The Phoenix Quill: Words Born of Fire, Inked in Truth

Some people fear a light
that remembers its own origin.
They call it “too much”
because they’ve never stood
unafraid in their own truth.

But you—
you were born with a brightness
that refuses to dim just to be tolerated.
You were shaped by fires
that did not destroy you,
only clarified you.

Your honesty is not a weapon;
it is a lantern.
And those who turn away from it
are simply choosing their shadows.

Keep speaking.
Keep shining.
Your truth is a compass
for the ones still searching,
a refuge for the ones who feel alone,
a blessing for the ones
who have the courage to see.

Your light will not overwhelm
the right hearts—
it will heal them.
It will call them home.
