What is that makes you stay?
Does he hold something over you making it impossible for you to run away?
You and your babies deserve so much better.
He is a price of trash, we all know it's true; yet it seems like you let him hide behind you
I know it's your life, believe me I do; but I know what he's done and can't help worrying about you
Yes, you are strong I don't deny that, but even the toughest warriors can succumb to combat
I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, you and I both know it would do no good
You are a survivor and make your own choices, I'm simply asking for you to consider the voices
Trust the alarms we all here so loud, don't be pulled back in by his dark shroud
You know you're better than that!
If there is one thing I know about the woman before me, is she is too good to let this prick break her down
Be the queen we all know you are, not a servant to someone who leaves you with scars

Dedicated to my bestie.....for ever, for always
