They’ve taken you away from us,
The ones who think that they can do what they want,
Because they think that they have “authority” over people who make mistakes.
And they think that they’re helping society by erasing,
People like you.
They’ve taken you and locked you behind bars,
The ones who are so cold,
They knew that what they were doing was wrong,
They thought that they could do this.
To people like you.
They’ve taken you and made you weak,
The ones who are out to get the innocent.
They knew that you wouldn’t stand a chance against their words.
They thought that we wouldn’t fight back,
For people like you.
But you my dear cousin,
Are worth fighting for.
You didn’t do anything wrong.
It’s not your fault.
Just hang in there,
And we’ll make it though.
Our family will get you back,
We’re here to fight for you.
It's them against us, don't worry, they won't win.

This is powerful...I'm not really sure what happen to and you and your cousin...but whatever happen...it broke your heart
It's not easy losing a family member...let it be by death...drugs...jail...rehab...and etc.
I hope whatever is going in your life eventually gets a little better
