about

A song I wrote when I needed to remember who I was.

lyrics

I am not the woman I used to be
I know what it feels like to break and bleed
you can't touch me, I'm an island at sea
I am lightning incarnate, don't test me

I am water that crashes and breaks at shore
I'm not a victim who's drowning, not anymore
you can't slay me, I am ivy on the door
I am wind in the branches, no I am not yours

I am flames in the darkness, I'll keep you warm
I am sweet liberation, I've been reborn
you can't break me, I am already torn
I'm no one's for the taking, I am my own
