I’ve got these scars,
They’re on the inside and outside.
I’ve cried over each path I’ve taken
But I know these maps won’t define me.
Chorus:
I’m learning to love myself
Praying God will lead me on
Hold me tightly, for each time I fall—
I will love myself.
I defied my family
Inked my skin and got a piercing;
I will go against traditions,
Fly out of this cocoon I am in.
Chorus
Chorus
You see a person in front of you,
Broken, cracked, bleeding and bruised.
You think that you know me,
But I’m telling you not to judge me.
Chorus
You don’t think that I can be free
Be myself, the one that’s not seen
You don’t listen to me
It’s time to hear me.
Chorus
I will love—
I will love myself.
