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!

How I beat depression

How I beat depression How I beat depression ,  it started with a pill ,

The numbness that it brought me Was amazing to start , until,

Your body just feels wrong

You don’t enjoy your favorite things

The days they feel so long

 

So I tried something different I

stopped the pills again

No more drinking alcoho

l I started to abstain

Mum, can I have a party

Mum can I have a party 

those dreaded words to hear 

for the mum who hates to socialise 

but have to once a year 

 

The birthday balloons 

Those upbeat tunes 

fake smiles all around 

The screaching  kids 

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’...
