✨ 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.
