So I win...

I don’t care where you are since you’re not here

I still survive the days

I smile

I laugh

I burst in flames

I drown

I sink

I float

I scream this silence inside me

I can always feel your eyes on me

So I win

I still feel, I feel more than ever

So I win

I have become a cliché

…I don’t care

I have loved you and that’s my heritage

It’s who I am now

I am no longer a teacher

I’m not a friend

I’m not a daughter

I’m not a lover

I’m not clever or beautiful

I’m in love, that’s who I am and not what.

So I win…
