They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.22Please respect copyright.PENANAB891YCp6Nj
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.22Please respect copyright.PENANAQbPuWBmuJR
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.22Please respect copyright.PENANANNxebYyM8C
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.22Please respect copyright.PENANAXKt0Ryz1Ni
This life doesn't give.22Please respect copyright.PENANAXd2OSjJGZ4
This life takes, and takes, and takes...22Please respect copyright.PENANAihZhJLAC1P
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,22Please respect copyright.PENANAngA0s41ZYH
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.22Please respect copyright.PENANA3EKBOobSXN
In the smell of your coat.22Please respect copyright.PENANA28Xsm7xwcQ
In the pause before a song.22Please respect copyright.PENANAj4sNHG3taU
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.22Please respect copyright.PENANAccAlysXmXp
So I'll carry it.22Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ymNPxSg5
On tired shoulders.22Please respect copyright.PENANAV2jHRMBiS3
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—22Please respect copyright.PENANAxitWCKJg8L
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.22Please respect copyright.PENANA3WW7U8oLfm
