No Plagiarism!zrBNMfE39ZZ6dXtyBFSEposted on PＥNAＮＡ

BTS: Epiphany (Jin)

Other: Florence + The Machine – Shake It Out

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaLwThvT4L

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqVeZTPkTk

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7MKURFhWV

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA2XFGo12T

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W94OTZFr5

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5u0Evutce

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v0pGYCyLE

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ898AKMPFdA

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETEaa2IP7k

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMqOxiYGWs

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSXa1Y4bJU

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tR8sLZ3xg

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJsQm3IXy6

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
