Do You See Me?

I've been the peace in a room full of storms
Smile on my face while my soul transforms
Everybody leans on me for light
But who holds me when I'm tired at night
Don't wanna be the strong one all the time
Sometimes I just need space to cry
Do you see me

I'm here, I'm breathing, I'm not hiding
Do you see me
Beyond what I give, beyond what I write
Beyond what I'm surviving, do you feel me
I'm more than the strength you see
Do you hear me
I'm calling out for someone to just let me be

I've been the healer, the calm, the safe space
But I get lost inside that grace
Keep forgiving what cuts too deep
Sing my pain in melodies
I can't keep close my eyes to quiet the noise
Praying life don't steal my voice
Can I just exist?
No role to play Just float for a moment, drift away

Not your savior, not your story
I'm sacred even in my worry
Every scar, a map of truth
Every bruise becomes my proof
Do you see me now? Not the mask, not the vow
Do you see me now
I'm learning to love who I am somehow

Do you feel me?
I'm not just strong, I'm free
Do you hear me this time?
I'm singing for me
Oh, I'm singing for me
Oh, I'm singing for me
