They said it was impossible. That I was too breakable. But I'm still here. Impossible is raw spoken word over downtempo soul, warm upright bass walking beneath sparse jazz piano and gentle string swells while a close-mic'd voice, breath audible, cracks allowed, tells the story of surviving what was supposed to be unsurvivable. She was invisible in her own skin, shakable, unstable, living in a body that felt uninhabitable, but something in her stayed undeniable: what's broken in me is still repairable, I may be fragile, but I'm also durable, I'm meant for more than survival. The whole song turns those words over one by one, from wound into proof: what felt impossible became possible, what was unbearable became bearable, breakable to unbreakable, miserable to lovable. The stripped-down bridge holds the hardest truth and the deepest one: there were nights where breathing felt intolerable, but I stayed. I stayed when it felt impossible. And I'm not unbreakable because I never broke, I'm unbreakable because I survived being broken. Living proof that healing is possible, that what they said was lost is recoverable. She became her own kind of miracle. Written by Pamela Arsena. Pamela's Mystical Musings on the Pamela Arsena label.
They said it was impossible That I was too breakable That some things are irreversible That pain like this is unbearable But I'm still here I was invisible in my own skin The trauma made me so damn vulnerable They couldn't see what I was holding in Every breath felt impossible I was shakable, unstable, barely capable Living in a body that felt uninhabitable The weight was unspeakable, indescribable But something in me stayed undeniable I told myself: this is not irreversible What's broken in me is still repairable I may be fragile, but I'm also durable I'm learning that I'm meant for more than survival I am able, I am capable I am stable, I am unshakable I am valuable, irreplaceable I am here, and that's undeniable What felt impossible became possible What was unbearable became bearable I was breakable, now I'm unbreakable I was miserable, now I'm lovable I turned invisible pain visible Made the unreachable reachable I am living proof that healing is possible What they said was lost is recoverable I used to think I was irreparably damaged That my mind and body were unmanageable That the things I survived were unforgivable That being whole again was unattainable But I found pieces of me that were salvageable Parts of my soul still flexible, changeable I learned my nervous system is trainable That safety in my body is reclaimable I was told I'd never feel comfortable That peace for me was unreachable But I've made my healing undeniable I've become my own kind of miracle I am able, I am capable I am stable, I am dependable I am valuable, unforgettable I am here, and that's remarkable What felt impossible became possible What was unbearable became bearable I was breakable, now I'm unbreakable I was miserable, now I'm lovable I turned invisible pain visible Made the unreachable reachable I am living proof that healing is possible What they said was lost is recoverable There were days I felt unsalvageable Moments I thought I was disposable Nights where breathing felt intolerable Where my own reflection was unbearable But I stayed I stayed when it felt impossible I stayed when I felt invisible I stayed when hope seemed unreachable And now I know, I am unstoppable I'm not unbreakable because I never broke I'm unbreakable because I survived being broken I'm not fearless, I'm just unshakeable now My healing is visible, audible, undeniable What felt impossible became possible What was unbearable became bearable I was breakable, now I'm unbreakable I was miserable, now I'm remarkable I turned invisible pain visible Made the unreachable reachable I am living proof that healing is possible What they said was lost is recoverable I am capable, irreplaceable Lovable, valuable, undeniable My life is livable, worthy, redeemable I am here, and that's impossible made possible They said it was impossible But I made the impossible possible
