They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.21Please respect copyright.PENANA8h3Dy31J7m
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.21Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmBMbPvVa
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.21Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lf7pYiVma
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.21Please respect copyright.PENANAIGPbZvTKhg
This life doesn't give.21Please respect copyright.PENANAaif7uKcuNw
This life takes, and takes, and takes...21Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Bqv1PWVt
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,21Please respect copyright.PENANAI7dab6gaqm
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.21Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4pgfXxKMk
In the smell of your coat.21Please respect copyright.PENANAaxXTUns7oM
In the pause before a song.21Please respect copyright.PENANAVHWdi3VILe
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.21Please respect copyright.PENANA9zi1h0IgpV
So I'll carry it.21Please respect copyright.PENANAapAD7kQ2N3
On tired shoulders.21Please respect copyright.PENANAZmDF9INaLG
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—21Please respect copyright.PENANA3GlbEYHFYW
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.21Please respect copyright.PENANAUV1Q3kmDiD
