My greatest fear is to be away too long

I can't bear much time, for I'm not that strong

Will my boys sleep peacefully

Or will slumber evade them because of me

I want to escape and prove them wrong

Because I don't feel like them, I don't belong

I'm not like others with this disease

Give me the chance to show you, to make you see

I'm a fighter after all

When push comes to shove I am ready to brawl

You didn't see me though or didn't care

You locked me away and stole my air

You judged me with fake pity in your eyes

But you were full of shit and full of lies

Now today you use it against me

To strip away my only sanity

How fucking dare you, you hypocrite

To say I'm not a good mother, to say I'm unfit

The only reason I remained there day after day

Is for the boys you are now trying to strip away

You rule with an iron fist, like a King

You took my freedom, my future, and my wedding ring

But you will never take my beautiful sons

Without first hearing the ringing echo of my gun
