Not every flame
is meant to rage.
Some fires
are quieter than that.
They live
in steady breaths,
in measured thoughts,
in the calm space
between one heartbeat
and the next.
Once,
my fire was wild.
It ran through every corner
of my mind,
burning faster
than I could understand it.
But time
is a patient teacher.
It shows you
that strength is not found
in the loudest blaze
or the brightest sparks.
Real strength
is the flame
that survives the storm.
The one
that keeps burning
when the winds have passed,
when the night is still,
when the world
has finally grown quiet.
Now the fire within me
does not fight the dark.
It simply shines—
steady,
balanced,
unafraid
to remain.

The fire never left me.
It changed.
What once burned wildly
now moves with purpose.
The same energy
that once scattered my thoughts
now holds them steady
like a flame protected from the wind.
I no longer chase every storm
that appears on the horizon.
I stand still
and let the weather pass.
Strength is not noise.
Strength
is knowing your own mind
well enough
to guide it
back to calm.
Now when the world looks closer
they do not see chaos.
They see a quiet fire—
a light that refuses to fade,
steady,
balanced,
and fully in control.

Control is not about
silencing every thought
or pretending the past
never happened.
Control is quieter than that.
It is the moment
you realise
your mind no longer owns you.
The moment you understand
that every feeling
does not need to become a storm.
You can pause.
You can breathe.
You can choose
which thoughts deserve
your attention
and which ones
can pass like clouds
across a wide sky.
This is the kind of power
no one sees—
the quiet mastery
of a mind
that has learned
how to guide itself
toward peace.

Easy days
Don’t build strong people.
Storms do.
The setbacks.
The sleepless nights.
The moments where quitting
Feels easier than trying again.
That’s where strength is forged.
Anyone can smile
When life is perfect.
But real power
Is standing tall
When everything feels like it’s falling apart.
Every storm you survive
Leaves something behind.
More wisdom.
More patience.
More strength than you had before.
So don’t curse the rain.
Let it shape you.
Because one day
You’ll realize
The storms you hated
Were the same storms
That made you unstoppable.

Some days
The mountain feels impossible.
Too steep.
Too far.
Too heavy on your shoulders.
You look up
And the top feels like a dream
You’ll never reach.
But here’s the truth.
Nobody climbs a mountain
In one step.
They climb it
Step
by
step.
One decision.
One effort.
One moment of courage at a time.
You don’t need to see the whole path.
You just need the strength
To take the next step.
Even when your legs shake.
Even when your mind doubts.
Even when the world says
“Turn back.”
Because the climb
Is what builds you.
Every scar
Every struggle
Every moment you almost quit
Is shaping the person
Who will stand at the top.
So breathe.
Look forward.
And take
one
more
step.
Keep telling yourself one more step
until you get to your destination.

I set track with this map of mismatch
That just tracks, and it stacks, and its lax,
On everyone — yet it drains, and it saps
The codex, the freakin’ stats of anyone who fights back
Try to relax, take a sip, but they snap
When I’m sad, like it’s bad, like I’m whack
Like I’m trash yet have the audacity to
bid no eye, and just wave and goodbye
To the ones who just **** up to you while I’m passin’ 'em by
And it’s always just them, and them, and again
And again and again man it pains me to bend — even then
I’m denied to take a stand, but God **** — enough is enough
Of this band — I’ma snap, I’ma crack, I’ma jest, I’ma Laugh
I’m this far away from the end of my thread
But I swear on the pain that I won’t let it end
For The years of torment, and the pains I couldn’t vent
You’ll feel till the end so just relax and repent
These verses are godsent, You fools better flinch, better **** in your pants.
And since birth, I’ve been cursed with this curse to just curse
And blurt this berserk and bizarre **** that works
And it helps in itself, it’s relief in the tension
That’s seepin’ through these sentences, stress in extension
That’s been eatin’ me recently off of my chest
And I still can’t even rest peacefully
No patience is in me, and if you offend me
I'm liftin' you ten feet in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me, just jaw you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom, and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you
I don't mean to be mean
But that's all I can be, it's just me
And I am whatever you think I’m not
If I wasn’t then why would I say I’m not
In the paper, the news everyday’s a ****
Everything I’m not made me everything I’m
