My lips may be silent but my mind is always racing my boady looks normal but thats just the shell its cased in movments that look unatural because you dont understand its all in her head thats at a glance trembaling with pain hopeing it dont rain here comes the winter time for double the pain kids want me to take them to school but mummie cant walk to far to see you go to school trips to the park i missed you having fun preciouse moment that will never return im trying to make memories but its the pain you see this is just a day in the life of me so if you see me and im not "normal" dont judge me just try and understand i have more going on than you can comprehend ?

I particularly like this bit @natz2009, I think it's a powerful message. Do you find it helpful to express yourself through poetry?

natz2009

Ty n yes sometimes its easier to express through poems than to talk about things but sometimes it can be just as hard glad you liked it xx

I have loved reading the poetry. I am 2nd year into a creative writing degree and love writing poetry it can be very cathartic. Someone mentioned their poetry not rhyming, it doesnt need to. Poetry can be rhyming or not
Well done all, thoroughly entertaining read!

I sit and wonder where time has gone

 I was once a child living with my mom

Brothers and sisters and our dad too

In our tiny house where we all grew

We played in the streets till after dark

Dossing with other kids in the park

Knocking on doors and running away

Was one of the fun games we used to play

We all grew up and left our little home

Got hitched and had a family of our own

Now parents have gone and kids have grown

I look to the future and the unknown.

 I sit and think about the years gone by

How so rapid and quickly it did fly

It scares me now how fast the years ahead

Will hasten as fast and fills me with dread

To My Mother

No other passion can surpass the grace
Of the nurture to a child from a mothers embrace
No finer love could I receive than this
To have such love given with so much tenderness 
No other love could I ever return
Other than the love you clearly deserve
From the very first day and throughout my life
Your guidance and your sacrifice
Opened up the world and made me strong
Helped me through to make me belong
Without a thought for your own desires
You toiled and laboured throughout the years
What greater gift could a woman give
Other than to bear a child with such tender bliss

Now within the dwindling years
Courage and fierce but still with grace
Fading eyes that shine no more
And legs that tremble that were once so sure
The once pounding heart beats softer now
Still filled with love and ever pure
As a child my love for you was certain sure
Today I love you all the more
What man could not love his mother so.
