Trapped In My Mind

Abuse...
Such a small word, but its fingers
Grow and merge and tangle around your soul,
Consuming you at times and trying to
Pull you back into that black hole.
As every nerve in your body leaves
You scarred, twisted and torn, As you ask again and again 
What was my reason to be born

My lungs start to shrink until I 
Can no longer breathe 
My stomach tied in knots 
Until I physically heave 
His smell, always trying to claw back
in my brain 
circling around and around till it drives me insane

My heart beating faster as darkness
Closes around
My ears continually straining for
The slightest of sounds
My eyes have to close as the
Nightmare engulfs me once more 
My cries in the night that make
My throat sore
Abuse, such a small word, but I
Trust no-one no more!

Did I

Did I do enough being your mum and your dad?
I tried to give you all so much, and get the things I never had,
but I never saw me doing it all on my own, 
I wanted you to have a mum and dad, a family, a home.

I blamed myself for so many years,
as I lay in my bed and cried silent tears,
was i still bad inside from the years of abuse and pain,
I tried so hard to hide it but I slipped up now and again,
Is it really my fault, am I the one to blame?
doubt upon doubt, till I am driven insane.

A dad for my boy to learn fishing, and stripping dirty bikes, 
going camping in the woods, and weekend long hikes.
For my girls a dad who was gentle,and always on hand with a cuddle,
and be there to help when maths got them into a muddle!
And for me? A man who stood firmly by my side,
but who is honest and open and has nothing to hide.

Do you all have happy childhood memories? Did I make it fun,
was it enough with just me, as we played, laughed and sung?
I love you all so much but I know you had days you were sad
Tell me, did I do enough being your mum and your dad?

Stand Alone

Sometimes it gets so lonely,
I don't know what to do,
I thought I made the right choice,
I felt I was in love with you.

It's hard to pinpoint where and when,
our relationship went wrong
but now I know the end is near,
I have to be very strong.

My cries for help went unheard,
as we passed from year to year
as my feelings of insecurity grew
into a deeper sense of fear.

I knew I had to be left alone,
to come to terms with all I'd been through
I only wish you could have understood
and knew just what to do.

As the gap between us was growing
and the end was coming fast
I knew I had to stand alone
and learn to deal with all my past.

It's been two years since we parted
and I grow stronger every day,
I had the chance to stand alone,
was it right for me? I can only hope and pray

Bedtime Blues

Time to brush your teeth you two, its nearly time for bed,
just five more minutes please mum, we can't find barbies head!
I sigh and climb the stairs again, so scared of what i'll find,
yes! i thought so! a tornado hit, leaving devistation behind.

Toys, crayons and jigsaws lay scattered on the floor,
dress up clothes disregarded, not used for fantasy no more,
my best heels and make up scattered on the bed,
the lipstick on the covers a vibrant shade of red!

We tidy up a little bit, at least we see the floor,
we locate barbies lovely head, hanging from the wardrobe door!
I carry on with courage and put everything in its place, 
"come on girls help me please" as we start the tidy up race.

It looks a lot more cleaner as everything goes back in its box,
"oh no whats that smell" i found a pair of smelly socks!
At last the room is tidy and everything is in its place,
"time to brush your teeth now girls, and clean that mucky face"

As I tuck you both into bed i feel my heart soar,
yes there is madness in this house of mine
from the kids that i adore.

Shining Sun

You slipped away without us Mum and I don't know what to do,
nothing could prepare me from the pain of losing you,
my heart just keeps breaking time and time again mum,
how are we meant to cope when we have lost our shining sun?

You were head of our family even dad know you were top, 
and head chief of the wednesday club holding centre court,
we laughed, we ate, we gossiped, and gave each other support,
yet all too soon it was time to go and we packed up without missing a beat,
with cuddles and kisses we went for the bus leaving Tuffy eating his treat.

We all loved you Mum and I know you knew you were loved by everyone,
and we are trying to do you proud but it gets harder every day,
because we lost you Mum, our beautiful shining sun.

Not My Eyes

Its late at night when the demons come,
I have no where to hide, no place to run
I have to live and relive each box that i closed,
as memories come back i remember all my fears and woes.

You took so much from me at such a young age
my innocence striped bare my emotions exposed,
I try to be strong, not shed any tears
but reliving my nightmares, brings back all my fears.

That innocent wee girl just looking for a safe place,
from the kicks and the slaps for having the wrong face
but I met with the devil with my own brown eyes,
as i tried to understand the meaning behind all the lies.

I was branded a liar who only thought of herself, 
who wanted to break the family because i was so bad,
I cant understand it that mum never saw,
that my body was broken and my eyes were just sad.

So I was punished at home for not having thier eyes,
but i was only a child, i never knew the whys
Why could you both not just send me away,
rather than be blamed for your sins day after day.

I have to stand on my own now and fight to the end,
and get justice for the wee girl and try to start to mend.

Manic Mums

Is it any wonder that we want to scream and shout
but we hold it in so nicely, too scared to let it out,
running ragged round the clock, and slightly round the bend,
there's washing, ironing and dishes, whenever will it end.

Pulling on a rubber glove, straightening up a chair, 
taking out the rubbish, clearing a plughole full of hair,
hoovering the carpet, another sticky bit of glue,
new drawings on my paintwork,
mind you its a very nice shade of blue!

Cleaning muddy footprints off the kitchen floor,
scrubbing chocolate fingerprints covering the door,
dusting all the pictures of the family i adore,
see its not that great a wonder,
because its never been a chore.

Bonfire Night

On bonfire night I can feel my tummy twisting, tickling and turning all over my insides.
The warmth of the fire heating my face, as the smoke makes my eyes water.
The large fence keeping us safe as we watch the display,
The steaming cup of hot chocolate, warming my hands yet burning my tongue!

On bonfire night I can taste the hot chocolate running down my throat,
The smell from the gunpowder tickling in my nose.
As I watch my breath in the cold air blowing out into the night.
Oh don’t you just love Bonfire night?

On bonfire night I can see the Catherine Wheels,
Spinning round and round
The children, squealing with delight as the rockets light up the night sky,
Gold, green and silver glitter and dance
As the sprinkling of sparkles makes us fall into a trance.

On bonfire night, I feel all warm and happy inside,
As I see all the faces happy with glee.
I know they are all thinking the same thing as me,
Oh I just can’t wait till next bonfire night

Globe Lie

I heard today that the Earth is flat, tell me my friends what do we think of that,
have we been lied to for years and years, from the government, our country and most of our peers?

I looked into it and I know that they are right, but what does it mean for me, do I stand up and fight?
I have a good job, a wife and a home, I don't want to be a flat earther standing alone!
so I will put my blinkers back on and hide my shamefull face, and get back on the treadmill and rejoin the rat race,

For the ones who are brave and stand up and fight, who won't be knocked down when they know that they are right,
I salute you and hope that one day you will prove that the Earth is not spinning, in fact it does not move,
that water is not bendy, and gravity has no pull, that Newton's law and Einsteins were just theories, not a proven rule.
Too many questions unanswered but they will someday have thier voice, when all governments will have to tell the truth, there will be no other choice.

More land may be discovered, but for now they will bide thier time, as each lie is being unravelled, and NASA's truths are undermined, they will all stand together and fight the truth till the end, that we don't live on a globe and that 
           WATER DOES NOT BEND!!

Alone

Yesterday I saw so cleary the person you have become.
Yet another guy in my life only thinking of number one

To try to scare me so blantently, and bring up my abuse,
Whatever the reason behind all this, there's really no excuse.

You broke the marriage vows and your the one to blame 
While your safely tucked in prison,
it's me who carries your shame.

You'll never know the girls hurt, but then again what do you care,
you don't live in the real world, you would not even dare.

I only ask one thing of you, and this comes from the heart
leave us alone to start again we deserve a brand new start.

You have to start out on your own, and walk the road you chose
The chapter with your wife and kids is definitely now closed 

You know what we've been through, so let us walk away
Don't let two innocent girls, 
carry your scars for one more day
You chose the life you wanted, so please just close the door,
don't look up, don't look back, we don't want you anymore!
