Nobody talks about how estranged it feels to survive. You've fought battles in silence n picked yourself up when no one else noticed you'd fallen
Nobody talks about how growing up in a dysfunctional home makes it hard to dream big. You don't fantasize about fame or fortune,you dream of peace,of quiet mornings without tension
A dinner table where no one sits on eggshells and love stays even when it gets hard
Nobody talks about how you've been through things most people couldn't handle. Or how you dream of safety, not success, consistency, not chaos
Nobody talks about how you kept going when every part of you begged to stop cause when home was a battlefield, your biggest wish wasn't to escape the world
It was to build one where you finally felt safe .
