Weight of The Sky

I been carrying weather
in my chest.
Storms don't ask permission.
They just arrive.
I learned the map by
the scars on my hands,
Every line a road
I didn't plan.
I chased the dark till
it knew my name,
Found out silence carry just
as much pain.
I stood in rooms
where the truth felt small,
Watched big voices crack the wall.
Power talk loud,
but it fold when pressed,
A whisper can break what
a shout can't test.
I put my ear
to the ground,
Heard tomorrow breathing now.
I carry the weight of
the sky on my back,
Every cloud got a name,
every tear got a track.
If I fall,
I fall forward,
never collapse.
I bend,
I don't break,
I don't fade,
I adapt.
I was born in the dark,
but I walk toward light,
Not blind,
not rushed,
with my eyes open wide.
I seen love turn
brittle under heat,
Seen gold lose shine
in the street.
I learned
that mercy ain't weakness at all,
It's the strength to stand
when the easy is fall.
I held the line
when the night grew teeth,
Counted breaths
when belief felt thin.
Every doubt tried to
hollow my name,
But purpose don't burn,
it temper like flame.
I put my hands
in the fire slow,
Came out knowing what
I won't let go.
I carry the weight of
the sky on my back,
Every cloud got a name,
every tear got a track.
If I fall,
I fall forward,
never collapse.
I bend,
I don't break,
I don't fade,
I adapt.
I was born in the dark,
but I walk toward light,
Not blind,
not rushed,
with my eyes open wide.
If storms are teachers,
let thunder speak.
If oceans judge me,
I'll stand knee-deep.
I don't need crowns
or borrowed thrones,
I build my house
out of truth
and bones.
I ain't here to
win a moment's praise,
I'm here to outlast
the shortest days.
When history knock,
I won't hide inside,
I'll open the door
and look it in the eye.
Stillness taught me how to move.
Silence taught me what is true.
I carry the weight of
the sky on my back,
But the ground hold steady
when my steps come back.
If I fall,
I fall forward,
never collapse.
I bend,
I don't break,
I don't fade,
I adapt.
I was born in the dark,
but I walk toward light,
Heart calm,
hands ready,
eyes open wide.
If the world tilt again,
I'll find my feet.
If the night return,
I'll bring the heat.
Not to burn,
to guide.
