Built to Bend, Not Break

Pressure rising in the silence Cracks form under quiet strain But I've learned to bend with fire Not to shatter from the pain I carry weight in shadows Still standing through the storm My shape may twist and falter But I always find my form I was built to bend, not break I bend with every wave I've been down, but never done I've been cut, but never caved Like steel in the heat I shape what others take I was built to bend, not break Scars etched like blueprints Lessons carved in every line The world tried to fold me But I came back by design I was built to bend, not break Born for winds that shake I rise with every tremor Even stronger when I ache Like fire-forged fate I bend, but never break I was built to bend, not break
