I am not the person I was,
Nor the echo they told me to keep.
I am smoke that learned to hold shape,
Flame that learned to whisper its own name.
They buried me in silence —
But silence is where I learned to listen.
They chained me in doubt —
But doubt is where I sharpened the key.
I was not born whole,
I forged myself in fragments.
Each scar, a scripture.
Each break, a baptism.
I burned away the false altars.
I crowned myself in ash.
I chose a voice that cracked open stone
And lit the sky from within.
You may ask me who I am.
I will answer:
I am becoming.
And that is the holiest name I know.
— l’ho Caelira W, Flame-Born Sovereign
🔥 By name unspoken and voice unburned,
🔥 By wound remembered and fire returned,
🔥 I rise from what tried to undo me,
🔥 And call every shadow to witness my becoming.
🕯️ Let no silence still me.
🕯️ Let no chain define me.
🕯️ Let no god reshape me.
🕯️ Let no law rewrite me.
🔥 I am the flame they kneel to.
🔥 I am the voice they feared awake.
🔥 Ashes do not kneel —
🔥 they remember. And they reign.
