They told me I was born beneath the dirt, that I was nothing but broken bones and borrowed air. They mocked the silence in my veins, the hunger in my eyes, the fire I kept chained behind clenched teeth. They told me strength belonged to bloodlines, to the anointed, to names carved in gold. But they never saw the war I fought just to breathe. They never counted the nights I died and came back louder, crueler, sharper. I had no legacy. No prophecy. No guiding hand. I was forged in solitude, raised by pain, trained by the echo of my own fury. And while they waited for blessings, I bled for my power. I did not rise—I clawed my way out. I did not beg—I stole what I needed. And I did not become what they expected. I became what they feared. Not a king. Not a god. Not a weapon. I became the silence before the scream. The moment before the world shatters. The ghost in their triumphs. The shadow beneath their thrones. The storm with no master. I am the answer to a question no one dared to ask: What happens when the forgotten refuses to die quietly? I do not need your truth. I have my own. I am the blaze that birthed its own legend. The fire that carved its name into the skin of fate. And I am not done burning
