I AM
Haley Smalls Lyrics

there's a war inside my soul and i'm calling in my home
I am struggling internally, but I am seeking internal resolution.

if i look within myself i won't need to lie on nobody else
I do not need to deceive myself or rely on others if I am honest with myself.

cause you can't dress up your heart
You cannot hide your true feelings or intentions, they will always remain.

you cant spread ten of pain away
Avoiding or distracting yourself from feeling pain will not make it disappear completely.

you can put lipstick on a smile
Externally, you can fake happiness, but it cannot fully mask any underlying emotional struggle.

but that don't mean that it will fade away
Putting on a facade may help in the short-term, but it won't solve internal issues and will always linger.

when the day is dawn
After enduring hardships and struggles.

and it's me in the mirror am i enough
Looking at oneself and questioning if they are content with who they are unhindered by societal pressures.

am i enough for me to love
Am I worthy and confident enough to truly love and accept myself?

are we really living
Are we fully engaged and present in our lives?

are we caught up in it
Are we mindlessly following societal norms and pressures instead of forging our own path and being true to ourselves?

i am who i am
I am not defined by anyone else's expectations or perceptions, only by my own authenticity.

i'm one in a million
I am unique and valuable, just like every other person.

we are worth living
Everyone is deserving of a fulfilling life, regardless of their background or struggles.

can you see pass every lie
Do not let external societal expectations and falsehoods cloud your own judgement and self-truth.

that is painted on a billboard sign
These lies about beauty, worth, and success are perpetuated by society and often externalized onto others.

im not on a magazin
I am not a fabricated perception put forth by media or society, I am a real person behind the image.

wake up and face reality
Take a step back and recognize the falsehoods perpetuated by society and challenge them for your own personal growth.

i am the one who makes me smile at the end of the day
I am the only one responsible for my own happiness and contentment in life.

i will be proud of who i am i have no shame
I am unapologetically myself and proud of my unique characteristics and experiences.
