All of Me

Verse 1
They’re all here.
Every version of me I tried to outrun —
the baby with untouched eyes,
the child who learned fear too early,
the teenager hiding behind anger,
the young man pretending he didn’t care,
the old man waiting at the end of the road.
All of them staring back at me
from the same cracked mirror.
Pre‑Chorus
I never thought I’d face them all at once.
I never thought I’d have the courage
to look them in the eyes.
Chorus
I’m sorry —
to every one of you.
For the pain I carried forward,
for the walls I built too high,
for the love I refused to feel
because I was scared of breaking again.
I promise I’ll do better —
for the boy you were,
for the man you became,
for the future we still have left.
I owe all of you more than survival.
Verse 2
I see the baby who deserved gentleness,
the child who deserved safety,
the teen who deserved guidance,
the young man who deserved forgiveness,
the elder who deserves peace.
I see the damage I inherited
and the damage I caused
trying to protect myself from ghosts.
And I see the truth:
none of you ever stopped hoping
I’d finally choose to heal.
Bridge
To the child —
you didn’t deserve the fear.
To the teen —
you weren’t wrong for hurting.
To the young man —
you weren’t a monster, just wounded.
To the old man —
I’m trying, I swear I’m trying
to become someone you can be proud of.
And to all of you —
I’m done running.
Final Chorus
I’m sorry —
for every moment I abandoned you,
for every time I let the past speak louder
than your needs.
I promise I’ll do better —
I’ll soften,
I’ll open,
I’ll let love in without flinching.
I’ll trust the people who earn it,
and I’ll let them see the real me
you all fought so hard to protect.
All of you are part of me —
and I’m finally ready
to carry you with kindness.
Outro
The mirror doesn’t look so threatening now.
All of us standing together —
not broken pieces,
but a whole life.
And for the first time,
I whisper to every reflection:
“We made it this far.
Let’s see how much farther we can go.”
