How we continue
Life never asked what I could bear
It only kept adding weight
I broke in places no one saw
Still, morning knocked every day.
Grief made a house in my chest
Hope paid rent one breath at a time
Some nights, I envied the dark
It never had to pretend.
I wore smiles like borrowed skin
My silence learned every scream
Yet the cracks refused to close
So I learned to breathe through them.
