I used to hear and want to jump in
let them pull me down
until the water sunk about my head and I tasted the bile sour of my almost death
drowning in their troubles or unhappiness and hope of having LOVE
going up and down with their uPS and DOWNS
but inside I move on until I
move on
miles away
to see the light of a new day and new hope
and I know that I have done all I can
throwing them a lifeline
but not throwing away my life
not living all my days as someone who is unstable's wife
to say goodbye may hurt but the hurt will pass
and life goes on with me not on a merrigo round yo-yo ride
but there with LIFE to enjoy the hope and see my kids laughter
and smile and know each day is a gift
and we can make a difference but first must be happya nd who we are
true to that first and not living a plastic lie
caught in the dream of whatifs and might have beens
no, we do not sink, we choose to SWIM!
so that new life can begin!
