anger
the heat you feel is not controlled...
the life youve lived is anger mould...
but is there now a reason why?...
is it enough to make you cry...
has a life been oh so wasted...
with all the anger you have tasted...
why was it not seen before?...
the anger seeped within your core...
and now they say there is a reason...
for your anguish every season...
all the pain and hurt and tears...
all the sadness and the fears...
takes a lifetime of the scenes...
from childhood, right through to teens...
then along to adulthood...
all the years...

To feel the pride
Strength is not just in small form...
It sits inside just as a storm...
Gets so strong, so hard to hold...
Your arms sometimes, too hard to fold...
Your heart it swells so much to hide...
The strength it holds deep inside...
I feel this as I look with love...
My arms spread as a flying dove...
To hug my kids with all Ive got...
Coz as for pride, I have the lot...
If anything in my life ive done...
I had a beautiful baby son...
Then a second, and my girl...
She sings and dances with a twirl...
I look at them all,but I dont weep...

To be a Mum
To watch from birth, your babies grow...
Takes a Mum for that to no...
To see them learn and run and play...
Digging deep holes in the clay...
Climbing trees and throwing mud...
In the bath, soak in the suds...
Crying, coz youve hurt yourself...
Mum hug, when flu strikes your health...
Ask Dad, can I have the car?...
No son, not a chance by far...
Mum, you'll let me, this I no...
Here son, heres the keys, now go...
Rugby time, Mum come and watch...
Woolies on, warm up a knotch...
Bike rides, Dad can we all go?...
Of course you can,...

memories
Sitting on my own to think...
Visions of my my life to link...
With the future now to mold...
Love and loss, like pure gold...
In our minds to ponder on...
Sadness, that now needs be gone...
Looking back on how things were...
Sometimes can cause quite a stir...
But then good times do come through...
When I think of good of you...
Where we lived, and of our friends...
Arguements, we made amends...
Times at school, and bunking days...
Sneaking out, our boyfriends place...
Dancing, laughing, having fun...
Getting sunburnt in the sun......

Go away
Your days are gone, no-more for you...
You make me sick, I want to spew...
Go and play your games elsewhere...
I'll tell your man, but will he care...
Does he no you want your ex?...
Or is he there just for the sex?...
Does he no you buy him gifts...
Cards and things, you'll have some tiffs...
If I tell him, of your wee games...
Then your playing seems quite lame...
You stupid twat, just go away...
The time has passed, you've had your day...
Do I have to be more blunt...
Ive told you your a stupid #%&*...
Now im getting angry see......

games
Keep your games for someone else...
your interference, waste of space...
Your just a thorn in my side...
I wont be beat, it is my pride...
Your stupid games, they make me sick...
Be careful now, you'll get a kick...
Try as you may, you wont succeed...
A joke like you, he dosnt need...
So way you go, get far from here...
Your just not needed, nowhere near...
You think to dress youself all up...
Is gona get there? wellnup!...
So take your scraggy butt away...
Before I get to have my say...
Get back to where you do belong...

to take some time!
A dear old lady, sits alone!
Her faithful dog, eats a bone!
Walk on by and say hello!
Watch her face as it glows!
Dear old man, crossing the road!
Help with his bags, carry a load!
Visit a resthome, chat a while!
Watch the elderly, as they smile!
Take their hand, for a walk!
Sit a while, have a talk!
Listen to their stories told!
Their life, before age got too old!
The past of how things were for them!
Their families and their dearest friends!
A hug, it will just make their day!
Their happy face, no need to say!
So take some to...

Me and you!
I'd hold your hand and squeeze it tight...
You taught me how to box and fight...
We laughed and joked, we sung our songs...
Mum would growl us, for our wrongs...
When we'd be late, home for tea...
Or spend too much time, at the sea...
We walked and talked and laughed and played...
I wish so much that you had stayed...
But God he wanted you back home...
My life went cold just like a gnome...
The songs we sung were now no more...
My heart, I felt it, as it tore...
Mum never ever loved again...
Alone shes been since way back then...
So much...

My life!
Born into a family...
A mum and dad, and five more see...
My three brothers, two sisters too...
With all that many, who'd be blue?...
But life isnt all you see...
Well it really wasnt at all for me...
Mum and Dad, they worked alot...
Being the youngest, alot I got...
Sisters hated that you see...
They werent very nice to me...
But brothers were,not so mean...
They tricked me, tho I wasnt keen...
They played tricks and fooled around...
Hiding places, without a sound..
Out they'd jump and make me scream...
But all in fun, they were...

And they're my sisters?
Much like the cinderella book...
Theres me and them, just take a look...
The two of them they are as one...
Knock the sister back! what fun...
I watched for years, I read you both...
I stood on back, I took my oath...
To never trust a word you say...
Deciet was just your way of play...
Your bitter jealousy, yesit reined...
But strength in me, in time I gained...
To stand up strong, and tell you straight...
To be my sisters, its too late...
I loved you both, but you did not...
You'd bully me, I'd lose the plot...
You evil, skeaming, lying...

Hollow
Ever felt emptiness locked in your heart...
Ever felt your heart was tearing apart...
The empty it feels when kicked once again...
How many times, does it have to mend...
The soul it gets taken, and then is returned...
Once again fitted to heart, and then burned...
Why can the heart feel so, empty and lost...
To love once again, it is at our cost...
As strange as it seems, we cant get away...
The emptiness found, within just one day...
So how do we fix this, where do we go...
How many times does this hollowness show...
As soon as we stand and...
