Bilingual
I found a book in silent dust
The spine that whispered break your trust
Its pages breathe like living skin
Inviting me to look within
No spells of fire, no sacred right
Just truths that cut away the night
And every line I dare to trace
Unraveled something in my mind
It didn't teach me how to rule
It taught me how I've been a fool
The book rewrote the shape of me
It showed the cost of what we see
No charms, no tricks, no midnight flame
Just every flaw I tried to tame
It turned my gaze on what I hide
A mirror sharpened from inside
I opened it to learn the key
It opened me
It spoke of love that bends the spine
Of choices carved in crooked lines
It showed how longing chains the will
How silence teaches deeper still
Each chapter held a quiet wound
A lesson neither late nor soon
And as I read, I understood
Why some truths never do us good
It wasn't magic meant to shine
It was the shadow cast by mine
The book rewrote the shape of me
It showed the cost of what we see
No charms, no tricks, no midnight flame
Just every flaw I tried to tame
It turned my gaze on what I hide
A mirror sharpened from inside
I opened it to learn the key
It opened me
If wisdom cuts, then let it stay
If sorrow speaks, I'll hear its way
I closed the book, but still it writes
Across my choices, days, and nights
The book rewrote the shape of me
It didn't ask, it didn't plea
It stripped illusions from my name
And left me clearer, not the same
No spell was cast, no fate was freed
Just truth distilled into a creed
I sought its words to finally see
It saw through me
