They say life is a blessing.
But I've watched blessings rot before they bloom.29Please respect copyright.PENANAbHcTIiUhUG
I've seen mothers sleep through their children's breaking.29Please respect copyright.PENANA6hOI2lCinP
I've seen girls learn silence before they learn to write.29Please respect copyright.PENANAKBXwS7Ez00
I've seen sisters cry into cracked mirrors, wiping blood off their smiles before school.
So no—
This life isn't kind.29Please respect copyright.PENANAkh3Y0K0K2G
This life doesn't give.29Please respect copyright.PENANAT9b7DpXnQ1
This life takes, and takes, and takes...29Please respect copyright.PENANAMy71unjtZl
Until you have nothing left to lose.
And when you finally start to run,29Please respect copyright.PENANA0PoUWL0rjS
when you finally learn to breathe outside the wreckage,
the past doesn't let you.
It follows you.29Please respect copyright.PENANAFtUFfdgwmx
In the smell of your coat.29Please respect copyright.PENANAkE0X39MqyF
In the pause before a song.29Please respect copyright.PENANA6nF4UaM1kF
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.29Please respect copyright.PENANACR1kpe5sDF
So I'll carry it.29Please respect copyright.PENANAzd3giUzAyG
On tired shoulders.29Please respect copyright.PENANAq5tNTX6zSU
With shaking hands.
And if it refuses to be grateful for me—29Please respect copyright.PENANAoM8l9TSzrA
I won't beg.
I'll survive it anyway.29Please respect copyright.PENANA5x0sXyGvP1
