because I want to live it out, not die a living death complaining. Challenge: Let the last line of your quote be I'm Alive Example: I've held beige in my heart and black on my tongue. I've ripped the skin from lips as if they were pages, hoping to start a new chapter. I've mended my loopholes with rags that I once used to clean the blood on my body All the while, reassuring myself, this is real and this hurts because I'm alive. - YQ Muse
