Nobody asked me if it was ok
Before they took my big brother away
Nobody asked me if I’d be alright
without any parents to kiss me goodnight
I’m angry as hell that they left me alone
But where will it get me to bitch and to moan
Will God bring them back if I say Pretty Please,
Beg for his mercy from down on my knees?
I lay in a hospital, unable to speak
Machines did my breathing, my body so weak
I fought hard for my baby, prayed he’d hold on
But my body betrayed me, my child was gone
No chance to hold him, How soft he’d have been
I touched his ashes, but never his skin
Nobody promised that life would be fair
But how many losses can one person bear?
What will it take to prove that I’m tough,
that all that I’ve been through is more than enough?
I’ve gotten quite good at hiding my pain
But sometimes I feel like I’m going insane
The strong fearless woman that others still see
Is slowly becoming a stranger to me
