Alive in the Middle of It

I’ve been running circles in my own headspace,

Trying to keep pace with the world’s fast chase.

Every day feels like a highlight reel,

But the quiet moments show me what’s real.

I’ve been learning how to breathe again,

Letting go of things I can’t defend.

Life hits hard, then it comes back soft—

Some days I’m up, some days I’m lost.

But I’m done pretending I don’t care,

I’m done acting like I’m not scared.

I’m figuring it out as I go—

And maybe that’s enough to grow.

’Cause I’m alive in the middle of it,

Even when the world gets loud, I’m with it.

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need plans—

I just need to trust where I land.

I’m alive in the middle of it,

Caught between the chaos and the limits.

And maybe I don’t know where I’ll fit—

But damn it, I’m alive in the middle of it.

Spent too many nights tryna be someone

I thought the world would want, but I’m done.

Now I’m taking back pieces of me,

Tiny victories nobody sees.

Life’s not shiny, life’s not clean,

Sometimes the mess is where I find meaning.

Every stumble shapes who I become—

Yeah, I’m learning not to hate the undone.

I’m done pretending I’ve got it planned,

I’m done running from who I am.

The unknown’s not a place to fear—

It’s just tomorrow waiting near.

’Cause I’m alive in the middle of it,

Even when the world gets loud, I’m with it.

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need plans—

I just need to trust where I land.

I’m alive in the middle of it,

Caught between the chaos and the limits.

And maybe I don’t know where I’ll fit—

But damn it, I’m alive in the middle of it.

If the stars can fall and still burn bright,

If the waves retreat but still rewrite—

Then maybe I can learn to change

Without losing my own name.

I’m alive in the middle of it,

Even when the doubts hit hard, I’m in it.

I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof—

I just need the courage to move.

Yeah, I’m alive in the middle of it,

Standing where the wild world meets my spirit.

And maybe I don’t know where I’ll fit—

But damn it, I’m alive…

Alive in the middle of it.
