Forged with fire...
They mock my steps, they count my flaws,
Not knowing pain that never paused,
They've never seen the nights I've cried,
Or how i stitched my soul with pride,
They point at dreams i keep inside,
Then laugh like I'm not meant to rise,
But broken roads and bitter skies,
Have taught me how a phoenix flies,
They never saw the meals I missed,
Or how my prayers were clenched in fists,
They think I'm weak, just let them see,
What fire forges silently,
Let them talk, I'll let them doubt,
While i build empires from burnout,
One day they'll watch me touch the stars,
And never know how deep the scars,
Their words are dust, I've breathed in worse,
I've grown through drought, survived the curse,
And when i shine, they'll claim they knew,
But I'll remember who stayed true...
