MY MUM
My mum so full of life
So full of beans
She could talk to anyone
Full of personality and glee
My mum at work
So vivacious and alive
Loved by all
Always the centre of attention
Let out of the cage
Like an animal set free
My mum is old and grey
Still full of life
That faded away
But what a waste
So lively and energetic
Oh what could have been!
A man stopped you on the way,
from being your own person.
But mum
You were not wrong
Don't live your life regretting
Filled with bitterness and sadness
You do not stand-alone
No man will stop me doing
What I want to do
I will not live in a cage
For no man
My life is my own
I have le
And understand you now
All the hurt and frustration,
was not a waste of time.
I will not be caged
Like you were
by any one or man.
Mum, been thinking about you
today.
It’s been four ye
Since you been gone
It’s not been easy,
Mum.
I feel I missed so much,
Not being close to you,
Like Mother and Daughter
Should have been,
I think I know,
It was not easy for you mum,
But
You should have tried h
Mum.
Mum,
I wish you could see,
What I have achieved,
in such a short time.
The house,
The council,
And dad,
We can’t forget dad.
He misses you so much,
I just wish he had treated you better.
That’s why I forgive you mum,
All the hurt and pain
You must have suffered
I can feel the pain
And I can feel the hurt
You should of talk to me
Mum
You should have talked to me?
Mum you should have,
Never gave-up.
I know you never wanted me,
You should never have said that.
Because I feel and felt;
I never ever belonged.
Mum,
That is all I ever wanted.
Just to belong
I always felt
Alone,
Left out,
If you ever felt that way,
Then you should have known.
Mum,
Did you not wonder?
How I felt?
How alone I was?
Mum
I needed you,
I wanted you,
Then you died
Now that will never be repaired
But, mum
I forgive you.
But will I ever
Forgive myself?
