Forged in Silence

(hummmm) Pain chose me (ahhhh)

I stopped asking why the pain chose me,

Started realizing pain was what forged me.

Every scar turned armor on my skin,

Every loss taught me how to never fold again.

I was built in chaos,

raised in survival, Had to become my own damn arrival.

Nobody came when I needed saving,

So I learned how to turn suffering into training.

Now fear don’t hit the same,

After surviving everything that tried to break me.

And every betrayal added fuel,

To the fire they thought would consume me.

So let the war drums sound,

I’ve been fighting my whole life anyhow.

Blood in my lungs,

rage in my veins,

Still standing after carrying all this pain.

I don’t run when the darkness calls,

I became the thing that survived it all.

And if life wants war… Then war’s what it gets.

You ever get so broken

That pressure starts feeling normal?

That’s me.

Now pain feels like preparation,

Every setback just another transformation.

I don’t fear losing people anymore,

Loss already kicked my front door in years ago.

Now I move like somebody Who already survived the worst possible ending.

There’s a beast inside me Built from abandonment,

betrayal, and scars. Every sleepless night fed it…

Every fake friend sharpened it… Every broken promise trained it for battle.

And now? Now I walk through storms

Like they were made for me.

I’m not alive because life was easy,

I’m alive because quitting never lived inside me.

Every wound became wisdom,

Every scar became proof.

They tried to break me… Instead they created somebody

Who doesn’t know how to surrender.

Still scarred… Still bleeding…

Still fighting…

But warriors like me?

We don’t die easy.
