    This is one i wrote recently let me know what you think 

    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?

    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
