I don’t arrive like a storm, I arrive like weight Slow and certain, I don’t hesitate Quiet strength in the way I stand You’d miss the power in my hands I don’t rush where I choose to go Every step is something I know Still on the surface, deep underneath More than you see when you look at me I learned control before I learned trust To build my life out of dust I don’t fall, I adjust I don’t break, I reconstruct But I want to be seen Not just steady, not just strong There’s a fire in between That I’ve carried too long I wear a crown in silence But I feel everything Don’t mistake my restraint For not needing anything I want to be seen Not just stone and routine There’s a heart underneath That still dares to believe I remember what you say Even things you didn’t mean I don’t forget the way People change what they seem I can hold on or let go But I always choose slow If I love, it runs deep If I leave, I don’t repeat Don’t confuse my distance With a lack of care I just learned that not everyone Deserves what’s there I want to be seen Not just steady, not just strong There’s a fire in between That I’ve carried too long I wear my crown in silence But I feel everything If you stay in my world You’ll know what I mean I am earth, I am flame I don’t bend, I don’t break the same And if you see me clearly You won’t forget my name
