I don't want to wear Resilience as a badge anymore And honestly I wonder when Resilience because such a compliment. Like, why do I have to Barely thrive to survive or feel praised? And when did society start To see hardship as a metric of accolade? I don't need another thing To solidify my strength I just want to live in peace. To be. To breathe. I'm so tired of being tough When is resilience resilient enough? I don't want to wear this crown. I just want to go lay down. ©KSS 6/2024
