Welcome to the New Age

He wakes up with a storm in his chest. Feels the thunder where his heartbeat

rests. Eyes still burning from a lifetime's weight, but he's done

being trapped by yesterday's fate. Steps outside like a soldier reborn. Every bruise on

his soul becomes part of his form. They whisper his name like he's

doomed to fail. But he smirks, "Watch me rewrite my own tale." They say his

name with doubt in their voice. But he's learned pain can turn into choice.

Welcome to the new age. He's burning down the old cage, rising from the

wreckage. Welcome to the new age. No more hiding backstage.
