My struggle

oooh here we go story time

you asked why I don't speak my mind

it started December seventh day

brought my son home fear and joy swayed

my mom and dad held me so tight

then came the dark turned out the light

Lizzy had a baby so small

Christmas came but love would fall

Miguel said words sharp as a knife

"Walters kid ain't part of my life"

the pain was deep but I stayed strong

then mom said "leave" it felt so wrong

I walked away with my newborn

no place to go so lost forlorn

time flew by like a stormy wind

defeated fight I couldn't win

I lost him my heart torn in two

a piece of me gone with the blue

you weren't there when I was low

now I stand and you should know

I'm in control I'll take the lead

you're not my family just cold greed

I'm not thriving I survive

this broken road I'll still arrive

days turned to nights so dark and long

no one heard my grieving song

tried so hard but none would see

the pain you caused abandoning me

then they came with empty care

where were you when none was there

acting like you loved me true

but your lies shine through the view

I walked away with my newborn

no place to go so lost forlorn

time flew by like a stormy wind

defeated fight I couldn't win

I lost him my heart torn in two

a piece of me gone with the blue

you weren't there when I was low

now I stand and you should know

I'm in control I'll take the lead

you're not my family just cold greed

I'm not thriving I survive

this broken road I'll still arrive
