In the still cold night
With my boys tucked up tight
I see further and clearer
How hard I must fight.

Fight to keep what is mine
Keep it safe sound and shine
A bright light upon all those who sigh.

Chase the dark thoughts away
Paint a glow on my day
Ignore all those who say
No, you can’t.

I am clear.
And I’m calm.
I have found my way out.
My shelf life gives me a goal,
And control.
