I’m not broken I’m in pain – Savage Thunder
Quick Summary
Don’t fix me—feel this fire. I’m not broken. I’m alive in my pain.
This song stands as a declaration of emotional integrity. The songwriter doesn’t seek pity or praise—only understanding. Through lyrical repetition and metaphor, I’m Not Broken, I’m In Pain” invites the listener to reconsider what strength really looks like.
The power of this song lies in its delicate rage—in how it honors pain without collapsing under it. The artist reclaims tears, scars, and sorrow not as signs of defeat but as evidence of endurance. In a world that often dismisses emotional struggle, this song becomes a brave anthem of soft power.
It belongs not on a pop playlist, but in the hearts of those trying to stay whole while aching.
“I’m Not Broken, I’m In Pain” is a powerful, emotionally immersive piece that redefines the language of survival. Rather than glorifying recovery as a clean, linear journey, the song crafts a poetic landscape where emotional pain is normalized without being pathologized. The chorus declares not defeat but honest resistance—a raw assertion of personhood despite internal chaos.
Behind the Song
I’m Not Broken, I’m In Pain” was written in the space between being misunderstood and being deeply felt. It came from those moments where people look at you, see you functioning, smiling even—and assume you’re okay. But inside, you’re a quiet battlefield. I wasn’t trying to write a sad song. I was trying to write an honest one.
The title itself is the anchor and contradiction: I’m not broken—I’m in pain.” That one line holds the tension between resilience and vulnerability. Pain doesn’t mean I’m weak. It doesn’t mean I need to be fixed. It means I’m alive. This song is for everyone who’s been told to hide their hurt, to smile through suffering, to just move on.”
Each verse is a reclamation of voice, a refusal to let pain be interpreted as failure. The pre-choruses challenge the judgment, the assumptions. The chorus rises—not in volume, but in truth—affirming that grief, guilt, rage, and tenderness can all coexist in a person without breaking them.
By the end, I wanted the listener to feel not sorry—but seen.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don’t scream, I smolder slow
Wear my silence like a heavy coat
Smile so no one sees the weight
Of the battles that I never debate
[Verse 2]
You think I’m fine ‘cause I still stand
But pain has ways you wouldn’t understand
It’s not the fall—it’s when you stay
Buried deep and smile anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Does this rage make me too much,
Or just someone craving touch?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Verse 3]
I’m not shattered, I still shine
Through every ache, this strength is mine
Twisted up, but not erased
Pain just carved a different grace
[Verse 4]
I’m not broken—I still feel
My sorrow makes the fire real
Anger, grief—they share my skin
But I’m still stronger from within
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you only see the cracks,
And not the soul that’s fighting back?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Verse 5]
I’m not broken—I still burn
Every scar’s a page I’ve earned
Twisted, torn, but standing tall
Been through hell—I’ve lived it all
[Verse 6]
I’m not broken—I’m just loud
In a world that shames the proud
My ache, my guilt, my rebel scream
Are just the echoes of a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Can sorrow be a kind of grace,
Not just something we erase?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Verse 7]
I’m not broken—I just care
Deeper than I want to share
Anger pulses through my veins
Sorrow dancing in the rain
[Verse 8]
I’m not broken—I’m alive
With the rage I keep inside
Pain that bends but doesn’t end
A wounded soul that won’t pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
What if pain’s not weakness shown,
But proof I’ve never stood alone?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Verse 9]
I’m not broken—I still know
That buried seeds can still grow
Through the sorrow, through the flame
I am whole, though never tame
[Verse 10]
Do you flinch at all my fire,
Or fear the truth it might inspire?
Can you tell the difference in the rain
Between what’s healing and what’s shame?
[Pre-Chorus]
What if guilt’s just love delayed,
And anger is the price I paid?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Verse 11]
I’m not broken—I still breathe
Though grief and guilt cut underneath
Twisted roots don’t mean decay
Some storms are meant to bloom that way
[Verse 12]
I’m not broken—I’m in bloom
Even pain can find its room
In a heart that learns to feel
Even when it won’t yet heal
[Pre-Chorus]
What if I’m more than what you see—
A storm wrapped in fragility?
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Bridge]
Don’t fix me—just feel this fire
There’s meaning in the mess and mire
Every tear, a piece of truth
I’m not lost—I’m living proof
[Chorus]
I’m not broken—I’m in pain
All twisted up with guilt and blame
I bend beneath what I can’t show
But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go
I wear my sorrow like a skin
But that don’t mean I’m giving in
[Outro]
No, I’m not broken—just alive
With every scar, I still survive
