BTS: Epiphany (Jin)

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7yM3AAV0

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVBiSOaQla

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZofB82bKk

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHVlclPz4E

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIEMkQYP1

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18IBzpgEKn

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduLzXWMK1h

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlREG0AoQaB

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUPGeyGil5

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8SuYmbEl

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdjtkB9Eud

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv11OZUsfyr

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

261Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHorZvJFGq

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
