Why I Walk Away
© Julie Ruffell
Can you see my heart is breaking?
Can you see the pain in my eyes?
You don't know the truth
You don't know who I really am
Nor should you
I will carry the pain
Solan, I'm your mother
I want to scream and tell the world
I want to tell you you're my son
I want to hold you in my arms
You grew within me everyday
Don't you know I need you?
Why are things so hard and complicated?
Choices were made
And though they hurt me
They will keep you safe
If they knew you are my son
You would become a target
For their hate
So though my heart is breaking
That's why I walk away
