you say the cost of living keeps rising so people keep dying. if that's true, then why should we bother trying? growing up in small town usa, the only opportunities for work are dangerous and offer very little pay. if you dont have thick skin, you won't be able to make it through the day. I need you to say that you believe I have a choice. that you think people will listen to what i have to say if i raise my voice. I don't want to leave, but i know i can't stay. if i want a chance to live, i'll need to live life my way
