I created this using the first lesson prompts: [VERSE 1] — fragile, exposed I laid down what I couldn’t name, covered it softly under sand. Its echoes trembled in the dark, waiting for one last command. [CHORUS] — breath‑like, emotional centre Hold me in this quiet light, long enough to come undone. Let the dust fall off my skin, show me what I’m running from. [VERSE 2] — the tunnel / emergence Through a narrow throat of earth I pulled myself toward something new. And when the daylight touched my bones, I knew what I was crawling through. [BRIDGE] — the shift, the thin‑light moment I felt the weight release its claim, a softer truth beneath the fear. The part of me I thought was gone was only waiting to appear. [OUTRO] — quiet landing A thinner self, a quieter breath, rising from the dust I buried.
