Were you first born Or had I been born again? The love inside For this child of mine Upon first breath Your little hand in mine Your first smile Truly was light I am your world But then again you are mine

First Born
I feel more aware I can see it in the night air They have ignorant thoughts I am becoming less distraught Understanding that It wasn't just my fault

Growing
She stares at the bookshelf The top is cluttered she cannot bring herself to clean it For she is too small Instead cleans from the middle down It wasn't hard at all If only she were tall Then again, she prefers to be small

I think it's all too much lately it's just been a rush yelling to myself "shush" cannot speak about it but I'm aching already I don't know if I'm starting to eternally bleed these are the things of which I cannot speak I'm sorry if I came off strong honestly I don't know where it comes from lately I've just been in my feelings trying not to say them out loud but lately it just won't come out bottle it up so they don't investigate I'm trying fix all this self hate the things that are around me just aren't great can someone help with this self hate? and not leave me there like an ingrate sorry for all the things I can't complain it's all in my head, right? I can't even say it so I bottle it up like it's nothing

Lines
You promised Yet you relapsed And now I'm snapped I don't know if you know But you're dazed stuck in a haze Won't let yourself escape You have four beautiful daughters Yet your mind is on your own slaughter I'm sorry I tried But you ignored my pleas On my knees Can't you see? You're falling And I can't even stop it Do you hear me calling? All you hear is a whisper My vocal chords are shredded But it doesn't amount to a thing You don't know the pain You're bringing to yourself All for your own game In vain you are dying Slowly I know it Decaying Time is ticking But again You relapsed You promised that Once to a girl crying on the phone I guess you forgot that girl Your own daughter Just because you have free will I don't know if you just don't care Or if your demons are there But I'm here I can't watch you disappear

Relapse
I love the way you smile The way you look at me Even when I don't see with my eyes You have malice in your eyes You're upset inside the fire Or perhaps You were the spark all along

How long Just how long Until we can come together Where there is no violence No need to hate How long Just how long Until there are no school shootings No one is left behind No one is discriminated For simply being who they are How long How long will it be When we are truly free

How Long
In our streets there are diseases In our faces In our eyes Out loud every one cried "Stay at home or we will die"
