©️Angelina Maria 2026 No one asks the earth its cost Holding all the ones it lost No one asks me what I keep Buried far beneath my sleep They arrive with open hands I give more than I had planned They leave whole, I disappear Fading out year after year How am I supposed to heal When I hide all the things I feel They drink me like a river runs Like I am made for everyone Like shores don’t break, don’t wash away Like I am built to give away They love me like I have the cure While I stand bleeding, unsure They take the fruit, ignore the root Never care to face the truth Now the light can’t reach my view They don’t know me… never knew I’m not a place their meant to stay I’m simply passing on my way Still they built their lives in me Hung their hope on this broken tree Roots are dying underground Still I stand, still I hold ground Like a hymn that lost its sound Still I sing without a crown And the cruelest part of this Is how natural it all is They drink me like a river runs Like I am made for everyone Like shores don’t break, don’t wash away Like I am built to give away They love me like I have the cure While I stand bleeding, unsure They take the fruit, ignore the root Never care to face the truth Now the light can’t reach my view They don’t know me… never knew Quiet graves beneath my skin All the places I have been Every piece I gave away Never thought I’d see the day Then I woke, I felt my name Burning back inside my veins What is mine, I finally claim I am not what they became I won’t bleed for them again I won’t break to make them mend I am more than what I gave More than what they tried to save Let the roots grow wild and true Let me choose what I undo They can love what I outgrew But they’ll never know me too Now the light cuts through the room Now they finally see the truth They don’t know me… They never knew They met the light I learned to use Not the soul I had to lose
