I was raised by storm and shadow, by rooms where mercy failed, by broken blood and bitter mouths, by prayers that went unveiled. Yet somewhere in the wasteland a silver breath remained— not pure, not damned, not conquered, but listening through the pain. I walked the sunset fire, I wore the midnight crown. I learned that truth is holy when all false gods fall down. Raven Child, rise from the hollow, black-winged heart in a world gone blind. Raven Child, grief made you follow the hidden door inside the heart. Not lost, not saved by another— self-forged soul; rain-bringer. In love and truth, in dusk and thunder, cry, O Raven Child, cry! I have loved beyond the body, I have buried half my sun. I have spoken with the silence when the living world was done. I have chosen faith with open eyes, not because I know— but because a wandering spirit needs a star by which to go. I do not kneel to idols. I do not mock the flame. I stand between the ruins and call each wound by name. Raven Child, rise from the rubble, black-winged heart in a world gone deaf. Raven Child, grief made you follow the hidden door inside the mind. Not lost, not saved by another— self-forged soul; storm-caller. In love and truth, in dusk and thunder, sing, O Raven Child, sing! I am not the mask they made me. I am not the grave I crossed. I am not the fear that chained me. I am not the years they lost. I am watcher, wound, and witness. I am hunger turned to art. I am exile seeking wholeness with a raven in my heart. So let the waste-born stars guide me, let the badlands know my path. I have built a hidden temple from the ashes of legends and myth. Neither angel, beast, nor beggar— neither saint nor unrepentant — just a soul that would not vanish, just the dusk’s own Raven Child. Raven Child, rise from the dust, black-winged heart in a world gone mad. Raven Child, grief made you follow the hidden door inside the words. Not lost, not saved by another— self-forged soul; wind-walker. In love and truth, in dusk and thunder, rise, O Raven Child, rise! Shhh… listen. Your wings were never outside you. Your wings are waiting to be unfurled.
