Achilles Heel
Even the strongest will got an Achilles’ heel
iron will, diamond-forged in steel
born in fire where my inner child still bleeds
purpose in the pressure-measured by how I speak
I don’t bend so take a seat, never kneel for the weak
don’t sway when the structure collapse beneath my feet
pride comes before the fall-felt it deep in my core
mapped it through the cracks in the past I ignored
memories resurface in that bitter-sweet score
dream recalls distorted, echoes seep through the walls
still growing like seeds I been sowing through scars
learning from fractures while I’m pushing past odds
pain of being tamed, shame still cutting like glass
but every titan that I face got a fault they can’t mask
every titan that I face got a chink in the armour
even the strongest hold a weakness they harbour
heart of a lion still silenced by karma
I don’t break, I don’t bend-I just sharpen the trauma
shape-shift into final form-this the formula of war
brittle legends get torn at the crack of dawn
younger me watching like a ghost in the storm
fury in the silence-now the torment is born
echo of my innocence severed and gone
can’t feel it no more-had to bury and mourn
soft core turned pressure point-now I peak when I’m pressed
double anointed, I step but don’t speak what I’m blessed
flex in the pressure, I bend but I don’t ever break
what they called a weakness now decides what I take
I don’t fight with the world-I just shift how I’m placed
graveyard shift-leave a trace, then erase what remains
what was once human now armoured in scars
no rewind, no return, no version of what we are
just a fracture turned focus-I was forged in the dark
now the heel that once crippled me kicks some of the hardest art
