clinging to the wreckage of civilization
Meaning: Inner strength, endurance, sacred fortitude
Not all stars are soft.
The Iron Star burns in silence—its light is forged, not found.
This is the rite of the unshaken soul.
Stand with feet firm and eyes steady.
Speak one thing you will not yield.
Let the words become your blade.
Do not seek peace today—seek resolve.
Peace will follow.
But first, be the wall that holds.
At night, mark your chest with ash, earth, or ink.
Say: “I am still.”
And let the stars witness your vow.
