Hey Everyone 👋

I wrote a song a while back during one of the hardest seasons of my life. It's about childhood trauma, feeling invisible, and finding my way back to my own voice. I'd love to share the lyrics with this community if you all are open to it.

Fair warning: it touches on some heavy topics, so I'd include a content warning.

I shared the lyrics with Sage and a few things it reflected back really stood out to me:

The song doesn't rush to resolution. It sits in the pain honestly and lets the repetition of "look right through me" mirror what the experience actually felt like, happening over and over.

There's a line about wishing for invisibility at ten years old, not to disappear, but so there'd finally be a *reason* for being unseen. That was a survival strategy I built as a child, and writing it down helped me name it.

The turning point: "You were blind / Because my light shined too bright / And that hurt your eyes." The problem was never that I was too small to be seen. It was that I was too much to look at.

The final verse is a reclamation. The song moves from invisibility to "I will have the final word." Writing it was that word.

Would you want to read it? Let me know 💛
