The Essence Of Who I Am

I’m a police officers wife
I never thought this would be my life

How did I get a man who would sacrifice Everything for his community
How did I get a man who would do Anything for his family

I’ve joined the club
I am waiting for the door to open before My chest begins to loosen as he embraces Me in a hug

Over time, all the time, never sure when He’ll be home
Just praying the trauma he sees on the job Doesn’t make him feel alone

Praying its nothing bad when the phone Rings
Experiencing the worst things possible just So he knows how it feels

I can’t breathe
Is he breathing
Pepper spray, gas
The video of him not being able to breathe Took all the breath from me
I’m afraid I’ll never shake this feeling

M.A.P
