They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.27Please respect copyright.PENANAO8D5tjPY53
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.27Please respect copyright.PENANAfP8kdDeAYQ
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.27Please respect copyright.PENANAFxGNalCkIm
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.27Please respect copyright.PENANAh688diQFRf
This life doesn't give.27Please respect copyright.PENANAOKAuGxp8PN
This life takes, and takes, and takes...27Please respect copyright.PENANABlR4kRLPFj
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,27Please respect copyright.PENANAfhtArDW1bT
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.27Please respect copyright.PENANAROLREgyNQr
In the smell of your coat.27Please respect copyright.PENANAbsXZIh1SjW
In the pause before a song.27Please respect copyright.PENANAOHJgkh3S4k
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.27Please respect copyright.PENANAGAvxp8qf6F
So I'll carry it.27Please respect copyright.PENANAcehJo0R7kp
On tired shoulders.27Please respect copyright.PENANAFvtdNLjt7n
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—27Please respect copyright.PENANAEIoxDAT6Qf
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.27Please respect copyright.PENANAujdavtpvYw
