They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.14Please respect copyright.PENANAFzkjDrAVDs
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.14Please respect copyright.PENANAT44LxA8wIw
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.14Please respect copyright.PENANAMlKDVtv2n7
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.14Please respect copyright.PENANACTawoWXUgm
This life doesn't give.14Please respect copyright.PENANARLz09mVdBn
This life takes, and takes, and takes...14Please respect copyright.PENANAwV8wK6yBC1
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,14Please respect copyright.PENANANTATmW6KNf
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.14Please respect copyright.PENANAmUbywWJfrz
In the smell of your coat.14Please respect copyright.PENANACJhTegvIrV
In the pause before a song.14Please respect copyright.PENANAdF3CsPUIwn
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.14Please respect copyright.PENANAXjReGRF4zq
So I'll carry it.14Please respect copyright.PENANA9DwqS6VDsr
On tired shoulders.14Please respect copyright.PENANA0zfqEwe9rA
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—14Please respect copyright.PENANApOZmuluT4M
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.14Please respect copyright.PENANA1ucR4qzt0P
