BeFree

I spend hours and hours waiting for you,
Where did your true self go? 
The one I loved,
The one I dared to risk it for,
Where did your true self go?

The kindhearted mum full of joy and care,
The one I spent time trying to please,
I thought you loved me, wrong.

Used, cast aside for abundant immorality,
Driven away by insidious actions,
Hidden by the bottle poured deep into your soul,
Lost to the new way of life.

I will be stronger, fitter, a better man,
Your true self has emerged, evil and cruel,
I will fight for my health, my children, my faith in mankind,
Put you to one side and forget all the sorrow,
Rise up, break out, BeFree.
