Breathing for Us

Echoes of silence, screams in my mind,

Lost in a house that's never kind.

Broken walls, words like knives,

Searching for hope in a thousand lives.

Black sheep wandering through stormy nights,

Carrying burdens, fighting the fights.

They point fingers, blame my name,

In this toxic game, I feel the shame.

Can't breathe here, walls closing in,

Seeking for sky, but trapped within.

Little hearts, needing light,

I fight for us, for what is right.

I need out, I need a new dawn,

Somewhere I can breathe, where I belong.

No more tears, no more pain,

A place for love, to heal the stain.

My children’s laughter, a distant dream,

A fragile hope, a silent scream.

Struggling hard to break free,

From chains that bind, from misery.

Can't breathe here, walls closing in,

Seeking for sky, but trapped within.

Little hearts, needing light,

I fight for us, for what is right.

I need out, I need a new dawn,

Somewhere I can breathe, where I belong.

No more tears, no more pain,

A place for love, to heal the stain.

Oh, universe, hear my plea,

Guide me out to where I can be free.

For my boys, for myself,

A new chapter, a 'neath the shelf.

Someday soon, I’ll find my way,

A brighter dawn, a better day.

Till then, I hold on tight,

Fighting shadows, chasing light.
