I know it's belated
But I'd still just like to say
That I love you and I wish you
A Happy Mother's day
Mother's day may have already passed
Oh, how very true
But Mother's day can be everyday
Especially for a mother like you
I see how hard you have to work
I can sense your inner pain
But if you come to me I will make it better
And I will release your hurt into the rain
I will mend your broken wings
I will mend your heart with glue
So you can fly once again
And see the world anew
Weeping may endure for a time
But joy is constantly near
You just have to reach out and touch it
And you will feel happier, my dear
I can only hope my words console
The raw pain that is fresh and new
When you wake up tomorrow don't forget what I've said
And just remember that no matter what I will always love you

So many misinterpreted metaphors
make me cringe
''are you trying to ruin poetry for everyone''
but I hide my damp eyes behind my fringe
because I mustn't argue and my teachers are never wrong
They sing without a meaning or lyric in their song
we are taught to write what they want to hear
not the truth we feel inside our hopes and fears

But i must turn the other cheek
to get my degree I need..when home I ponder, I weep
because it was the school that killed poetry
for many of my peers..
But all is not lost..wipe away those tears
Grab the pen that feels ethical
the paper that doesn't deceive, doesn't lie
and write a poem that you can feel
you'll get out of school alive
