Divorce is Often Accompanied by Depression
Find my peace of mind,
the meaning of its bind,
I keep searching through the mine
with no success I have yet to find.
Open up your eyes,
seek past all the lies,
break all of those ties
that drag you behind.
I truly wish to die
I do when I cry
it is a shame when I pry
to the lack of a goal that tried
I wish that I could be
past someone that's not me
and stare at the sea
knowing I don't have to please
Why do I contemplate
the question of my state
when I have a full plate
that sits upon my slate?
Mom, dad
there's something I must add
I was never glad
but I'm happy you fell for the act
My goal is now complete.
I am obsolete.
No longer a need to compete
for the court over me.
