Right now I feel depressed I thought I had all my old awful memories repressed but with a swift kick, and a scowl all plus more have regressed I keep losing my baby girl over and over and over again my head is in a swirl getting up out of bed, ha not even my finger can I twirl bright happy thoughts turn black the nightmares become real tired of being the one who is attacked I haven't done anything wrong why do I keep coming back little they believe how I love my child for when she changes her mood she pushes me until I too am riled she is angry I left, and can’t be there so she demands everyone my exile she lashed out with a sharp tongue she doesn't understand her hate am I all who know she is young because we argued in public everyone now wants me strung being without her hurts more than life I have struggled for years tossing and turning every night desperate that I can't be a mother to show the world how this isn’t right I know suicide is not an answer from all the abuse I endured leaving him meant chancing her who fooled us all being two-faced his bullets at my feet, I'm but a dancer patience is my only avenue waiting out this hellish nightmare and everything they put me through still I tell her on a constant basis Here I stay to wait for you -FrankiiFame
