They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.18Please respect copyright.PENANAMuzQ53cIze
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.18Please respect copyright.PENANARN6SQzDTPy
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.18Please respect copyright.PENANA1IUkDZidmx
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.18Please respect copyright.PENANAD7SayNznbE
This life doesn't give.18Please respect copyright.PENANAPgKhvrlUyK
This life takes, and takes, and takes...18Please respect copyright.PENANAlBsZgrkcLY
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,18Please respect copyright.PENANAMY63Pziblf
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.18Please respect copyright.PENANArEAWpfIQR8
In the smell of your coat.18Please respect copyright.PENANAU5kuCcZ1tR
In the pause before a song.18Please respect copyright.PENANADxiLmLxH6X
In a child's scream that sounds just like the one you buried years ago.
I didn't ask for this life.
But it's the only one I've got.18Please respect copyright.PENANA1HncAXTj0r
So I'll carry it.18Please respect copyright.PENANAc0Hrpfa3A9
On tired shoulders.18Please respect copyright.PENANAYsinnWtiX5
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—18Please respect copyright.PENANAFccaH8vbO4
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.18Please respect copyright.PENANABfVjpekDBD
