Mental Storms

1) MENTAL STORMS  
I am not a poet 
I have never claim to be  
I only write down my feelings
Because it helps me mentally 
It was kept a secret for years 
never for others to see 
A personal world 
Where I keep my memory's 
Focusing so hard 
It's like I'm eating them on TV 

dealing with the loss of a love one 
Can come in all shapes and all forms

I just personally found writing to be 
The way 

That helps tackle my personal mental storms 

You see when the storm peaks full force 
it's has no remorse 
It transfers lightning bolts of pain shattering strain electrifying the vains as it travels besides the bloods course 
Then the pain inflames the brain 
as it test the human frame 
to see if you can regain 
the inner strength to remain 
strong enough to maintain 
as you cope with the constant strain of handling one of life's cruelest games 
So I don't care if my English is not the correct grammar 
That really isn't my concern 
The fact is I'm actually thick as  when it comes to understanding all the proper punctuational terms 
I don't write down my feeling for anyone to grade 
I don't write them down for attention or praise 
I don't care for the spelling mistakes or the ink stained tears that phase the page 
Cause when I'm writing 
half the time my hand barley keeps up pace 
Often the tears flow blocking my vision as I scribble down words like an emotional race 
But like any storm 
They always pass through 
Some are worse then others 
But eventually the sky returns blue 
As the sun comes out from behind its covers
So as the wind howls hard 
the rain beaut down 
It's a case of if you want to survive the mental storm 
Or admit defeat and drown in your frown

I Promise

I PROMISE 

As I'm sitting alone 

There's a kinda six sense premonition 

That Iddy biddy feeling inside 

Known as parental intuition 

We know the parental drill 

Time to take our position 

Doesn't matter what your doing 

You just stop and purely listen

Sensing something not quite right 

I need to settle my suspicion 

So as I creeped down the hallway  

Pivoting to avoid the squeaky floor

Indeed My intuition was right

As I hear my daughter Sobbing behind the door

The tears of a daughter missing her mum 

Are not like normal tears 

These form from the pit of the soul 

Shifting heart ache up through gears

Tears that send chills 

Down through the bones 

From just a 7 year old girl 

Who just wants a mum of her own 

But she Worried it would up set her dad

She bravely copes alone 

Just like your mother always thinking of others 

 it's scary how much you have grown

My eyes start to blur 

and the tears start to form 

Not even the weatherman can predict 

One of my life's mental storms  

I just comfort her as she breaks down 

I just bear hug her as tight as can be 

I reassure her I'm not going anywhere 

Unfortunately your stuck with me 

 I wipe my blurred vision 

and just man up on the spot

It's time for some daddy advice 

So listen up my little fiffi tot 

Sometimes baby life can be mean 

Sometimes it won't always turn out 

Exactly as u seem

But as I've told you before 

You are a little queen 

You my monkey moo will Succeed in life 

So promise me you follow your dreams 

as she weeps she ask me to promise to never leave her side 

As I wipe her nose and dried her eyes 

She clutched me tight with all of her mite 

It's me and u no matter what we do 

we come as a pair like doves in the air 

So proud of you moo your amazing through and through

Sorry

7).  SORRY ••• Sorry mum??

So I'm going to spend a moment 

A moment maybe to late 

A moment to say sorry 

To a mother I didn't fully aprichiate 


So I'm going  to say SORRY

for every time I drove you mad 

I'm really going to say sorry 

For the times I acted so bad 

So dear dear mother

this is signed and sealed inside the pouch of a dove 

Set to fly high to you

 Beyond the clouds above  

To me this is less of a poem 

Less of a letter of eternal love 

To me this is a sorry from a weeping heart 

As I wipe these tears with my glove 

So mum I'm sorry 

Sorry For all the sorry's 

Sorry for the worries 
 
Sorry For all the not sorry's 

Where the sorry's were due 

Sorry For all the times 

I ever rudely, bad mouthed you

Sorry For all the times 

you always new best 

Even tho at the time 

It was hard to digest 

Sorry For all the times

 i said I couldn't care a less

Sorry For all the times 

you cried when we never spoke 

Sorry For all the puddles of tears with my name on

eye liner tears on the pillow you soaked

Sorry I wasnt this clever now 

Sorry I was such a young joke 

The fact is I could go on all night about all my wrongs as a youth

I Can't say sorry enough now your gone 

And that's the real truth

But I do have one more sorry 

The one the brings a tear to the eye

And that's sorry it took 25 years to say I love u 

But I'm glad That moment made you cry 

I could tell it meant so much to you 

I promise I'd say it every day  

17 days I told my mum I love u

17 days of  smile smiling with joy

17 days of taking me back to that feeling of being a boy 

So I'll send one last sorry mother

From a dove to heavens gate

And that sorry is sorry for the fact

 all my sorry's are sadly to late
