Poems
Jun 9
Still standing.
You thought the silence meant defeat,
That shame would keep me at your feet.
But in that hush, I found my flame—
And I will never wear your name.
You took my voice, or so you tried,
But I was roaring deep inside.
You thought the scars would steal my light—
But I’ve turned pain into my fight.
I bled in silence, broke alone,
Still built an army from the bones.
You came to crush, to own, erase—
But I survived. I kept my place.
So keep your shadows, keep your lies,
I’ve seen the dark—you don’t surprise.
You touched my body, not my soul.
I rise unshaken. I am whole.
