DYING TO SURVIVE

Don't call this survival my dear
You are dying to survive

No breaks, no sleep, no joy
Just hustle every single day

Your relationship is toxic
Even your job

You eat, sleep and live anyhow
To you, health is luxury

You turn your pain into content
So you can feel seen and supported

You beg for attention, love and validation
Just to feel human for a moment

You literally borrow your way through life
Doing anything for money

You endure daily insults and humiliation from people
Just because you want to eat

Hospital no dey for budget
You care less about your mental and physical health

You smile with cracked lips and tired eyes
Just to keep going

You're not living my dear
You're just existing
Dying to survive .
