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
