Step 3 of 4 — Own it

Five phrases. Then a beat.

You’ve already given Reframe the context. Five short prompts now — a phrase each. Write your own words, or pick from the phrases offered under each one and change them if you want. Nothing here is scored, and nothing is required.


What to expect

Five prompts on one page. Around four minutes. Write a phrase, choose one that fits, or skip it — any mix finishes the same way.

What you get

An Initial Inspiration — a short set of lines in your own language, on a beat matched to what you wrote. Free, and yours.

What this is not

Not therapy, not diagnosis, not treatment. No score, no label, no threshold.

The prompts are shaped by research on adverse and positive childhood experiences — what people carry, and what held them. You will not be asked about either by name. Read how that works.


First — set your tone

How honest do you want the lines to be?

This sets how the writing leans. You can change it after you read your Inspiration.

Carried forward

{{ carriedHeadline }}

{{ carriedBlurb }}

What held

{{ supportsLine }}

What you carried

{{ burdensLine }}

{{ gapsLine }}

None of this is a score, and none of it appears in your lyrics as-is. It only tips how the language leans.

{{ p.num }}

{{ p.ask }}

{{ p.hint }}

Or pick one — you can edit it after
{{ p.status }}

{{ saveStatus }}

This clears every step.

Your answers here, the other assessment, and anything written on the Start page, plus your beat shortlist, are one session — deleting removes all of it from this device. It cannot be undone.

Reading your answers for the tension underneath them, then writing to your beat’s tempo. This takes a few seconds.
