Unable to Breathe

Four walls closing around me
feeling trapped, and unable to breathe

A web of emotions causes my receptors to go numb
Visualization of breaking free via a very fast run

Providing a life for kids financially/emotionally is tough
This chain of teenage lows are nothing short of rough

My oldest child decided to deal with her emotions via cuts
Where in the world would she conceive this idea? I feel its nuts

Why would you cut/scar your skin to inflcit pain upon yourself
I am obviously missing something, my daughter desperately needs help

Obviously nuturting, support and love from both parents mean nothing at all
Doing your best is obscured, this crisis has me lightheaded about to fall

Flat on my face, because failure is not an option with my kids, yet inside I feel like I have miserably
As I keep thinking of all this, I am truly unable to breathe
