Redeemed Mess
Tension so thick, you can cut it with a knife
Starting the day she agreed to be his wife
Big brown eyes filled with shame
Even though she's not the one to blame
She did her best, all she could do
Dreaming of a day when she can start brand new
Erase all traces of this man she once had
The one that her kids are forced to call "dad"
A disgrace, a mockery, this marriage was a joke
But she did not realize this until that day she awoke
Awoke to lies like gunshots
Her stomach in knots
The clashing of pots
All those treacherous thoughts
Have molded and formed her into who she is not
She is a redeemed mess
Worth way more, not less
She is not a no, but a yes
She can finally come out and confess:
She's done
