When your breaths caught

 

And your thoughts stop

 

You learn things society never taught

 

How to fell numb

 

To stop the pain

 

Because the fear made you feel like a crumb

 

How to fight

 

To stand up for yourself

 

Not with but for your might

 

How to give

 

To be selfless

 

Because you don’t even want to live

 

Hot to act

 

To fit in

 

Because you made a ‘smile’ pact
