No Peace of Mind

No Peace of Mind

What is the average person’s state of mind
To others awfully enjoying being unkind, 
However likewise pretending not to find 
The rIght words when they really should rewind 

With all the lies and fruitless false allegations 
Contradicting the facts is quite the temptation, 
To destroy what you’ve worked for in your station 
With your livelihood shredded is no
exaggeration 

Then take your children away is the pretext 
To more heartache and ill health is next,
Laying down just to catch your breath 
Living without your child is a living death

Always wondering and never knowing 
What is happening, your fears are ongoing,
The last to know as they keep secrets from you 
Is your child actually safe while you reach for a tissue 

Days turn into months and years will go by
Your child slowly starts believing the lie,
You’re erased out of their lives with the stroke of a pen
And each night your nightmare will continue again
