RAP. Song: In Finding Peace.

I found my strength when I stopped looking outside
Every battle made me wiser inside
They tried to break me down but I just bounce back
My spirit unbreakable, that's a known fact
Every scar a lesson, every tear a gift
Now I'm standing taller, watch my whole mood shift
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now

Woke up this morning feeling like a whole new me
Mirror showing back somebody who's finally free
Used to search for validation everywhere I'd go
Now I'm my own hype man, that's how I roll
They said I wasn't good enough, I believed their lies
Now I see their jealousy hiding in disguise
Every single stumble taught me how to fly
Inner peace my superpower, reaching for the sky

Remember crying in my room, feeling so alone
Now I'm my own best friend, comfortable in my zone
Stress used to eat me up, anxiety my foe
Now I breathe deep and let that negative energy go
My mama raised a warrior, she just didn't know
Seeds she planted in my heart finally gonna grow
Self-doubt was my prison, but I broke those chains
Now I'm dancing in the sunshine after all that rain

Used to dim my light so others wouldn't feel small
Now I shine so bright, I illuminate us all
Comparison was poison running through my veins
Now I celebrate my journey with all its growing pains
Every setback was a setup for my comeback story
Now I'm writing my own chapters, claiming all my glory
The girl who used to hide is nowhere to be found
I'm standing in my power with both feet on the ground

Friends who tried to dim my spark, they fell by the way
Real ones stuck around to see me bloom today
Energy I used to waste on people who don't care
Now I pour into myself with loving, gentle care
Boundaries I never had are solid as a wall
Protecting my peace means I won't take every call
My worth ain't up for debate, that's something that I know
Self-love is my religion, watch my confidence grow

Late nights I used to spiral, thinking I'm not enough
Now I journal all my wins, even when times get tough
Gratitude my daily practice, shifting my perspective
Life hits different when you're genuinely selective
About the thoughts you entertain and voices that you hear
My inner critic got evicted, now my path is clear
Every morning is a blessing, every day's a chance
To love myself a little more, to grow and to advance

Trauma tried to define me, but I rewrote my script
Now my past is just a teacher, from its lessons I equipped
Myself with all the tools I need to weather any storm
My resilience is my armor, keeping my spirit warm
They say strong women raise each other, so I lift as I climb
Sharing wisdom that I've gathered throughout my lifetime
My joy is my resistance, my smile breaks their spell
When you know your own worth, you got stories to tell
