I can't control the world That lives inside my mind. The ruler is depression And he can be unkind. The punishment is severe An escape I cannot find. I used to know joy and love But now I've left it all behind. I put my soul into your hands And you've mistreated and abused me. Today I come before you And bow on bended knee. I'm begging for a reason And pleading to be free. You laugh and mock my pain Saying together we shall always be.
Reason for writing:
I was in a horrible relationship that I wanted out of. It took a lot of courage and the help and support of my family, but I was able to leave. I am now single and raising my infant daughter in a safe and loving environment.
Birth sign: Leo
