I really couldnt imagine how you feel

Living in a metal box

Dreading you next meal

Wishing for a whiskey on the rocks

Wondering how your children are doing

Asking if they are okay

I know the jury is looking at you booing

but we are saying horray

We are rooting for you mom

Its going to be okay

Just keep calm

We are here to stay

Youre doing amazing

I can tell mom. Your changing
