Why not be alone?

I sit here surrounded by souls

And in me it all takes its tolls

I share a life with kids and one man

And hold on to the shreds of my life, best I can

I have been loving and faithful to him

In a sea of loneliness yet do I swim

At a loss in what I should do

How do I start a life anew

You say you love me

And others don’t agree

They see the way you always treat me

They beg and they plea

For me to break ties and become truly free

My sanity you have beaten and torn

Our life together often do I mourn

You do not treat me with love and respect

So what exactly do you expect

You harm my children who to me are so dear

My decision to make seems all too clear

Yes I may end up alone

But my kids and my safety will be all my own
