A commendation to your strength.
I know it ain't easy
to break contentedness.

It ain't easy
to break unhappiness either,
especially when it's become
intertwined, and comfortable.

Can't imagine how difficult it must be
to break free from abuse,
especially when it used to be love.

I can't say much for raising children,
'cause I don't know much on the topic.

What I can say is that
you deserve a commendation
for doing the best that you can,
and that you'll always be her Mama,
and I'll do my best to be your man.

So maybe it will always hurt,
but I'd like to help make it
not hurt quite as bad.

So maybe it will always hurt,
but share it with me
if you can.
