They Thought Your Reaction Would Give Them Power, Your Silence Took It All Away

you know they're counting on you to lose it yeah they want you to blow up break down and give them the satisfaction of seeing you crumble they're salivating at the thought of your rage your tears your desperation that's the kind of power they crave it's cheap like a pickpocket stealing coins instead of earning them but you oh you're smarter than that aren't you you've got something they'll never understand your silence see silence isn't weakness no it's a weapon a shield a stage it's where the real battle begins when you stop reacting when you pull the

rug out from under their pathetic little plans you strip them bare suddenly their power their control it's gone like smoke it disappears into the void and all they're left with is their own reflection empty powerless pathetic You' felt it haven't you that need to scream to fight to defend yourself oh they're counting on it they've rehearsed the scene in their heads a thousand times you'll say this and I'll say that and then I'll win that's their game a game of reactions but silence silence is a game they don't know how to play Let me paint

you a picture imagine a puppet master strings in hand smirking as their little marionette dances now imagine the puppet cuts the strings Dead Silence the smirk Fades the crowd gasps and the master they're just a fool holding useless strings that's you the puppet who stops dancing the silence that leaves them powerless but silence isn't just about shutting up no it's a message a roar without sound it says You Don't Own Me you don't Define me I'm not your puppet it's the ultimate power move a chest piece they never saw coming you know why they hate

silence because it forces them to face themselves and trust me they won't like what they see silence is a mirror and most people can't stand their reflection they'll try to fill the void to drown out the quiet with noise with lies with blame but it's too late your silence has already exposed them think about this a lion doesn't Roar to scare the jungle it's silent stalking watching and when it strikes the jungle remembers silence is your jungle it's where you plot where you grow stronger let them laugh let them mock they're hyenas loud and obnoxious

living off scraps but you you're the lion every time you stay silent you're reminding them that they don't matter their words their actions they're just noise in a world you've already conquered and the best part they can't handle it they'll twist and squirm trying to provoke you to pull you back into their little circus but you won't you'll stand there silent unshaken a fortress they can't breach oh but don't get me wrong silence isn't about weakness or Surrender is about control your control they can't manipulate what they can't predict and when you stop reacting you

become a mystery a puzzle they'll never solve that's power you want proof look at history the strongest revolutions the Great greatest movements they didn't start with screams they started with Silence with people standing together unbroken unyielding silence is the seed of change the spark of Revolution and here's the thing about silence it's not for them it's for you it's your Sanctuary your weapon your Declaration of Independence it's you saying I don't need your validation your approval your games I'm enough you think they care about you they don't they care about control your reaction feeds their

illusion of power but when you stay silent when you refuse use to play their game you take that power back and that scares them oh it terrifies them because deep down they know the truth their power isn't real it's borrowed stolen a shadow of what you carry inside and your silence it shines a spotlight on their lives their weaknesses they'll call you cold distant heartless good let them because silence isn't about pleasing others it's about protecting yourself your peace your strength so let them think they've won let them celebrate your silence as their Victory they

won't realize until it's too late your silence isn't surrender it's a storm gathering strength and when it breaks when you decide to speak to act the world will remember but until then let the silence speak for you let it scream louder than their words ever could because silence isn't empty it's full of power of defiance of unshakable strength they thought your reaction would give them power but your silence it took it all away Oh They'll hate it you know you're silence it's like a splinter in their minds a nagging itch they can't scratch they'll twist

themselves into knots trying to figure it out why aren't they reacting AC ing why aren't they shouting back are they planning something and oh the paranoia it's a delicious thing to watch isn't it their minds unraveling under the weight of their own insecurities but don't get me wrong this silence I'm talking about it's not passive it's not the Silence of a the victim who's too scared to fight no this is the Silence of someone who's done fighting pointless battles someone who's moved past the petty games and the need to prove themselves to anyone it's a

silence that screams I don't owe you anything you see the world is loud too loud everyone's shouting desperate to be heard desperate to matter but in all that noise do you know what stands out quiet Stillness a person who doesn't need to scream to make their presence known that's what you're becoming a force a storm that doesn't need Thunder to be felt let me tell you a little secret people are afraid of Silence because it forces them to listen to themselves that's why they hate it when you're silent your silence isn't just about ignoring them

no it's a mirror and when they look into it what do they see their own ugliness their own own fears their own weaknesses that's what they're really fighting not you never you they're fighting themselves and you you're just holding up the mirror let's talk about control for a second shall we they think control comes from domination from getting a rise out of you but real control real power hour it's about staying unbothered it's about sitting back while they dance around trying to provoke you and you just don't you let them Tire themselves out like a

child throwing a tantrum and when they're done you're still standing calm Untouchable you know silence is the scariest response of all a scream is predictable a shout is comforting even an insult gives them something to hold on to but silence silence is a void and people fear the void because it's unknown uncontrollable your silence isn't just a lack of noise it's a declaration it says I see you I understand you and you're not worth my energy think of it like this they're standing in front of a locked door banging on it screaming demanding you open

it but you you're on the other side calm unshaken sipping your drink they don't even know if you're still there and that that drives them mad they wanted a fight they wanted chaos instead you gave them nothing and nothing nothing is more powerful than they'll ever understand let me give you a practical example you ever see those people online throwing hate around like confetti they thrive on reactions every comment every reply it's fuel for their fire but when you ignore them when you leave their words hanging in the void unanswered they burn out their fire

dies because you didn't give it air that's what your silence does it starves them oh they'll try to twist it they'll call you weak passive scared but deep down they know the truth they know your silence is strength it's restraint it's you saying I could destroy you but I won't not because I can't but because you're not worth it but here's the thing about silence it's not easy oh no it's the hardest thing you'll ever do because every part of you will want to fight back to prove them wrong to make them feel what you

feel but you have to resist you have to stay still stay quiet stay strong that's what makes it powerful and it's not about them it never was your silence it's for you it's your armor your Sanctuary it's where you heal where you grow where you become something they can't touch they thought your reaction would give them power but but your silence your silence took it all away it left them exposed vulnerable powerless and that that's the real Victory not the scream not the fight but the quiet unshakable strength of someone who doesn't need to prove

anything to anyone oh but you're not convinced yet are you you think your silence won't change a thing that they'll just move on find another Target another way to twist the knife but let me tell you something they won't not really you see they've invested too much in you you're their Obsession their Masterpiece they're proof that they can break someone but when you don't break when you stay quiet and let their schemes rot in the filth they came from that eats them alive let's dig deeper imagine a chessboard they're the player and they think you're

their Pawn they move you respond they win you lose that's their game but what happens when the pawn stops moving when the board is frozen and their opponent just walks away they're left sitting there staring at a lifeless game they don't know what to do because their power only exists in the game and you you've stepped off the board they'll tell you silence is weakness that you're running away but let me ask you this who's really running is it you standing firm in your silence or is it them scrambling for ways to make you react

they're the ones running from their own insignificance their own emptiness you're not running you're refusing to play their pathetic little games and that that terrifies them here's the Dirty Little Secret they don't want you to know they're scared of you oh they'll never admit it they'll laugh mock belittle but deep down in the darkest corners of their minds they're terrified why because they know you're stronger than them they know you've endured more than they ever could and your silence it's the proof they can't deny look at them they thrive on control on Chaos on reactions

they're Predators feeding off fear and pain but you you're not prey you're the storm the hurricane that doesn't need to scream to be heard they can't fight what they can't predict can't control your silence is their defeat their nightmare you want to talk about power real power isn't in the loudest Voice or the sharpest blade it's in the unshaken will of someone who refuses to be moved it's in the quiet strength of a person who doesn't need to fight to win that's what you have that's what they'll never understand you're thinking about them now aren't

you the ones who hurt you betrayed you underestimated you oh they thought they'd broken you they thought they'd won but here you are standing taller stronger colder and it's driving them insane every moment you stay silent every time you refuse to react It's Like a Knife twisting in their gut they can't stand it they need you to fight back to scream to give them proof that they matter but you won't because they don't let me tell you a story there was a man once loud Brash always reacting he thought that's what strength was meeting fire

with fire blow for blow but do you know what happened he burned out he gave everything he had and it still wasn't enough because that's the Trap they don't want to win they want to drain you to wear you down until there's nothing left but the man who learns to be silent to save his energy to let the noise pass him by that man wins every time think about it what's louder a person screaming into the void or the void itself silence isn't the absence of noise it's the presence of something deeper something stronger it's

the Calm before the storm the Stillness that makes the world stop and take notice and you you're the void the storm the silence that speaks louder than any scream ever could they'll come for you again oh they always do they'll poke and PR trying to find the cracks but here's the beauty of it the more they try the more they reveal about themselves and you you stay silent watching waiting not because you're weak but because you're strong enough to know that not every battle is worth fighting oh they thought your reaction would give them power

but your silence it's taken everything from them their control their satisfaction their sense of superiority it's all gone and they'll never admit it but they know they know they've lost because silence isn't just a response it's a statement it's you saying I'm untouchable I'm unbreakable and you you don't matter keep your silence Let It Be Your strength your weapon your Declaration of power they thought they'd own you but they were wrong and now now they'll spend the rest of their lives trying to understand how they lost and you you'll be free you know what silence

does to people like them it unravels them it's a slow torturous thing like a drop of water that carves through Stone they can't handle it because it forces them to deal with the one thing they're most terrified of of themselves think about it they thrive on noise on Chaos on making you feel small so they can feel big but when you go silent when you refuse to give them the satisfaction of your anger your pain your tears oh that's when the mask slips that's when they in Securities come crawling out of the Shadows whispering in

their ears reminding them of everything they're not you see people like that they don't have power not real power their so-called strength comes from tearing others down it's borrowed stolen like a thief rumaging through pockets for loose change but you you don't need to steal anything your silence tells them that you're whole that you don't need their games to Define who you are oh but they'll test you they'll push every button pull every string they'll try to drag you back into their world where they think they can win but here's the trick you don't play

their game you don't let them set the rules and that's what kills them let me give you an example picture a dog barking behind a fence loud aggressive trying to intimidate anyone who walks by most people stop yell back try to scare it off but what happens if you just keep walking what happens if you don't even glance its way The Barking stops the dog realizes it's noise means nothing to you that's them barking shouting desperate for your attention and you you're the one who keeps walking but don't mistake silence for passivity oh no silence

is far more dangerous than any Outburst it's calculated deliberate it's you saying I could destroy you but I choose not to not because I'm weak but because you're not worth my energy that's the kind of Silence that shakes people to their core and let me tell you something they know oh they know they'll pretend they don't laugh it off call you names try to bait you but deep down in The Quiet Moments when they're alone with their thoughts they feel it the void you've left behind the power you've taken back you ever notice how the

loudest people are usually the weakest they shout they brag they make a scene but it's all a cover a desperate attempt to hide how hollow they really are true strength it doesn't need to announce itself it doesn't need Applause or validation it just is and that's what your silence does it shows them that you don't need their approval their games their noise you know why they hate you because you're everything they wish they could be strong resilient Untouchable your silence is a mirror and when they look into it all they see is their own weakness

that's why they'll keep coming for you trying to drag you down trying to make you react but you you'll stay silent you'll stand tall and with every second that passes you'll become something they can never be free oh they thought they could control you didn't they thought they could manipulate you break you turn turn you into another one of their little puppets but here you are cutting the strings walking away leaving them floundering in their own emptiness that's the beauty of Silence it doesn't just protect you it destroys them you see silence isn't just the

absence of sound it's the presence of power it's a statement a choice it says I don't need to prove myself to you I don't need to justify who I am or what I've been through I am enough and you you are nothing they thought your reaction would give them power but your silence it's taken everything from them their control their confidence their delusions of grandeur and now now they're left with nothing but their own emptiness staring into the abyss you've created but don't stop now don't let their noise pull you back in keep walking keep

growing keep building a life so strong so full that their opinions their games their existence becomes irrelevant they'll hate you for it you know for for Rising above them for refusing to play their games for showing them that they were never as powerful as they thought but that's the price of Freedom that's the cost of true strength and you you're strong enough to pay it oh you think Silence Is Easy you think it's just about shutting your mouth and walking away no no no silence isn't passive it's War a war fought in the shadows in

the quiet corners of your mind where their words Echo like ghosts trying to haunt you trying to drag you back but here's the thing every time you choose silence you're winning that war every time you hold back you're taking another piece of their power and keeping it for yourself let me break it down for you silence isn't just about not reacting it's about Mastery Mastery over yourself your emotions your impulses and trust me that kind of Mastery it's rare most people are slaves to their emotions puppets to their anger Their Fear their pride but not

you not anymore you're learning to rise above it to see the bigger picture and that that makes you Unstoppable do you know why they push you why they poke and prod and try to get under your skin it's not just to hurt you no it's because they need your reaction to validate their existence without you they're nothing just empty shells shouting into the void hoping someone anyone will hear them your reaction is their Lifeline but when you stay silent when you give them nothing you're cutting that lifeline and oh how they'll squirm let me tell

you a little story there was a king once a great warrior feared by all but his enemies knew his weakness his temper so they set a trap they insulted him provoked him made him lash out and in his rage he fell right into their hands they didn't defeat him with swords or armies they defeated him with his own emotions but you you're smarter than that you see the trap for what it is and instead of stepping into it you step back silent unshaken that's real power silence isn't just a weapon it's a mirror when you

go quiet you're forcing them to face themselves and most people they can't stand their own reflection they'll do anything to avoid it shout louder play dirtier try harder to drag you down but that's their problem not yours your silence says I see you for what you are and you don't scare me think about the strongest people you've ever known were they the loudest the most reactive no they were calm composed unshaken by the storms around them that's what you're becoming that's what they'll never be and and that's why they hate you because your silence is

proof of a strength they'll never understand but don't misunderstand me silence isn't about suppressing your emotions or pretending you don't care it's about channeling that energy that pain into to something greater it's about taking the fire they tried to burn you with and using it to light your own path it's about turning their poison into your power you ever hear the saying revenge is a dish best served cold well silence is colder than ice it's not about laugh in out or getting even it's about Rising so far above them that their existence becomes irrelevant they'll

keep screaming into the void and you you'll be too busy building your Empire to even notice they thought they had you figured out didn't they thought they could control you break you turn you into a shadow of yourself but they didn't realize who they were dealing with you're not just anyone you're the storm they didn't see coming the silence that drowns out their noise the void that consumes their power let them think they've won let them celebrate their little victories their meaningless games because while they're busy playing in the dirt you're Rising higher stronger Untouchable

and one day they'll look up and realize they've been left behind that's the beauty of Silence it doesn't just protect you it propels you forward you want to know the truth the world is full of noise everyone's shouting trying to be heard trying to matter but you you don't need to shout you don't need to prove anything to anyone your silence says it all I am enough I am more than enough and you you're nothing Oh They'll hate you for it they'll call you cold arrogant heartless good let them because their opinions don't Define you

their words don't shape you you are who you choose to be and no one not them not anyone can take that away from you they thought your reaction would give them power but your silence it took everything from them their control their confidence their illusions of superiority and now now they're left with nothing but their own emptiness and you you're free so keep walking keep Rising let your silence be your Shield your weapon your Declaration of strength they'll never understand it but that's not your problem your silence isn't for them it's for you and in

the end that's all that matters [Music]
