238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2gTkCJxWz

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLx7EdGc1t

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OwPe8VIy

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUoEoQTLOs

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vd0NlLO5V

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOewpHUPB9

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZEMxJk0ci

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM0DbqvP3B

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJVpMOr4MZ

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXIoym4EhB

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmLKrW6OGg

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYfFYE2gB

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSguNJsWY0

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
