Monologue

I'm here to talk about pain

There's many of us who carry a great burden inside behind that warm smile yet nobody could tell based on the outside

And sometimes that burden gets so heavy, but you just learn to push through the pain, no matter how hard it might feel

Because you know that the only way is forward

I lift my arms up in the sky

Pray and beg to anyone nearby

Can't you hear my cries

I'm done doing my time

This is my battle cry

Learned survival through the trials

It's hard being kind in this ice-cold world that bows to plastic, greed and lies
