Michelle

You’ve been thinking too much again

You try to stay strong for them

But when you’re alone fear breaks through

This grief feels endless

Motherhood seems relentless

Everybody looks to you

Miles away from here

Staring past the water

Winter clouds turn everything pale blue

And you don’t know what to do

What should you do?

You needed a brother, not a friend

But I missed your call again

You tried mom twice but you can’t get through

You’re so tired of searching

It seems like no matter what you do

happiness stays ahead of you

Miles away from here

Staring past the water

You doubt yourself no matter what you choose

And you don’t know what to do

What should you do

An impossible kind of love

The type written in our blood

But easy to forget about

I’ve been distant

You always understand

Even when you’re feeling down

Miles away from here

Staring past the water

In the time before they get home from school

I wish I was there with you

If I was there

I couldn’t fix a thing

But we could share the weather

And talk about when everything felt new

Michelle, I believe in you

No matter what you do
