Your Voice Was Never the Problem—Their Comfort with Harm Was
I’m Not Explaining Myself Anymore—You Were Just Never Listening
You Can’t Unsee What You Survived

We did not come here to be pleasant.
We did not come here to repeat what they taught us in fear.
We did not come here to water down our wisdom so it could fit neatly into someone else’s comfort zone.

We came here to speak truth.

Not the truth that flatters.
Not the truth that performs.
But the kind that disrupts illusions. The kind that shakes the bones of silence.

We did not come to indulge anyone’s fantasies or perform for their fetishes.
We are not here to be consumed. We are not characters in anyone’s soft-spoken fairytale.

We are the fire at the edge of the forest.
The echo that refuses to be silenced.
The boundary that won’t be moved for the sake of someone’s delusion of control.

We came here to grow.
To evolve.
To confront the most uncomfortable parts of ourselves and this world—and do it anyway.

We are here to look injustice in the eye and call it what it is.
To name harm.
To reclaim the sacred.
To protect those still finding their voice.
To disrupt every tradition that taught us to stay small and say “thank you” for being stepped on.

If you are growing, shaking off the old, refusing to play pretend—
Know this:
You are not too much.
You are on time.
You are exactly who your ancestors dreamed would rise.
