William Grimsey Poet Free verse

Hi Mum

Well hey mum
Is me 
Your oldest 

Feels like I’ve been without u the longest 
Since the beginning
So when I see a family glowing 
I really do be grinning 
I ain’t known such belonging 
Well at least I don’t remember 
Yet I still manage to miss you 
Why’s that? 

I see you as a sorta stranger 
Cos I know  u don’t know me 
I may be half you 
But I don’t know half of you 
And you don’t  know half of me 

So maybe we should talk more? 
Is that somthing you’d want? 
You said some tough  
And I ain’t saying I’m perfect 
I’d admit I’m suspect 

You said you didn’t love me 
That’s never left my mind 
Maybe that’s why I miss you
Try and disprove you 
See I want you to need me, miss me uno
All you seem to do is hate me tho 

So I’m here 
Wondering where we at 
Tryna remember a time 
When our family sat 
And we was all in one room 
No separation, didn’t need no zoom 

But I can’t get past the wall that’s built 
Can’t climb over or go round 
So I’ll just keep this frown 
You tuned my world upside down 
My mind inside out
I’m still tryna correct it 
Need some joy to inject it 
Serotonin a needed chemical
Maybe you’re the missing element 
yet i don’t want to be on your table
