Yeah…
Still here.

They threw weight on my back like I’d cave on command
Tried to turn every bruise into proof I was done
But pressure taught my bones how to carry the night
And I learned how to stand where the fire would run

Every scar got a story
Every cut left a light
I got dragged through the dark
Still I walked out upright

Deep breath—
Hold fast—
Some roots outlive the ash.

I bent, I bruised, I hit the floor
But I came back heavier than before.

I didn’t go down easy
Didn’t fade, didn’t fold
They can talk about the damage
But they’ll never say I broke

I didn’t go down easy
I made peace with the weight
If they thought the storm could bury me—
They forgot what I’m made of.

Cold hands tried to shape me into something small
Tried to make my silence mean I’d given in
But some souls don’t soften when the pressure drops
They just find a deeper place to start again

Every doubt went hollow
Every fear lost skin
I got truth in my chest
And a fire under it

Hold still—
Stand tall—
I survived it all.

I bent, I bruised, I paid the cost
But I came back louder than what I lost.

I didn’t go down easy
Didn’t fade, didn’t fold
They can talk about the damage
But they’ll never say I broke

I didn’t go down easy
I made peace with the weight
If they thought the storm could bury me—
They forgot what I’m made of.

I got mercy in my blood
I got miles in my soul
I got thunder in the wound
And a heart that won’t let go

No halo—
No disguise—
Just survival in my eyes.

I didn’t go down easy
Didn’t fade, didn’t fold
They can talk about the damage
But they’ll never say I broke

I didn’t go down easy
I made peace with the weight
If they thought the storm could bury me—
They forgot what I’m made of.

Didn’t go down…
easy.
