Mums on the phone

Mum was on the phone again when I woke up today,
When I called her name she shouted "go away!"
I just want to play with mum that is all I need,
she's to busy on face book and checking her news feed.
Mum can you play with me I am busy and all alone,
she answered "stop your moaning can't you see I am on the phone"?
Mum your child needs you I am only four,
you tell me off for nagging and sit me on the floor.
you walk me to school with your head in your phone,
I know it will be the same as soon as I get home.
When were walking home I look up to you to speak,
but your heads in your phone just like it's been all week.
I sit down when we are home a tear in my eye,
You say  "what's wrong with you all you do is cry"?
I wish I could explain but I am only four,
Mum I really love you but you love your phone more.
I said those words out loud wanting you to hear,
I see you put your phone down i shed another tear.
I felt a little shocked when you came over to play,
we coloured in my book can we do it every day?
I wont be a child for long I won't always be four
soon I'll be an adult a child I'll be no more.
spend time with your child don't let them feel alone,
when I woke next morning mums head was in her phone.
It was good while it lasted the little play we had,
now Im left home and have a little lad.
Mum you missed me being a child because your head was in your phone,
I know what parent i will be not always on my phone!

I'm just like my mum

How can I thank my mum enough? Mym mum she made me whole,
The one who carried me gave me life, the forming of y soul.
My mum she tucked me in at night, wiped tears when I was crying,
Mum made such sacrifices, never gave up and kept on trying.
How can I ever thank my mum her heart her sweat and tears,
always there to comfort me taking away my fears.
Mum if you stand before me now and see what I've become,
it's like looking in the mirror because I'm just like my mum.
You gave me courage you gave me strength and reasons to go on,
the reason I am who I am today is thanks to my precious mum.

Domestic abuse

I am not a door mat to walk over every day,
I am not an object you can use and put away.
I am not some one just to benefit your self,
I am not a bank machine to help you with your wealth.
You say you love me but you hit me when your mad,
I want to be happy but you just make me sad.
You use me as a punch bag when nothing goes your way,
Your always shouting in my face I never have my say.
You keep me from my family take away my phone,
You say I should be grateful I'm living in your home.
I am a human you can't treat me this way,
You were supposed to love me not hit me every day.
Not call me names or take away my phone,
or keep me from my family making me alone.
I got the strength to tell you I'm leaving you today,
You start saying sorry and begging me to stay.
You stood there in my way blocking that front door,
I'm not fooling for it again I have heard the sorry before.
I look in the mirror see my two black eyes,
Why did I put up with this? it's time to say my goodbyes.
you raised your fist to punch me and hit me in the head,
but I pushed you away with all my strength and walk out that door instead.

what is love?

what is love?
Love is a feeling that is put into action,
When you feel loved its a happy distraction.
Love is putting some ones happiness before your own,
spending time with children even when there grown.
Love is when you smile while doing things for others,
spending time with family and memories with our mothers,
Love can be a bond between a couple sharing life,
proposing to your girlfriend and making her your wife.
Love is an emotion that comes from  the heart,
love can also hurt when it's time to part.
Love isn't easy when you think you have had enough,
love can seem so far away when some one treats you rough.
When you look in that mirror give your self a smile,
love is a sign of respect and some one who is loyal.
Love can break your heart when some one has to die,
the hardest part of feeling love is when you say goodbye.
When your heart is broken love can make it heal,
love is a emotion that is sometimes hard to feel.
Love should be in everyone to make the world a better place,
it shouldn't be a world of hate it should be full of grace.
We should think about love especially how we use it,
if you love the wrong person that's when they abuse it.
Love is when a mother watches her children grow,
the hardest part of a mothers love is letting her children go.
Just be careful who you choose to love don't get your heart broke,
some people will abuse your love that is not a joke.
Love when you can it's given us for free,
turning a frown into a smile that's what love is to me.
Now its time to go remember what I said,
love is feeling go with your heart not what is  in your head

Rainbow to heaven

The days seem darker since we have been apart,
The light has faded within my broken heart.
When I see a rainbow the colours shining through,
I see a bridge to heaven that will lead me back to you.
How can I have a future when you are in the past?
Memories  I'll treasure until I breathe my last.
When my time is over I will no longer be in pain,
I will climb that rainbow and we will meet again.
Until then I close my eyes I see your lovely face,
as lovely as that rainbow a smile full of grace.
When I here the wind it's whispering your name,
all I have are memories your picture in a frame.
I know your over the rainbow that leads to heaven above,
your dancing with the angels and doing it with love.
If the rainbow had a staircase I would climb it all alone,
Until I get to heaven so I could bring you home.
when I see that rainbow colours shining through,
it does not have a staircase I can not get to you.
When that rainbow fades I know you have gone to sleep,
so I pull the covers over my head memories I will keep.
When the darkness comes and stars fill up the sky,
I see you spirit twinkling you don't want me to cry.
When the rainbow shows again I know that you are near,
I feel you around me like those colours so clear.
All the memories that I have the things we used to do,
one day I'll climb that rainbow so I can be with you.
I will be dancing on all those colours Red, Yellow, Pink, Green, Orange, Purple and blue.
now rest in peace my dear, I have got to go,
I will always have you near me when I see that rainbow.

Hidden disability

I have a disability no one else can see,
People think I'm normal but it's hidden inside of me.
Sometime I'm happy other times I'm sad,
Anxiety depression doctors said but others think I'm mad.
They all just say get a grip there are happy times ahead,
It's easy for them to say as they can't see in my head.

A disability you can't see is so hard to explain,
O.C.D the doctors call it but others think I'm insane.
Things have to be a certain way i go through it in my head,
People say get over it so I force a smile instead.
I know people mean well in what there trying to say,
but anxiety, depression O.C.D they don't just go away.
I try to be normal just for a little while,
another tablet I have to take I feel like a lab rat trial.

A panic attack I had today in front of all my friends'
another unseen disability the list just never ends.
people think I want attention because the illness they can't see,
The only way they would understand is if they could be me .
I wouldn't wish this on anyone depression or anxiety,
scared to go out or be alone scared to even be me.
It's hard with a disability that people can not see,
anxiety depression O.C.D can't just make them go away
they are all a part of me.

sleeping in the dark

I used to be scared of the dark when I was a kid in bed,
I always believed monster were hiding under my bed.
When the lights went out and there was shadows on the wall,
but when I turn my lamp on there was nothing there at all.
When I turn it of again there was a monster on my chair,
It must be my imagination as it was only my teddy bear.
Things look different in the dark, shadows on the wall,
What's that above my head it wasn't there before?
I turn on my light and drink the warm milk mum had made,
I look above my head it's only my light shade.
I look under my bed there is no monster under there,
It's my imagination that's just a teddy on my chair.
I close my eyes the I count sheep tucked up in my bed,
There is no such thing as monsters it's all just in my head.
I wake up in the morning, no shadows on the wall,
I'm a big boy now, not scared of the dark no more.
When I go upstairs tonight, when it's time for bed,
I will be brave, turn of my light as it's all just in my head.
There is no such thing as monsters or shadows on the wall,
I will close my eyes I'll count sheep just like I did before.
Next time I think there is a monster sitting on my chair,
I will laugh and go to sleep as it's just my teddy bear.
I a a big boy now it was all just in my head,
There is no such thing as monsters that live under my bed.

Hard to be me

Sometimes it's hard to be me that i am aware,
I just can't make my mind up how to have my hair.
Sometimes it's hard to be me with things inside my head,
I don't want to get dressed or even get out my bed.
I always find comfort in people I know who care,
Sometimes it's hard to be me my life so hard to bare.
Sometimes it's hard to be me when life just gets me down,
I just mange to keep on smiling and straighten up my crown.
Sometimes it's hard to be me but I have family by my side,
They show me how to love my self and to do it with lots of pride. 
They teach me how to smile again show me how to shine,
It's easy to be me when you have family like mine.
Some days won't be easy but I will see them through,
when I feel down I know just what to do,
Go and see my family and they will help me through.
They will always make me laugh and help to make me smile,
making it easy to be me just for a little while.
Next time I find it hard especially to be me,
I will start to  smile and set my feelings free.
My family taught me to be strong and go the extra mile,
With them i ca be myself with them i know i can smile.

WALKING IN THE WEATHER

When I waked in the wind today blowing in my face,
Whispering noises in ear the sounds are full of grace.
The wind was blowing through my hair swaying here and there,
It was nice hearing that wind today getting some fresh air.
When I walked in the sun today shining in my eyes,
The heat from the burning sun lightning up the sky.
When I walked in the sun today it was shining down on me,
The sun was so hot today wish I was in the sea.
When I walked in the rain today dripping down my face,
I came up to a puddle splashed in a happy place.
The rain was heavy pouring down from that grey cloud,
The nose of the raindrops were getting very loud.
The rain was getting faster making me soaking wet,
Next time I am out in the rain an umbrella I must get.
When I walked in the snow today it was cold as ice,
Pretty snowflakes falling down oh they look so nice.
Lie in the snow it's so soft moving in all angles,
I lie on my back spread my arms making pretty snow angels.
I get back up covered in snow wipe the best I can,
Pull out my gloves put on my hat and build a big snowman.
When I walked in the thunder today the noise was very loud,
crashing, banging all that roaring coming from the cloud.
The clouds are grey the sky looks dark,
there comes the lightning with a flashing spark.
I'm not scared thunder does not  bother me,
I will walk in any weather as longs as I am happy

Postcode war

Walking down the streets in fear for our life.
Wondering if the gang over there are carrying a knife.
What's it all about with gangs and there code?
Teenagers scared if there in the wrong postcode.
It isn't cool to be carrying a knife,
what gives them the right to take another life?
This is what society has turned into today,
gangs taking over and children scared to play.
If your in a gang think twice what to do,
do you think if you're arrested they will be there for you?
You think your the boss because you carry a weapon,
if it was used on you what you think would happen?
Is it really worth it to use that knife?
Give it up go to school think about you're life.
stabbing that boy who walks down the road,
just because he's in your postcode.
Killing some ones son, nephew or brother
If it happened to you then what about your mother?
Ditch the knife give it up and be done,
before it's your mother that's left without a son.
Walking away does not mean your weak,
You're more of a man if you turn the other cheek.
Who cares if that boy hasn't got a pair of Nikes,
He's in his own right to wear what he likes.
When you go out leave the knife at home,
What gives you the right to stab him for his phone?
using knifes leaves bodies on the ground,
when your in a gang what goes around comes around.
You have a chance to end it shake hands and be friends,
otherwise your mother will have no son
and it will be your life next to end .
