This Is What It Feels Like

I should hate you

Will you cry?

This is what the drugs are for

Two people

for your validation

What Is Your Peace Worth
© 2025 R3Zondo

you said, let it go, like it was light as rain
but i held it tight like blood in a vein
all the silence, all the cost
kept track of every line i crossed

i tried to fix what wasn’t mine
took the blame just to keep you fine
but i’ve been running from myself
to keep your demons on the shelf

what is your peace worth
if it breaks me down?
if i trade my truth
just to calm you down
every time i bend
you don’t even see
what is your peace worth
if it costs all of me?

i walked on eggshells, you called it grace
smiled while i vanished without a trace
gave you comfort, gave you grace
but lost the mirror to my own face

what is your peace worth
if i disappear?
if i lose my fire
just to quiet your fear
every time i shrink
to let you be free
what is your peace worth
if there’s nothing left of me?

there’s no prize for staying small
no medal for that kind of fall
and i won’t beg, i won’t pretend
this kind of love can’t heal or mend

what is your peace worth
if it breaks my voice?
i’ve got one life
and i’ve made my choice
you can have the calm
but not at my fee
what is your peace worth
if it costs all of me?

(Summary)

This song is my raw, emotional reckoning with the cost of peace when it comes at the expense of self. Inspired by the tradition of deep truth telling, it speaks to anyone who’s ever swallowed their truth to keep others comfortable. It’s about reclaiming your voice, and asking, finally, if that trade was ever worth it.
