They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.17Please respect copyright.PENANAp02l5xM910
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.17Please respect copyright.PENANAOfEk1Weumf
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.17Please respect copyright.PENANAcns0458p4g
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.17Please respect copyright.PENANAEJrJ4gg0kp
This life doesn't give.17Please respect copyright.PENANA6ellYZX5mo
This life takes, and takes, and takes...17Please respect copyright.PENANAt8CQPrJag3
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,17Please respect copyright.PENANAnXIrYYjiRY
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.17Please respect copyright.PENANAcCIMBhcwAz
In the smell of your coat.17Please respect copyright.PENANA8qWQZbNSdi
In the pause before a song.17Please respect copyright.PENANAe4R0mt2Qfy
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.17Please respect copyright.PENANA9YdFuX4fer
So I'll carry it.17Please respect copyright.PENANAKTUfvqEri9
On tired shoulders.17Please respect copyright.PENANAm0EcnqcRm6
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—17Please respect copyright.PENANAJRKfIsrDDM
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.17Please respect copyright.PENANABRoNRW8M7m
