I'm not ok

January 8th, they said "we'll be right back" Put me in a

car and I watched my whole life fade to black Twenty-nine years

with mammal never missed a day

Guardian walked in court and took it all away No bruises,

no danger, no warning,

no call Just a paper signed and I lost it all

Three visits in six months,

that's all she's allowed to see

They say "best interest" — whose?

It sure ain't me

I called lawyers, I called state,

I begged on the phone

They said "she's your guardian" and left me alone

I'm not ok

with this situation I'm not ok

with the lies they're creating She swore to the judge,

said I couldn't survive But mammal kept me safe my whole damn

life I'm not ok

in this house with strangers Cussing staff and midnight dangers But I'm

still breathing, I'm still Kimmie And I'm not ok — but I'm

not done screaming (screaming!)

Teen boys overnight, I don't sleep,

I don't eat enough They said "protection" — this don't feel like

peace Mammal

70 now, but she'd walk through flames Just to hold my hand

and call me by my name Case 12JO-PR000013,

look it up if you care

A granddaughter stolen and nobody's there DRM said "we can't," Legal Aid

went quiet Is anybody listening,

or am I just a riot?

They want me quiet,

they want me small They want me to break and not fight

at all But I got mammal blood and I got this voice

And I'm not ok — but I still got a choice

I'm not ok

with this situation I'm not ok

with the lies they're creating She swore to the judge,

said I couldn't survive But mammal kept me safe my whole damn

life I'm not ok

in this house with strangers Cussing staff and midnight dangers But I'm

still breathing, I'm still Kimmie And I'm not ok — but I'm

not done screaming

So if you hear this,

Judge, or KMBC news I'm a 32-year-old woman with nothing to lose

Except the truth

And the truth is: I'm not ok

But I'm still here

And I want to go home today.

(home today...)
