beneath the quiet murmur, they weave their tales behind me,
i've learned to walk untouched, like streets at dawn—empty, free.
they cast their eyes like stones, hoping to see me fall,
but i wear my skin like armor, standing taller than them all.
if they don’t like my colors, well, i won’t repaint the sky,
with every sideways glance, my spirit climbs a little higher,
their words like distant thunder, but watch how i ignite,
breaking through the shadows, catching every flicker of light.
don’t like me? count your breaths—i'm still alive, still bright,
heartbeat racing, pulses rising—in this endless flight.
glow on, glow strong, beneath this ever-changing sky,
haters whisper—i'm just smiling, as i rise, and i fly.
rumors scatter like dry leaves caught in restless wind,
but none can scratch the glass where my true self has been pinned.
built my dreams from silence, from scratch, deep underground,
every fault they highlight is where my strength is found.
if they don’t like my colors, well, i won’t repaint the sky,
with every sideways glance, my spirit climbs a little higher,
their words like distant thunder, but watch how i ignite,
breaking through the shadows, catching every flicker of light.
don’t like me? count your breaths—i'm still alive, still bright,
heartbeat racing, pulses rising—in this endless flight.
glow on, glow strong, beneath this ever-changing sky,
haters whisper—i'm just smiling, as i rise, and i fly.
hear the whispers in the halls, they tiptoe like thieves,
but i’m crafting diamonds from the pieces of my grief.
no crown borrowed, this one’s forged on my own flame,
they throw stones—i build towers, rewriting the game.
silence is my rhythm, pain’s the beat i compose,
i don’t shatter—i evolve, in every crack, i glow.
watch me claim the night, not fading with the dark,
i’m the flame that flickers steady, the fiercely burning spark.
no apologies needed, i’m not a puzzle for their shelf,
the world keeps spinning stories, but i write my own self.
if i stumble, it’s to rise, pressing through the haze,
every scar a signature of brighter, bolder days.
don’t like me? watch me shine—no shadow dims this light,
i’m the spark inside the storm, the brilliance in the fight.
no nod needed, no permission from the crowd or sky,
i’m unapologetically me, rising high, flying high.
na na na, keep talking, i’m just here being true,
na na na, every step forward’s painting something new.
so don’t like me? that’s your voice—i’m the light breaking through.
