I Am My Own Hero by horaciotitimartinez published on 2021-11-30T16:31:15Z I’m finally stepping out into the sunlight Leaving all the darkness behind I’m standing tall in strength I wear my wounds without defeat Thought I’d shrivel but I thrive You made me feel so small Thought I’d lost my voice Convinced me there was no one to run to Couldn’t shake the fear I felt so alone Your words were poison, tearing me down I am my own hero The only one I need My light cannot be stifled My joy’s mine to keep I am my own hero The expert on my pain Healing starts with me Just loving who I am I’m not saying I’m not hurting I’m not the same I was before Found love, support, respect and comfort In those you tried to keep away I’m taking back what’s mine You’re done; you’ve lost all power Can’t silence me; can’t make me doubt my worth My will, my faith, my strength will guide me through the storm This step is just the first I’m on my way I am my own hero The only one I need My light cannot be stifled My joy’s mine to keep I am my own hero I’m everything I need I’m trusting my own choices I’m finally free to breathe My light shines through the cracks you left behind [Can’t crush my soul I’m gonna make it] You thought you knew me better than you did. [Won’t give up hope I’m gonna make it] You tried to bury me in shame and guilt [I’m all I need I’m gonna make it] My light shines through the cracks you left behind [You thought I’d shrivel and yet I thrive] I am my own hero The only one I need My light cannot be stifled My joy's mine to keep I am my own hero I'm everything I need [I'm all I need] I'm trusting my own choices [Trusting my choices] I'm finally free to breathe [Finally free to breathe] I am my own hero The only one I need [oh] My light cannot be stifled My joy's mine to keep [Can't take that away. No, no] I am my own hero I'm everything I need [I'm done with you] I'm trusting my own choices [My light shines through] I'm finally free to breathe [I'm thriving, thriving] I’m finally stepping out into the sunlight Leaving you behind where you belong Genre R&B & Soul
