I stopped counting who was right When the room got loud Every word turned into proof Every truth had a crown You sharpen facts like little knives Lay them out in rows I lean back into the quiet There’s more there than you know You ask me why I don’t respond Why I don’t defend I already chose my silence Before this could pretend We don’t raise our voices We don’t need to win I don’t build a fortress Out of things I’ve been Let the noise keep moving Let it circle back I don’t need your answer I don’t need to clap I’m not lost I just stepped aside You bring receipts and timelines Degrees framed on the wall I bring nothing but awareness And I don’t flinch at all Every claim you throw like fire Burns out in the air Some truths don’t need defending They’re already there You say silence means surrender But I’ve learned instead Not everything that’s quiet Is afraid to be said We don’t raise our voices We don’t need to win I don’t trade my stillness For the shape I’m in Let the noise keep moving Let it wear itself thin I don’t need to conquer I don’t need to spin No crown No score No echo in my head I don’t fight for meaning I just let it rest No god No judge No stage to stand above I don’t call it power I just call it enough We don’t raise our voices We don’t chase the flame If you need the spotlight You can keep the name I walk out with my knowing Hands open, intact I don’t need to prove it I don’t need you back Still here Still clear Still mine © 2026 Lunarbaby.
