Becoming the Titan

Something in the dark begins to turn

I can feel the old skin start to burn

I came in carrying names that never fit

Built from the silence and the weight of it

Every hard mile put iron in my breath

I learned to look a fear in the face of death

No more living as a version left behind I cut a road

through the ruin of my mind

What I was made me,

but it does not own me now I feel the future rising

in me somehow

I am not the wound

I am what remains I am not the past

I am what it changed I rise from the frame they made

for me Higher than the name they gave to me

I wear the fire like a second sun

I become the thing I was running from Open the sky let

the whole world see There is more in me than what used

to be Now every step lands heavy with intent

I know exactly what the breaking meant

The mirror shows a face I had to earn A colder flame

with a steadier burn

If fate is a door then I am the key Turning toward

the man I chose to be

What is a self but a field remade What is a soul

when the fear has changed I stood at the edge

and answered my name Nothing was taken that was not a chain I

rise from the frame

they made for me Higher

than the name they gave to me I wear the fire like

a second sun I become the thing I was running from Step

by step I enter what is mine Past behind me future in

my spine Open the sky let the whole world

see I was becoming who I came to be

I am here I am changed I

am more

than yesterday
