They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.43Please respect copyright.PENANAtDdQUvuJq2
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.43Please respect copyright.PENANAw7PQHrjAMt
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.43Please respect copyright.PENANAJStg6yYOsx
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.43Please respect copyright.PENANANnKQUdEreV
This life doesn't give.43Please respect copyright.PENANARd7jWulHAL
This life takes, and takes, and takes...43Please respect copyright.PENANAnQKMhlDntV
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,43Please respect copyright.PENANAyBVTN3iETA
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.43Please respect copyright.PENANAu8FugmWexr
In the smell of your coat.43Please respect copyright.PENANAIaFQrIu9mN
In the pause before a song.43Please respect copyright.PENANAoH4lKR83JK
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.43Please respect copyright.PENANAa3kHzCBzSG
So I'll carry it.43Please respect copyright.PENANAsKb29M8hLK
On tired shoulders.43Please respect copyright.PENANA7plkFkCBfh
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—43Please respect copyright.PENANA3ThFYCjDXK
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.43Please respect copyright.PENANAiC68ysBLEb
