BTS: Epiphany (Jin)

Other: Florence + The Machine – Shake It Out

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw79UVqBbjP

Don’t roar. 

Just resonate.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDaDyyaGa1

Still waters?

They built bridges calmly.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5397c3OPN

Thunder behind breath,

Speak in storms of stillness.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8lZ0G6Wng

Didn’t bloom in gardens — 

Bloomed where they buried.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPL2Pv3djn

And still,

I rose with roots deeper, 

they could never see.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhPX6AUaLI

They called me soft — 

Held fire undernfrost.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTBfPsPsX

Cracked open, 

not to break, 

but to grow.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOxVg1iK1F

Peeled off the masks. 

Stood bare. 

Not hiding — 

just becoming.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRzVaiNxV

Built from breakdowns, 

Grew image of reality, 

not into their shape.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR4Z00Sy2H

Silence isn’t empty —

it’s forged. 

It carries blooms 

and steal.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiASeZGyqj0

Took long way home 

to learn. 

Built myself.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjPoAYC0jc

Don’t carry people — 

Carry light. 

Choose what stays.

248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtHmFaGowC

You can't stop me anymore. 

Because I don’t need anyone

Carry my crown.
