They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.109Please respect copyright.PENANAHppFd5qnl8
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.109Please respect copyright.PENANA8TpvzBiwUC
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.109Please respect copyright.PENANAsgmGidlnxs
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5UGcI0bYx
This life doesn't give.109Please respect copyright.PENANAsrrmfFXEdv
This life takes, and takes, and takes...109Please respect copyright.PENANADpoL8pOszv
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,109Please respect copyright.PENANAAyvqSRX3lo
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.109Please respect copyright.PENANA82QMIgVCZZ
In the smell of your coat.109Please respect copyright.PENANAYzvCvSA1Yk
In the pause before a song.109Please respect copyright.PENANAVlHyb87GpM
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.109Please respect copyright.PENANAilTqEFm0Tj
So I'll carry it.109Please respect copyright.PENANAlBflfZokAF
On tired shoulders.109Please respect copyright.PENANAGzfte5Q8LA
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—109Please respect copyright.PENANAd7J0EG1Rha
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.109Please respect copyright.PENANAVYxIt4bTzh
