One Day at a Time

(hmmmmm) There was a time I stopped trusting my own name,

Every failure felt like evidence I was the same,

I looked at every dream and saw another reason why,

Maybe I wasn't meant to reach it,

maybe I should let it die.

But confidence isn't something that arrives at your door,

Sometimes you build it from the floor,

One small promise kept,

one small battle won,

One morning proving you can still become someone.

I started believing in myself one day at a time,

Not because everything suddenly started going right,

But because every time I fell and got back on my feet,

I gave my future

another reason to believe.

I found my confidence in the repetition,

Found my courage in the unfinished mission,

I didn't need to feel powerful to start,

I just needed to stop surrendering my heart.

Now the voice that once told me I couldn't survive

Is becoming quieter

every day I'm alive,

I don't need to be fearless anymore,

I just need to keep walking through the door.
