They told me I was too loud when I spoke my mind
Too many dreams packed inside this brain of mine
Every no cut deeper than the last knife
Drowning in doubts tryna find my own light
Teachers said my rhythm never matched the beat
Friends laughed when I tripped over my own feet
Mirror mirror why you always look so mean
Whispering lies that cut sharp and clean
But I love me when the world says stop
I love me when the pain won’ t drop
Every scar every flaw every crack in my shell
I love me cause nobody else will
Stumbled through the dark with my knees all bruised
Voice shaking but my truth I refused to lose
They said change your tone to fit in the mold
But my colors too bright to ever fold
Tried to shrink my shine to fit their small view
Till I realized their rules were never true
Now I stand tall in my imperfect skin
Letting all my light come bursting within
But I love me when the world says stop
I love me when the pain won’ t drop
Every scar every flaw every crack in my shell
I love me cause nobody else will
