261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUa4zzCQun

Calm is strength.

Silence says everything.

Bend, don’t break.

Healed, not hiding.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkeG84DIU

They didn’t see me coming—

because I never

needed to announce

myself.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2LtnRrKAv

Softened, not shrank.

My silence

wasn’t surrender—

it was strategy.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzQ6H40YzD

I became too whole

to fit inside

their opinions.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLys48Z8ETQ

My strength

is a river—

steady, shaping stone.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjSi4HoDs8

Not loud,

just unshakable.

I wear peace

like armor.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGHayHtfIo

My crown

is quiet,

but it shines.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0ZcEocMm

I held my fire—

and lit the way.

They built walls;

I planted roots.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXAGgvavy

They looked down.

I looked within.

I never needed noise

to matter.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbhYLr2ww

I did

what I wanted.
