heavy is the crown

I have nothing to offer you

except recycled pain.

damaged 

fragile &

pathetic

We toast to the future

and regret the past

but history repeats itself

and here we are.

Feign a smile

hide the tears

count the days

& dread the years.

You didn't earn this sentence

but you wear it well

You didn't earn this heartache

but you wear it well
