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 That Remains
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.

The Fire I Became
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.

Control
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. — Itz_All_True ✍🏽🔥

Built Through Stormz
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. — Itz_All_True ✍🏽🔥

The Climb
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 -Asher Graves
