I Found Myself
Rising from Shadows: Discovering Strength in 'I Found Myself'
Lyrics
What you did to me made me forget who I was
Experiencing something that caused me to lose sight of my true identity.
I let it happen thought you broke me
I allowed it to happen, thinking it had shattered me.
But I'm not done
Despite the challenges, I'm not defeated.
You didn't know what I had in me
You were unaware of my inner strength and capabilities.
You couldn't see what I'd become
You couldn't perceive the person I had evolved into.
You wanted to hold me down
Your intention was to restrain me.
You wanted to keep me back
You aimed to hinder my progress.
I'm tired of hiding
I'm no longer concealing my true self.
I finally decided who I am
After deliberation, I've finally determined my identity.
I found myself through a serious evaluation
Self-discovery occurred through a thorough examination.
I found myself to be stronger than I knew
Realized I possess greater strength than I previously knew.
I found myself through months of contemplation
Self-awareness achieved through months of deep thought.
And I found that with myself I don't need you
Discovered that I don't need you to be complete.
What you said to me made me believe I wasn't enough
Your words made me doubt my worth.
I relied too heavily on what you thought of me
I relied too much on your opinion of me.
More than anyone
More than anyone else.
I didn't know what I had in me
I was unaware of my own potential.
I couldn't see what I'd become
I couldn't see the person I was becoming.
I let you hold me down
I allowed you to suppress me.
I let you keep me back
I permitted you to hinder my progress.
I'm tired of hiding and I finally decided
No longer hiding, I've made a firm decision about my identity.
Who I am
I now know who I am.
I found myself through a serious evaluation
Self-discovery through a rigorous evaluation process.
I found myself to be stronger than I knew
Realized my inner strength is greater than I thought.
I found myself through months of contemplation
Self-awareness achieved through extended contemplation.
And I found that with myself I don't need you
Recognized that I don't need you to define me.
As I time goes on I see it so clearly
Over time, I now see things more clearly.
A damaged soul played the role I needed
A damaged soul played a role I needed to break free from.
You're not worth my tears
Your actions are not worth my tears.
Or those wasted years
I won't lament the years I spent on you.
Unexpectedly I'm here
Unexpectedly, I find myself in a better place.
Through a serious evaluation
Through a serious evaluation, I discovered my strength.
I found myself to be stronger than I knew
I found I am stronger than I previously believed.
I found myself through months of contemplation
Self-awareness gained through contemplation.
And I found that with myself I don't need you
Realized I don't need you to define my worth.
I found myself through a serious evaluation
Self-discovery through a thorough evaluation process.
I found myself to be stronger than I knew
Recognized greater strength within myself.
I found myself through months of contemplation
Deep contemplation led to self-awareness.
And I found that with myself
Found that I am complete without you.
I don't need you
Realized I don't depend on you for my identity.
