They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.25Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ5G09wlMV
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.25Please respect copyright.PENANA8gDXBorARD
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.25Please respect copyright.PENANAVF0171ahFV
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.25Please respect copyright.PENANAg2hRr0NMye
This life doesn't give.25Please respect copyright.PENANA79Xj6Z7V6r
This life takes, and takes, and takes...25Please respect copyright.PENANAo21qW3SC9M
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,25Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ugEQEJzG
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.25Please respect copyright.PENANA879ad6GiTC
In the smell of your coat.25Please respect copyright.PENANA3aRwhmOmEL
In the pause before a song.25Please respect copyright.PENANAmo70H1lw41
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.25Please respect copyright.PENANALCEpswJYCp
So I'll carry it.25Please respect copyright.PENANAEBzAiA9GAH
On tired shoulders.25Please respect copyright.PENANADqQDNUeuTo
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—25Please respect copyright.PENANAF7hGmDhxvK
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.25Please respect copyright.PENANACqFmtrbx9X
