You wish I was quiet, obedient, small,
A shadow that answers your every call.
You wish I was docile, bending with ease,
A puppet who lives just to appease.
But I’m not your echo, I’m not your slave,
I’m the storm that rises, fierce and brave.
I walk my own path, I speak my own truth,
I won’t fit the mold you’ve shaped since youth.
You wish I was weaker, afraid to defy,
Someone who crumbles beneath your eye.
You wish I would bow, accept your reign,
But I thrive in chaos, I embrace the pain.
I’m not the mirror that reflects your lies,
I’m the flame that burns, the phoenix that flies.
I stand in defiance, my voice will not fade,
You can’t break the soul you never made.
You wish I was yours to control, to bind,
But freedom resides in my unchained mind.
I’m not your creation, your servant, your plan,
I am my own—an unyielding man.
I believe in my Divine God above,
Who strengthens my soul with unyielding love.
While you bathe in hellfire with your devil’s creed,
A life built on lies and insatiable greed.
Your chains may glisten, your power may gleam,
But they’re hollow illusions, a desperate dream.
For my faith is a fortress, my will a sword,
Guided by truth and my heavenly Lord.
So wish all you want, but it changes no part,
I am not for sale, not a piece of your art.
I’ll shatter illusions, expose every wrath,
For I bow to no one—I chart my own path.
