Ashes in my Wake

I walked through fire with a smile on my face,

Every scar I carry found its place.

They said I’d break, but I just bent,

Took the pain and made it pay the rent.

They built their walls and drew their lines,

But I turned silence into battle cries.

Not a victim, not a saint,

Just a soul that learned to dance through rain.

I leave ashes in my wake,

From every lie and every fake.

I don’t run, I rise, I shake—

The ground beneath with every step I take.

No halo, no chains, just flames I tame,

And I’ll never be the same.

They watched me fall, thought I was done,

But I was just reloading the gun.

Now every breath’s a thunder roll,

A quiet storm with a shattered soul.

I don’t need a crown to prove I’m king,

My throne’s built on everything they couldn’t bring.

I made a kingdom from the pain,

Wrote my story in the pouring rain.

I leave ashes in my wake,

From every lie and every fake.

I don’t run, I rise, I shake—

The ground beneath with every step I take.

No halo, no chains, just flames I tame,

And I’ll never be the same.

You can try to hold me back,

But I’ve learned how to bend, not crack.

Like a phoenix in disguise,

I burn just to touch the skies.

I leave ashes in my wake,

From every doubt and each mistake.

I don’t run, I rise, I break—

Every limit they try to make.

No halo, no chains, just flames I tame,

And I’ll never be the same.
