Текст песни

You traced a future for me
In lines I didn’t draw
Told me who I should become
And what I should ignore

You dressed me up in silence
Said it suited me just fine
Called it love and guidance
While erasing every sign

Of the girl who had opinions
Of the girl who questioned “why”
You said she was too fragile
To survive outside the line

But something in my bloodstream
Never learned to kneel
You can polish up the surface
You can’t dictate what I feel

I am not your invention
Not your version of my name
Not a mirror for your comfort
Not a player in your game

You can try to shape the story
You can try to set the frame
But I am not your invention
I was fire before the flame

You said my worth was measured
By how softly I comply
By how little space I’m taking
By how rarely I defy

Every time I raised my voice
You called it disrespect
Every boundary I built
You tried hard to correct

But strength was never given
It was something I became
In every silent moment
When I carried all the blame

Now the air feels different
Now the ground feels mine
You can’t cage a consciousness
That’s learned to redefine

I am not your invention
Not your safety net or shield
Not the daughter of submission
Not the wound that never healed

You can keep your expectations
You can keep your narrow frame
I am not your invention
And I will not be tamed

I am not the echo
Of the rules you wrote for me
I am not the shadow
Of who you need me to be

You built a world of limits
But I learned to break design
The moment I stopped asking
If the future could be mine

I am not your invention
Not your silence dressed as grace
Not the fear you planted
Hoping I would stay in place

You don’t get to name my power
You don’t get to claim my flame
I was born with my own voice
And I will sign it with my name
