BTS: Epiphany (Jin)

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYXi0Q86tQ

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzm0Zxbrv8

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagyGRNwllf

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXDUa2c5Fw

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtb10TTn6v

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHQghYbRa

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRYL3wygq

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09iT9IE0D

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQNeFhpjPY

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbFM1MNOOB

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zvykYaETH

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuzPNwuHR7

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7k5YdSBN

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
