Umbilical cord cut


It began it died, the story I had deep inside

It Developed inside my mind growing, pulsing, consuming

becoming what it never could be

I let you soar free

It was foolish of me, when I let everything rot,

The umbilical cord cut

When I stopped thinking of him,

You died inside of me

A fool i had been to leave this plan

The life I had was taken be the guilt of a man.

Every day I think of you, how you’d never come to be

But I’m stronger now, stronger you’ll see

Because I have to courage

The courage to set you free
