Lyric

No, I don’t wake up perfect

My hair's wild, thoughts louder

Sometimes I talk too much, sometimes not enough

But I’ve stopped keeping score

Of who I should be by now

I'm a poem still being written

Each day — a line in progress

And no, I don’t have to bloom on cue

I’m growing honest, not just new

I’m unfolding me

In slow rhythm, like the sea

Not polished, not pressed

But real in every breath

You can love me or not

But I won’t forget what I’ve got

I’m unfolding me

Yeah, I’m soft and I’m steel

I cry when I feel

Dance when I’m broken

Still rise in the morning

Told myself I’m too much

Then told myself, "So what?"

Now I move with my flaws

Like they’re jewels that I bought

I don’t ask for less or more

Just space to be and to explore

I’m unfolding me

In slow rhythm, like the sea

Not polished, not pressed

But real in every breath

You can love me or not

But I won’t forget what I’ve got

I’m unfolding me

Unfolding, evolving

Not here to impress, just to express

Not for display — I’m here to stay

I’m unfolding me

Not here to impress, just to express

Not for display — I’m here to stay

Unfolding, evolving

Not here to impress, just to express

Not for display — I’m here to stay
