6 months in counting, Before society closes the door. I used to say i was the government's child, Now my head's just went and gone wild. Safety nets took away and put to test, No understanding just sent to work, Like drugs is the main part to why i'm falling apart. But life is a beautiful but painful art, Either be a star or fall apart. Started with some childhood trauma, Grew to a woman and became a mother. Abuse follows every chapter yet i still found laughter, Grief living in my chest but i always still gave my best. Growth is like someone coming around to water you, But leave you drying alone. Only i can fight for hope alone, Burning beautiful fire my heart has lot's of desire's. A life to look back on and admire, A peaceful sanctuary i can run to when pain feels like fire. Months to grow, To know what roads to go alone. The promises of help was clearly a silent yelp, Been years of safety now nobody can save me. I'm floating in space with zero gravity, As the world spins i try to find my pin. Everyone's got a pin to where they are in life, Plan my own safety net and see where gravity pins me. These months are gonna feel like i'm wishing on a shooting star, Worth crashing gravity to find out who you are.

Months to grow
6 months in counting, Before society closes the door. I used to say i was the government's child, Now my head's just went and gone wild. Safety nets took away and put to test, No understanding just sent to work, Like drugs is the main part to why i'm falling apart. But life is a beautiful but painful art, Either be a star or fall apart. Started with some childhood trauma, Grew to a woman and became a mother. Abuse follows every chapter yet i still found laughter, Grief living in my chest but i always still gave my best. Growth is like someone coming around to water you, But leave you drying alone. Only i can fight for hope alone, Burning beautiful fire my heart has lot's of desire's. A life to look back on and admire, A peaceful sanctuary i can run to when pain feels like fire. Months to grow, To know what roads to go alone. The promises of help was clearly a silent yelp, Been years of safety now nobody can save me. I'm floating in space with zero gravity, As the world spins i try to find my pin. Everyone's got a pin to where they are in life, Plan my own safety net and see where gravity pins me. These months are gonna feel like i'm wishing on a shooting star, Worth crashing gravity to find out who you are.
