Monsters don’t exist
Monsters don’t exist they say, they aren’t under your bed
I realise now I’m older, it was all just in my head,
but them ones are the scariest, the monsters in your mind,
the ones that make your heartbeat race, the creatures you can’t find.
Only you can feel them there, it’s driving you insane.
your body shakes, your brain, it aches ,from fears that live within,
you cry inside, you’ve got to ...

Gosh these kids are testing
It started an amazing day , i smashed my goal at work
but can't wait to go and see the kids , then realise I'm berserk
the scream the fights and tantrums , my words fall on deaf ears
what started as an epic day has all turned in to tears
i do love being a mummy , love them with all my heart
but gosh these kids are testing , when the rows begin to start!

Mum, can I have a party
Mum can I have a party
those dreaded words to hear
for the mum who hates to socialise

The birthday balloons
Those upbeat tunes
fake smiles all around

it costs hundreds
there's food all on ground
You love to see them with there friends
but can't quite wait for when it ends
Your people skills Arnt up...

Hello, I am a poem
Hello , I am a poem
Your inner thoughts I share
Your feelings and emotions
Those thoughts you cannot bare
Those deep down dreams
And broken seams
That fray from deep within
You let them flow
You start off slow
Then wheels ,they start to spin
Your words they spill
To try and heal
Emotions that you hide
That you push deep
It’s hard to keep
These feelings locked insi...

Mum guilt
Woken up Rudely by a wide awake kid
Her iPad starts blaring , that one that you hid,
It’s 5 in the morning , but she wants to play,
But you’ve hardly slept, not ready for the day ,
You’ve been up all night , on the edge of her bed,
While she sleeps so soundly, sweet dreams in her head,
8 comes round it’s time to get up and go,
But now she is ‘ tired ‘she’...
