I don't own many dresses
or pairs of shoes
Just a few special dresses
that make me look pretty
and a pair or two, of shoes
*sandals for summer
sneakers in Winter*
ten times the amount
I could have spent
was spent on you
I troll around a second hand store
because I think I'm unique
because extra funds bring you hope
denying things are bleak
Food on the table
a roof over your head
the latest Xbox game
cable Internet
my birthday laptop
you're insulting me on
Foxtel
112 Channels
While you sit
under a feather blanket
as others in the world
have yet to be fed
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner
What's that you said?
You don't care what I think?
I don't know what it's like?
I'm destroying your sense
of adventure?
Why don't you twist the knife?
Disrespected for my opinion
when you're green as new grass
Freedom most certainly is a right
but as all rights, it is earned
don't take what is not asked
I lost a most precious gift
because I could not comprehend
the lessons I was trying to teach
were so hard to defend
I'm not asking you to obey me
because I absolute rule your domain
I'm begging you to heed my wisdom
I have a right to remain
The absolute authority
on Life, an expert on how it unfolds
My body agrees by the strecthmarks
it holds,
My heart agrees in its tightness
to the breath it exhales
My soul exalts in its freedom
to breath trueness to its tales
I'm not just wanting to be a parent
I'm wanting to be a voice
a monument to mistakes made
a whisper of choice
A landmark in uncertain territory
a safe haven in a storm
If you defy Wisdom
from absolute tragedy
I become a useless memory
and I'm nothing but a receptacle
for you teenage angst
I'm am nothing
I am the norm

and a second one defies me! I just want to be a good Mum... is that so hard? Apparently, when I know nothing... Amazing I can make it to this age and be so naive..,
