“Sacrifice.”

There is nothing more gut-wrenching

Than a child who makes sacrifices for their parents.


She wants the world
But I can only give her this room
She wants to laugh
But I can only make her smile
She wants to live
But it’s all I can do to keep her alive.
I know he’s tired
And so, I play quietly to let him sleep
I know he’s trying
And so, I cherish everything he’s bought for me
I know he wants to give me the world
But this room, this smile, this life
It’s enough for me.

Maybe if we pool our despair together, it won't seem so bad.
