DEAR MAMA


Dear mama can I talk to you for some time 
It’s okay I’ll yell if you can’t come 
Mama I’m in this dream that I do not like,at all
I’m struggling to cope my life’s blocked by this wall.
Everyday I wonder how to break it down, it’s so tall.
It feels like needles punched right through my heart and I can’t let that slide
Because it’s so tall that I can’t see you, you’re on the other side.
I tear down every night hoping one day the  wall separating us will also tear down 
But those tears have built a well in my pillow enough for me to drown.

Wake me up from this dream, it’s too filled with pain
Hold my hand, save me from my own slovenly brain
Wake me up, I don’t want to have this dream again
Until then I’ll let my tears fall down along with the rain.
