My skin is my coat, but let me take it off. 
I need you to see me as I am when I'm honest and raw. I grew up sheltered from this beast we call a world. My life was filtered by these three words 
"it'll be okay" 
but it really wasn't was it? 
Because when I walked out the door, there was a war and I was in it. I was confused, I wasn't sure what to do. But I was handed a weapon which was my mind and my views. 
Everyone was going east while I was going south, I was taught to go west, but then I got lost. Don't get me started on north, that was too straight forward I was moving too fast. became a mother as a reward. 
Later in life I found a map and it was you. 
Funny, you were looking for the same directions too. So we worked together. We were a team and we grew 
But somewhere along the way, I lost you 
Sometimes I can still here your voice telling me "it'll be okay"
Sometimes I can feel your hand caressing my face 
Sometimes I feel you holding me to sleep 
Sometimes I cry so much I can't breathe 
And when I think about you my world grows silent 
I'm trapped in our past and this pain is so violent 
But as you always told me, i must move forward 
I can't let life break me or take me as a coward 
I haven't finished our journey but when I do, I'll meet you in our happy place...
