Soft is NOT Safe!

They warned you about sharp things;
blades, claws, teeth.
But no one warned them about softness sharpened by intent.
But no one warned them about you.
Soft like bruised fruit left on an altar.
Soft like an open wound.
Soft like the ocean before a storm.

They always underestimate what doesn’t scream first.
You let them monologue.
You let them condescend.
They thought your silence was submission, not strategy.
They mistook your mercy for surrender.
Your stillness for a straightjacket.

But you?
You’ve been binding stormlight in silk.
You’ve been soaking your sleeves in moonwater and venom.
You’ve been doing the real work:
Turning ache into armor.
Love into liturgy.
Grief into grit.

Because you?
You cast with cracked hands and tired eyes.
You cast with glitter that cuts and mascara that runs like warpaint.
You cry and hex in the same breath.
Let the world chase hardness.
Let them sharpen themselves into weapons they can’t even wield.
We know better.

This isn’t about being cruel.
This is about being dangerous with grace.
Unpredictable. Sacred. Feral.

You are not here to be palatable.
You are not here to be understood.
You are here to dismantle the cage from the inside, with lace gloves and lightning.

So stay soft.
Stay haunted.
Stay holy.
But never let them think you’re harmless.

You are velvet with a pulse.
You are silk stitched with runes.
You are the storm dressed for ritual.

And they should be scared.

Not because you’re violent.
But because you’re kind when you didn’t need to be.
Because you’re kind… and still dangerous.
