Mikayla Geier - i don't feel safe in my body (Official Lyric Video)

[@Stellsgrey88]

as a dancer who struggles with body image and confidence issues, i truly sobbed. this was exactly what it feels like when i teach my little girls at dance but am having a bad day, they brighten it up so quickly. through mental and physical disorders dance has always been my best friend, but also my enemy at the same time. i feel so represented and heard, thank you. this is beautiful!

You are enough I know i dont know you. But.. Your amazing Your enough Your unique Your special Your one in a trillion Your perfect Your you. Your body does not define you. Dont let the bullies grind you down. the only thing that can define you is yourself!!💗💗

[@MykeltiJ]

Same for me you worded it perfectly ❤

[@littlebigwhispersasmr7671]

I can’t tell you how deep this hit me. I was told “you have the perfect body for ballet… if only you had some common sense.” I had an eating disorder at the time and it made ADHD worse. It was healing for me to go to a different studio later on and experience the world of dance without abuse. It makes my heart happy to see little girls not being yelled at.

[@JesseRoseOfficial]

Im developing a ed. I hope you get better ❤

[@Lobotomy-x1k]

“i grew into my skin “i dont have a home now,it’s been broken again” made me cry uncontrollably thank you for this

[@JoyArt33]

So many of us need this song , even outside ballet. I was a classical music prodigy. Believe me, I relate 100%. I know there’s a lot more body related pressure in ballet, but being small and playing incredibly hard pieces and people being amazed… how could you not be terrified to grow up? I so hope you are in a better place now. Thank you for this.

[@daisies-all-day]

Right? Same for me, besides being a prodigy. Its like everything is impressive when you're younger. Grow up a few years, and you're "boring" now.

[@Craftyisheverafter]

Thank you. This track perfectly describes what it’s like to go through recurrent cancer diagnoses and surgery after surgery, chronic pain, and also living with anxiety and neurodiversity.

[@Craftyisheverafter]

I recently used your track to make a reel of all the very personal photos I took along my journey so far. The good, the bad, and the ugly. “Can I lay down? Is there a way out?” Oh man, this hits so close to home. I just want to rest without pain or anxiety about things being wrong.

[@CharaDreemurX]

@@Craftyisheverafter I sincerely hope you are doing well, I hope you and your family have a wonderful summer and I hope and pray it gets better for you.

[@deathvvitch]

Right? I know this was supposed to be a song about dancing as a child but it hit home so hard for someone like myself who has ptsd and pretty severe anxiety. I hope you have a pain free good feeling day ❤ sending u all the positive and healing energy

[@abigailreilly1807]

I AM LITERALLY IN TEARS. 😭 This is beutiful is so many ways. You are such a true artist.

[@alysonlundberg5810]

The juxtaposition between the lovely footage and the raw lyrics is so perfectly intertwined. Its lamenting and inspiring. You are very quicklu becoming a favorite lyricist and content creator. Amazing job!!

[@MikaylaGeier]

thank you so much

[@fairyfarms]

she's becoming one of my favorites tooo

[@THEmomfriend96]

I love the true joy that is resonating from Penny. Really shows the innocence she represents in the videos. Amazing job and I can’t wait for the full music video to drop!!

[@emmajane32]

I am forever grateful that my dance teacher that I've had for the past ten years (gosh its been that long) has never commented on anyone's body image at my studio (that I can think of or know of) she is the most non-toxic dance teacher I've heard of in terms of body image, and as a studio with all kinds of bodies, I can say that maybe our dancing is better because of that, we're not doubting ourselves.

[@miintyXX]

this song hirs me so hard. i’m a neurodivergent teenager with a bunch of body image issues, and a lot of them stemmed from my old dance classes. this also reminds me of why I have a little space. you make such beautiful, meaningful pieces.

[@tammyjeffrey-emilyibbott9446]

I saw the video that explains the meaning of the song and I can relate, my friends are always being favorites and being chosen for special dances where some people from each level are chosen and some people like me are just brushed aside and ignored, I always try my best but I can’t ever manage to do good enough to be chosen and I know that my teacher doesn’t judge my but I judge myself more than anyone else can. I don’t know how but you managed to brighten my day, the song is comforting. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@Chirp_the_frog]

Im watching this as a 12 year old ballet student who has had an ed for the past 4 years and has just started treatment and im crying so thank you thank you for reminding me im no alone

[@mylfygamer]

As a 44yo living with an ed. It's heartbreaking to know young people are still fighting with this. I'm happy to know we're all here fighting together. For those of us that are making it one day at a time and making those victories. I'm proud of you. You have this fight. You will win. I love you. You are more than good enough.

[@ratboygirl]

my heart can never take seeing interpretations of "inner child". i cry my eyes out every time. i was just scrolling through my youtube shorts and now my heart is shattered. "why does it feel so good to hurt, as if i got what i deserved?" bro. BRO. had to pause and take a lap around my room for that one. crying the whole time. lovely song, i'm adding it to my sad playlist

[@APOCALIPTICLIZARD]

This hit hard, thank you. I needed a good cry today, and to feel like someone understood. Im no dancer but...I think what makes it special is how easily it can be applied to so many different peoples experiences and bring understanding and maybe even comfort.

[@insertusernamehere3173]

I love this. I was a dancer for years and when I quit it was the healthiest thing I've ever done. This hits close to home. I love it.

[@apotatoperson.]

leaving this here so I can come back to this gem of a song🎀🤞

[@asifloserface]

The way I had goosebumps from that line about crawling into your body and they didn't go away for the rest of the song.. The mix of you with your incredible skill and the little girl with her fun approximation of what she sees ballerinas do and how you both tried to match and then the lyrics.. This song hit me a lot harder than I thought it would when I came here from the short you posted..

[@yousyou1426]

I cannot express how much I cried to this music video. I struggle with my stomach fat and overall body image and this just made me realize how many people feel the same way I do, it made me genuinely think about how many other people struggle with this. I play an artistic sport and the tears just flowed from this masterpiece! This song is beautiful. ❤️

[@salomeh3175]

So beautifully relatable in a sad way 💗

[@karlavcardoso]

"Why does it feel so good to hurt, as if i got why i deserved?" I really relate to this song in general, but this part made me sob. As someone who used to selfharm a lot, this is exactly what i felt like and it may not be what she intended but i felt so called out. As much as it hurt to listen to this, the song is beautiful and im actually crying!❤

[@MIA80073]

I love watching this! But oh my the words are so brutal. Thank you for verbalising how you felt, so many people can relate and now this is out there maybe they can use this to communicate how they’re feeling. Love you ❤

[@daniellej6519]

this is so beautiful, the imagery is so impactful and so are the lyrics! ty for being so vulnerable and sharing a part of yourself with us, as well as being a voice for those of us with similar experiences

[@Lovelylinkle]

Been following on TikTok for a while, this is amazingly bittersweet. Relatable, you’re a beautiful human being🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@Pinkypie-mr2ke]

one of my hobbies is drawing ballet dancers, they are just so majestic and gorgeous.

[@marabegoske316]

I felt the same way during cheer, lighter girls are easier to lift and the lighter you are the easier tumbling is. My old coach would body shame us, tell us she could see our last meal on us, and drilled it into our minds that to be great you have to be skinny. Thank you for the beautiful video, you truly are an artist

[@hannahmei_]

The most heart wrenching lyrics with the most wholesome video - absolutely beautiful 🤍

[@pettiestbettyart]

This song made me cry, it reminds me so much of my youngest daughter, and going back further, myself… thank you for letting us in 💖

This brings me to tears, as someone who is still growing up, having issues with their body, this song really brings me hope. Thank you ❤

[@Strawberryshortcaketherian]

I was never a dancer but I do have depression, anxiety, etc and this song is really relatable to me and is just amazing. I struggle with body and emotion issues that no one really properly understood. Some people did but most people did not. This song was really amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@jeremygonzales5295]

[@susanarowe3931]

Brought me to tears. Really put words to how I’ve been feeling, thank you 💖 Please keep making music!

There's something so healing about watching you dance and have fun with your younger self. I wish I could give younger me a hug and play with her too. ❤

TFW you realise you relate to something a little too much... o-o seriously though, thank you for putting into words the feelings of so many people

[@voidmatic]

bit of a longer comment, so I apologize for that - as someone who was yelled at and called names by my ballet teacher for years (he was such an asshole, he'd throw pens and stuff at us sometimes as well. kicked a hole in the wall one day. still teaches, too) and can trace back my body dysmorphia to being 5 in ballet and not liking the fact that I didn't look the same as the others, your video and lyrics really hit home with me and had me tearing up far more than I was expecting, especially since it's been years since I was in ballet. I sprained my ankle in grade 8 in field hockey and he made me go up en pointe a few days later, knowing about the injury. I'm icing that same ankle again today, about 10 years later, because I tripped and its so easy to hurt it now - turns out I have permanent damage in it. it's crazy the things we do when we're trying to be the version we think we're supposed to be. its a long as hell healing process.

I’m not a dancer never have been but I didn’t have a great childhood. And adulthood hasn’t been great so far. I love this… I never related to lyrics about my childhood so much in my life. Thank you for this❤ “I never grew up I crawled into my skin, I don’t have a home now, mins been broken… again and again and again”🥺

[@stARry-music2]

As a former dancer it felt like I couldn’t be myself and had to be perfect in the way I wasn’t. I had to be judged by my looks and skills and it put a big ball of stress and anxiety on me.. To the point I started to feel “sick” and wanted to leave. Well I put that past behind me and moved forward in my new chapter. Tho it was great dancing to expressed how I felt but I was never enough for the people around me.. I’m just so glad to have that to grow me as a person and think realistically what I want in life.. to make music! And sing!

[@hellochildren3780]

I know it isn't what this song is about, and I feel the message that it is saying, but i wanted to say my own interpretation of the song and what it means to me. Im trans and a sa victum and have never had the opportunity to feel safe and comfortable in my body, so this really hits for me because it's what it feels like. It feels like I crawled into the skin I have now, and all I could do was watch while my body turned into what it is now. Im so excited for the day I can make my body a home that I'm willing to live in. I can't wait for the day that my body looks and feels like home.

This song truly is beautiful and has a good representation of what it's like to be in dance ect I remember that when I was young they wanted all the kids to wear makeup and they also wanted us to wear corsets because some of this kids including me had a belly that stuck out . I will never got get the day my mom took me and my aunt and walk out of there
