Trauma King

Trauma King - itsserj I learned early how to stand still When everything was falling Hospitals glow different at night Like the walls are listening I almost left more than once Came back breathing different They call it dramatic when I talk about it Like I chose the weight Over twenty names still echo In rooms I can't walk through I'm not a drama queen I'm a trauma king Crowned in silence I didn't ask for I'm not a drama queen I just survived Things most people never see My body keeps score In quiet ways Aches where no one looks Every loss left a mark I carry under my skin People say"you're strong" Like that means it didn't hurt Like surviving was clean I'm not a drama queen I'm a trauma king Built from pieces I couldn't drop I'm not a drama queen I just stayed When it would've been easier not to some nights It all comes back like headlights Written, recorded, and performed by Itsserj.
