They told me I was done Like a page already turned Like my breath was borrowed And my heartbeat unearned But here I am - no script, no plan Just the quiet sound of lungs that ran I faced the fire with no disguise And found my soul in my own eyes I didn’t rise to prove them wrong I rose because the silence needed a song I never asked for strength or fame Just the right to live without shame I sat silent by the fire Let it tell me who I was Didn’t flinch, didn’t run Didn’t ask what it does Ash on my shoulder Smoke in my veins You called me broken I wore that name Cancer They said it like a sentence - like the end But it was just a word And I was still here. Still my own friend You saw the scars I saw the story You whispered"fragile I answered: Glory They called me broken But I was only burning Not fading Not falling Just learning And every crack became my light The kind that glows when others die I sat silent by the fire Let it tell me who I was Didn’t flinch, didn’t run Didn’t ask what it does Ash on my shoulder Smoke in my veins You called me broken I wore that name Still I stand Not because I’m unbroken But because I chose To carry even the ash With love ✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️ Lyrics © 2025 Thousand Tomorrows and Tunzuu (@tunzuu).
