I don’t seek peace in this world
not the kind offered by comfort, control, or forgetting.
I carry the sword not to conquer, but to remember.

My blade was forged in silence, shaped by struggle, and tempered by the refusal to go numb.
I walk through a world that calls obedience peace, and distraction freedom
but I was born with a memory older than that.

I remember when peace meant dignity.
When truth wasn’t a liability.
When a man could build without being broken.

I don’t come to blend in. I don’t come to be handled.
I bring the sword that remembers what peace once meant and I will not let the world forget it.
