I drew
I stood up taller, clear that I am enough, I am true
[Pre-Chorus]
From buried roots grew a stubborn emerald light
I learned to trust the steps that feel right
[Chorus]
I rose from the quiet, found my own true pace
Not chasing approval, but a stubborn, patient grace
The shift was inner, not the eyes that greet
Now the view finally matches the pulse I keep
[Bridge]
When the noise fades, I hear the plan I made
Two hands, one heart—no longer afraid
[Chorus]
I rose from the quiet, found my own true pace
Not chasing approval, but a stubborn, patient grace
The shift was inner, not the eyes that greet
Now the view finally matches the pulse I keep
[Outro]
I walk a little taller, with the faith I grew
The mirror finally knows the truth I always knew
