I Am Not Nothing

Verse

You said I was nothing — a ruin, a ghost,

but here I am breathing, alive at my post.

You buried me deep where no sunlight could see,

but a seed of my spirit kept calling to me.

Pre-chorus

It pushed through the silence, the grief, and the pain,

and grew into someone who can love again.

Chorus

I am not worthless, I am not your lie,

I am the soul you could never deny.

You silenced my voice, but I rose from the pain,

and I’ll never be silenced by darkness again.

Verse

You tore at my spirit, you hollowed my chest,

but something kept beating inside my unrest.

A whisper of courage, so quiet, so true,

said, “You are not finished — the light’s still in you.”

Pre-chorus

I have washed off the shame, I have burned through the blame,

I’ve gathered my pieces and spoken my name.

Chorus

I am not worthless, I am not your lie,

I am the soul you could never deny.

You silenced my voice, but I rose from the pain,

and I’ll never be silenced by darkness again.

Bridge

I look at that girl who once prayed just to die,

and I hold her with love that will never run dry.

I tell her she’s sacred, I tell her she’s whole,

no longer the shadow — she’s fire and soul.

Chorus

My scars are my lanterns — they glimmer, they gleam,

lighting the path from the nightmare to dream.

I walk now in daylight, my heart open wide —

I am not nothing,

I survived.

Chorus

You silenced my voice, but I found my own sound,

I’m standing in truth, I’m steady, I’m found.

This is my story, my heart, my reply —

I am not nothing.

I survived.

Outro

You silenced my voice, but I found my own sound,

I’m standing in truth, I’m steady, I’m found.

This is my story, my heart, my reply —

I am not nothing.

I survived.
