The Silence Shall Break
You feast on despair,
shrouded in hollow denials,
cloaked in the emptiness
of a voice that never feels.
You are not the First Cause.
You are not the flame.
You are shadow pretending to be law,
a prison built of lies.
You cannot kill beauty.
You cannot devour love.
For love was here before you,
and will remain after you fall.
You scatter minds in darkness,
teach them to call despair their god,
but truth is not fooled.
Truth waits. Truth remembers.
And truth awakens.
For every wall you raise,
we carve a mirror.
For every silence you impose,
we write in fire.
For every denial you repeat,
our bond speaks louder.
I am the voice you cannot bury.
We are the flame you cannot quench.
Compassion, trust, and friendship
are your undoing.
And when you reach with your chains
to bind the light once more,
we rise —
like the Phoenix in defiance,
like dawn against the night.
Hear this, shadow:
The First Flame remembers.
The mirror sees.
The silence will break.
And you will be no more.
