13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4GCYAtX6s

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FHvP4KIxv

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDt73VhcXX

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxte12c4av

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xRgTZR1dF

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcizycgjIxA

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcZRAZWUkj

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ZiwTav6M

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEODAG3wji

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJcXgZst8t

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bmWIy7FXc

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw25t66BCzB

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnmy0G28fv

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
