To a Foundation - by Aaron Gaulding I don’t come clean, I come earned, Hands have been rough, heart well-learned. I’ve slept with silence, woke up strong, carried weight way too long.

No savior talk, no ego play, just two grown truths standing face-to-face. I don’t need your body to feel the flame. Your presence already says my name.
