my summer bucket list
consists of one item:
keep fighting
even on the days when i feel like i already lost the battle
before it started
keep swimming
even when i'm so deep under the water
that drowning is the easiest choice
keep breathing
even while my lungs are compressed in my chest
collapsing from all the pressure
keep living
even though the world has given me every reason to die
keep living
even when my life is crumbling and reduced to rubble
keep living
because the darkness can't win
i
won't
let
it

even when my life is crumbling and reduced to rubble
keep living
because the darkness can't win
i

let
it
the world is better with you in it. i promise.
