Resolutions

She knew she had to
Stop believing in Santa Claus
When mom stopped coming home

You knew you had to
Stop berating yourself
When you woke up to
Beating your kids

They knew they had to
Stop hoping for a change
When everyday the Screaming
Just got louder

I knew I had to
Stop giving of myself
When all I got back
Was nothing

We knew we had to
Stop lying to ourselves
When we could no longer
Feel
