Glow

I glow from the wound, I don’t hide the scar

What tried to break me just showed who I are

Love left a bruise, but I’m brighter by far

Now I walk with the pain like a crown on a star

I glow from the wound, yeah I shine from the fight

Every heartbreak just baptized me in light

I gave what I had, now I give what I write

This is healing in motion, this is soul in the mic

Felt like I died when she turned from my hand

Had a future in mind, now I’m learning to stand

Built a kingdom of hope on emotional sand

But the tide pulled back and exposed who I am

Used to beg for her texts, now I text to inspire

Used to burn in the loss, now I channel the fire

I ain’t bitter, just bigger, got a heart that aspires

She was part of the chapter, not the whole empire

I loved her too loud, she moved to the hush

But silence ain’t empty—it’s the prelude to trust

Now I’m trusting in me, in this process I clutch

I was broken in love, but I’m healing in touch

With myself, with my worth, with the path that I choose

With the glow of the truth that ignites from the bruise

She ain’t evil or cruel—she was just passing through

But I’m staying, I’m growing, I’m the dawn from the blue

I glow from the wound, I don’t hide the scar

What tried to break me just showed who I are

Love left a bruise, but I’m brighter by far

Now I walk with the pain like a crown on a star

I glow from the wound, yeah I shine from the fight

Every heartbreak just baptized me in light

I gave what I had, now I give what I write

This is healing in motion, this is soul in the mic

Used to cry in the shower just to mask the sound

Now I rise like a flower from that shattered ground

My reflection ain’t sad now—it’s battle-bound

I ain’t chasing no ghost, I’m just channeling now

Got the fellas at work sayin’ “yo, you lit”

That’s the light from within, not designer drip

It's the grin after grief, it’s the growth I admit

It’s that Hilda’s house spirit in every spit

Love ain’t leave me—it just taught me to give

To myself first, then to those who uplift

Now I’m steppin’ through DC with a brand-new script

Like a tourist in joy, takin’ pics of the gift

I ain’t waitin’ on closure—man, I closed that gate

She ain’t gotta explain, I just chose my fate

Cuz what’s meant gon’ remain and what ain’t, escape

But I’m still holdin’ love, just in different shape

I don’t hate her…

I just finally love me more.

And that love?

That’s the light you see.
