My Shadow

Self-hatred was all I ever knew

The ones closest to you

Always leave the deepest wounds

And for this, I thank you

I will face my shadow

My shadow

I will embrace my shadow

My shadow

No more holding my own breath

Surrender to my ego death

I let go and release

In order to take what was meant for me

I welcome the water in my lungs

No more singing those songs I sung

I bathe in this ocean of pain

To face the things that make me feel insane

I will face my shadow

My shadow

I will embrace my shadow

My shadow

I will face my shadow

My shadow

I will embrace my shadow

My shadow

Thank you for believing in me

Thank you for seeing the real me

Buried underneath

My crippled self-esteem

Now I see

I’m worthy
