I rose from the ruins with my name still smoldering,  

Smoke in my lungs and the moonstone flickering.  

I carried storms like ghosts curled beneath my ribs,  

Endured the kind of winters no living thing forgives.  

Every wound I tended whispered in the dark,  

Every shadow trembled when I reclaimed my spark.

They told me what a woman should endure to stay alive,  

But I carved a darker scripture with my own obsidian knife.  

No more chasing echoes down someone else’s hall—  

I learned to haunt myself, and that’s how I stand tall.

This is my threshold fire—  

A quiet, rising blaze.  

I crown myself in embers  

From all my former graves.  

No kingdom was given—  

I forged it out of night.  

This is my threshold fire,  

And I’m stepping into my life.

I’m done with folding smaller just to keep the peace,  

Tonight I vow allegiance to the woman I release.  

I speak my name in silver where I once spoke in fear,  

I summon every version of myself and call them near.  

No more kneeling at the altar of another’s reign—  

I build my own dominion from the architecture of pain.

I vow to be unbroken,  

To rise without permission.  

My heart is not a battleground—  

It’s a spectral apparition.  

I vow to be unbroken,  

To love the parts I hid.  

I am the fire, the crown, the myth—  

The woman who finally lived.

Stone by stone, bone by bone,  

I’m building an empire of my own.  

Every heartbreak was a cornerstone—  

Watch me claim the crown I’ve grown.  

Let the ashes witness, let the night recall:  

I was never meant to crawl.

This is my threshold fire—  

My vow, my rise, my throne.  

I shaped a kingdom from the dark  

And claimed it as my own.  

Unbroken, unburied,  

My sovereignty restored.  

This is my empire rising—  

And I’m stepping through the door.
