I CHOOSE ME || A Self-Love Song for Every Woman Who Needs to Hear This

I CHOOSE ME An Original Self-Love Song I spent so long trying to be enough, Hiding my tears, pretending to be tough. I searched for love in somebody's eyes, Forgot my own worth while chasing their light. But tonight, I'm letting go, Of all the things I used to know. I take a breath, I finally see, The love I've needed starts with me. I used to change to fit their world, A quiet voice, a forgotten girl. I said, “I'm fine,” when I wanted to cry, Kept all my feelings locked up inside. I thought that love meant losing myself, Putting my dreams on somebody's shelf. I gave my heart till there was nothing to give, Forgot I deserve the life that I live. But every scar has a story to tell, Every hard night taught me myself. I'm not a failure because I fell, I'm still becoming, and I'm doing well. I don't need permission to shine, I don't need approval to call this life mine. I'm done believing I'm hard to love, I'm already worthy, I'm already enough. I choose me, I choose my heart, I choose to love every broken part. I choose my dreams, I choose to be free, I'm finally becoming the real me. I don't need the world to agree, I know there's beauty inside of me. Through every storm, through every sea, I'll never stop choosing me. Oh, I choose me, I'm learning to believe. Oh, I choose me, And that's enough for me. Some days I'll wake with a heart full of doubt, Wondering what this life is about. Some days the mirror won't feel like a friend, Some days I'll break and need time to mend. But I won't punish the girl in the glass, For every mistake, for every dark past. I'll hold her gently, I'll let her breathe, I'll give her the kindness she gave everybody. I don't have to race, I don't have to prove, I can take my time, I can find my groove. My path is mine, my pace is okay, I'm proud of the person I'm becoming each day. I don't need permission to shine, I don't need approval to call this life mine. I'm done believing I'm hard to love, I'm already worthy, I'm already enough. I choose me, I choose my heart, I choose to love every broken part. I choose my dreams, I choose to be free, I'm finally becoming the real me. I don't need the world to agree, I know there's beauty inside of me. Through every storm, through every sea, I'll never stop choosing me. Oh, I choose me, I'm learning to believe. Oh, I choose me, And that's enough for me. Here's to the woman I'm learning to be, The one who stands tall and finally feels free. The one who says no when something feels wrong, The one who knows she has always been strong. Here's to the dreams I was scared to pursue, The beautiful things I still want to do. I'll take up space, I'll speak my truth, I'll never again make myself small for you. I can be gentle and still be strong, I can be healing and still move along. I can be scared and still take that chance, I can be whole without a perfect romance. To the girl who cries when nobody sees, To the heart that bends down on its knees, You don't have to earn the right to belong, You were worthy before you were strong. You don't need perfect skin or a perfect face, You don't need to win every single race. You don't need to have your whole life planned, You can find your way, one step at a time. And if tomorrow feels heavy again, If you lose your way in the middle of pain, Remember the promise you're making tonight: You deserve your own love, your own peace, your own light. I choose me, I choose my heart, I choose to love every broken part. I choose my dreams, I choose to be free, I'm finally becoming the real me. I don't need the world to agree, I know there's beauty inside of me. Through every storm, through every sea, I'll never stop choosing me. I choose me when the days are long, I choose me when I don't feel strong. I choose me through the tears I see, I choose the woman I'm meant to be. Oh, I choose me, I finally believe. Oh, I choose me, I'm giving myself what I need. I am enough, just as I am. I'll hold my heart with my own two hands. No more running, no more trying to be Someone else… I'm choosing me. Yes, I'm choosing me. And this time, I'm staying with me.
