Better Version of Me

Battered and alone

Frightened and lil scared

For what tomorrow may bring

Fighting every day

To get through the haze

Of the yesteryears dark pain

What have I become

Feeling abandoned

This vicious cycle must stop

For help I must reach

Before falling deep

A Better Version of me

I must become this

My kids can’t suffer

The loss of their mom would devastate

For I’m not trying

To be anything

Other than a better me
