In this moment,

In this second of my life.

I need a break from this proving fight.

 

I’m tired of trying to prove myself

I’m tired of the perfectionism height

I’m tired of it

Tired of trying with all of my might.

The thrills of the game of life at times aren’t fun

The pressures of performing well and success, make me numb

The trying of proving myself

It’s so much to withstand

So much to take hold

It seems like too much, a loss of control

Navigating it all

Trying my best in every way

Seems too much to bear

For any person every day

But what is it I’m trying to prove?

And why is it so?

Why can I not just go at my own pace, at my own flow?

The stress of life is too much

There’s the pressure of school,

Pressure of career and choice

Pressure to make something of myself

Pressure to have a voice

I want to release it all

Let it go in every way,

shape

and form

 

I want to feel OK with being me…

Being who I am in my purest form

The hustle of life, I just don’t want to accept

I want to escape it

Make it not become something that I’ve kept

I want to make it go away with each one of my steps.
I’m holding onto this freeing feeling of letting this “proving thing” go

Because the truth is, I know.

I know I’m sick of trying to prove myself to everything and everyone

In all honesty, the only person I should be proving myself to. I’m the one.

I’m the one who sets my bar

I’m the one who knows what I am truly capable of near and far

I’m the one who determines my fate

I’m the one.

This whole thing with proving myself, it’s all in my head,

I can live my life on my terms.

I can set my own path.

I can be free to be who it is I want to be.

I am free to make my own choices.

I’m letting popular belief and standards go in every way.

Because I can be free

I can be free from all of the noise

I can erase the heights that I have been drawn.

I can set my journey.

I can dare greatly and be who it is that I want to be.

I can let go of proving and be completely free…

I can be me

And be free to be me.
