For A While

I've not been on long for a while

My hearts been broken for a while 

My feelings have been taken to trial

But I've been thinking a while

So many people around me but feeling lonely 

I'm a mother but sometimes it's hard to find me

Some times I just long for trust

Not many peoples wishes but I'm begging I must 

Unload my troubles 

To some people I could be speaking just bubbles

But it's hard sometimes 

Being alone at night.

“Speaking just bubbles” is a good image.

That last line is like a pedestal propping the rest of the piece up.

Well done.?
