How do you say you're screaming internally when no one else seems to see that you're drowning?
How do you keep trying, trying to do the right thing, to follow the rules, to keep life fair, keep watching, watching as everyone that cheats and lies gets everything while you still have Nothing
How do you keep giving away your heart, over and over, smiling at strangers, held together with bandaids over gaping wounds, holding onto coping mechanisms like internalizing everything
How can you say you're burning, burning from the inside, your chest is too tight and your brain is too wound, and you're not sleeping again and it definitely shows...
How can you keep going, going, Energizer bunny this **** because you have to, you have a mouth to feed that isn't yours and you can't give up
But how can you fight for your life when it keeps kicking you back down?
