Affirmation

They tried to pin me down with names that never belonged to me.


They whispered labels meant to wound, meant to cage.


But I rose through flames that could have consumed me.


I am not their label.


I am the fire-walker, the storm-survivor, the one who carried herself through what was meant to destroy her.


I lived through fire, and I came out shining.


Every scar glows as proof: I am stronger than their words, deeper than their judgments, and brighter than their disbelief.
