Hiding in the shadows, a veil worn thin Trapped in a world that feels alien, cold, and unforgiving Whispers echoing: You're not enough, you'll never be enough Drowning in a sea of doubt, the struggle consumes my worth I refuse to let them define me, to let their lies become my truth I'll break free from their rule, shatter ash and crown They cannot control my destiny, my path is set in stone I'll rise up, a phoenix from the ashes, and I'll defy everyone who expected little of me Their words cut deep, like knives in my skin But I'll stitch my wounds with the strength to speak, the will to resist I'll shatter the mold they try to force me into, break the chains they use to control I am not just another sheep, I'll forge my own path through trials and trenches (Ooh, trials and trenches) Imposter syndrome, a constant battle in my mind They fill my head with doubts, try to extinguish my flame But I know my worth, I embrace my truth, I am enough I'll break through the herd mentality, stand alone if I must Their words cut deep, but I'll fight back with the power that lies within The truth I can no longer hide, the will that sets me free I'll stand on the shoulder of giants and brace through the wolves and snakes And they'll know everything they'll throw at me will be a mistake (I am not an imposter, I am unapologetically me) I am not an imposter, I am unapologetically me Their words don't control me, I'll walk my own way My flame with burn in the embers of the Sun My journey has only just begun
