What is real to me Is not real to you The weight on my back You can’t see from your angle I must be so bored To complain so **** often As my spine starts to give out Pain trickles down each vertebrae I must want attention When you ask why my feet ache I tell you how a man filled my backpack with stones Oh! You know who i’m talking about! What a piece of **** right? Oh. He would never do such a thing Well, Because, He’s never done that to you. That must mean my story’s not true. I must be so sick And ****** in the head To be crying at night from the soreness years later You’d think i’d adjust to the workout Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. Who would want to be around someone with such a bad limp? It’s just easier to stay in bed. Then the pain is just mine. And nobody gets to have an opinion on if it’s real or not.

it can feel impossible, being a survivor on your own.
