When you child tells you they want to die
When your child wants to cry
How do you cope mother dear
Always having that fear
Hold tight and maybe it will pass they say
But I have to work and I’ve got bills to pay
24-7 it goes on and on
Work dont stop but your brain can’t go on
The aching of your heart feels heavy now
Knowing that you can’t heal your child
All in their head you can’t unlock
Time stands still tick tick tick tock
Why can’t they see what you see in them
Waiting for the light to go on in their head
Waiting for the day when they finally say
I’ve made it mum I’m ready to run
But at this time…
It goes on and on…
When your child…
Just wants to die…
