BTS: Epiphany (Jin)

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi9ieEFAlx

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzubH3r1Xw

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEB9NjdisL

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3fOtZ951W

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKDswmK9DN

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXelZdsG1lN

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXF2siq2tC

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAPb66MmVx

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHIqaUF2r2

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O3URHrgHC

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmdUXJu7e5

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJQEUtCfEW

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmuom8C5BZ

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
