Analysis of Emotions
You've sold her soul, long down that river,
That awful pain, that makes you shiver,
Trying so hard to keep her head above water,
Gripping hold, struggling to hold on,
This failing battle, shes been striving so long,
Thinking, a hopeless mum, a shameful daughter,
An embarrassment to forever haunt her,
All the pain and misery she's caused,
Time to hold her head high, and stop living in the past,
Ignoring that feeling of lost and torture,
Bless with 2 sons and beautiful daughter,
Now it's time to put them first, that played out act a million times rehearsed,
An astonishing future it could be,
She's putting her foot and she's set her free,
Standing tall, let her demons lose,
Terrifying feelings, dredging up all the abuse,
Turn the page for all to see,
She's still here, the perfect beauty.
