We live to die .

We try every day not to cry .

We mask our denial with a beautiful smile .

How can you trust again without being scared of the lust ?

You try to act calm so no one does you any harm .

You try to dream to escape from the screams .

I am left alone to battle the guilt that was built on years of suffering where tears weren’t free to flow , maybe that’s why I’m struggling to grow .

The truth is I was never meant to thrive , I was born to survive !

I really don’t think the title fits any ideas to change it would be appreciated :)
