Trap

If i died tonight would the world even notice
Would my kids carry on and be able to focus, 
On the future i swore we could easily reach 
Just the thought of the gulit makes me physically weak. 

Carry on with this day as if theres a purpose
Strongly ignoring my minds inner circus,
As The light of the tunnel fades further away
Im praying i’ll reach the end of the day.

With the heaviest heart i look Up and i see  
My freedom forbidden theres no option for me,
To be free from my trap is what i desperately crave 
But i won’t watch my girls come to visit my grave.

You have freedom. Isn't it funny to know the world keeps on spinning after we are gone? Or, sad I suppose.
