BTS: Black Swan

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJJvJT0q5

Calm is strength.

Silence says everything.

Bend, don’t break.

Healed, not hiding.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYDMoI8SKE

They didn’t see me coming—

because I never

needed to announce

myself.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwSROxZgzf

Softened, not shrank.

My silence

wasn’t surrender—

it was strategy.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPd96abmrc

I became too whole

to fit inside

their opinions.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQfJtjqGST

My strength

is a river—

steady, shaping stone.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIunFa6cCTj

Not loud,

just unshakable.

I wear peace

like armor.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5qIdQ10t

My crown

is quiet,

but it shines.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDp1cfpjCV

I held my fire—

and lit the way.

They built walls;

I planted roots.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6YLhtPG7T

They looked down.

I looked within.

I never needed noise

to matter.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIwzsOXSFn

I did

what I wanted.
