Weightless

The sound hits the ground
Breath comes back in

Steps move forward without tension
The floor answers when I lean
What once burned stays underneath me
Warm enough to keep me moving

Nothing calling from behind me
Nothing pulling at my pace
Memory stays where it belongs now
Not erased, just in its place

The weight releases, ground stays firm
Balance holds, no crown returns

Moving light, not disappearing
Hands stay open, grip undone
Not above it, not below it
Just the rhythm carrying on

Every breath lands where it should now
Every step already clear
This is motion without armor
This is walking without fear

Marks remain but stop commanding
No demand to prove or burn
Fire learned another language
Warm enough to let me turn

Nothing owed to what came before
Nothing borrowed from what's next
Standing here without correction
No defense left to protect

The weight releases, spine stays strong
Forward feels where I belong

Moving light, not disappearing
Hands stay open, grip undone
Not above it, not below it
Just the rhythm carrying on

Every breath lands where it should now
Every step already clear
This is motion without armor
This is walking without fear

Still moving
Still intact
The crown stayed down
I didn't look back
