glad to be alive

I awake

Glad to be alive

After last night 

I wasn\'t sure I\'d survive 

 

The shouting

Pain and loneliness 

Lack of compassion 

Left me breathless 

 

Going through my morning

Making my tea

Putting on makeup

Telling myself I\'m pretty

 

A smile in the mirror

A heave of my backpack 

Now it\'s off to school

Where they cut me no slack 

 

Numbing my brain

Doing my best

I swear

I just need a rest 

 

From people 

From life

And then I wake up

Glad to be alive
