Crying
Jemimah May 2019
Why do I keep on crying?
I do not know what for
Why do I keep on crying?
It's happening more and more

Why do I keep on crying?
It's not that I'm upset
Why do I keep on crying?
My eyes keep getting wet

Why do I keep on crying?
It's nothing I have done
Why do I keep on crying?
I've just been having fun

Why do I keep on crying?
It's happening everyday
Why do I keep on crying?
I hope it's not here to stay.

Why do I keep on crying?
I just can't seem to stop
Why do I keep on crying?
My head is going to pop

Why do I keep on crying?
Think something's wrong with me
Why do I keep on crying?
Don't let anybody see

Why do I keep on crying?
I feel I'm starting to moan
Why do I keep on crying?
Just want to be left alone

Why do I keep on crying?
Don't really want to talk
Why do I keep on crying?
Think I'll just go for a walk.

A World of Silence
Jemimah Apr 2019
Imagine a world where the volume button was muted,
Where sound had been wiped out,
Where people spoke quieter than a whisper,
Where all you heard was nout.

Imagine a world where birds flew without a sound,
Where dogs didn't growl or bark,
Where the **** didn't ****-a-doodle in the morning,
Where foxes didn't scream in the dark.

Imagine a world where babies cried in silence,
Their tiny giggles went unheard,
Where the first words uttered from a baby,
Was nothing but a written word.

Imagine a world where music didn't exist,
Where dancing and singing's not there,
Nor the tune played on a piano,
Or a merry-go-round at a fair.

A lesson's to be learned within these lines,
It's not a nice one but it's true,
You must always remember, don't ever forget,
This world, one day, may happen to you.

Someone I Love
Jemimah Apr 2019
I'll tell you a story
About someone I love,
His been in my life
We're similar, kind of.

He can be quite funny
In the things that he does
And also quite silly
And this is because...

He does little things,
that makes me laugh,
He likes his few beers
And a very hot bath,

He drove an old larder,
When I was so high
Its what I remember,
It's In my minds eye.

When I was so little
I remember when we
Used to go to the park
What fun that would be.

We'd play in the snow
On a very cold day
We'd have such a good time,
But then he would say....

"It's time to go home now,
It's time for some lunch,
My tummy is rumbling
Let's find something to munch"

We'd sit round the table,
To have a nice treat,
Like cake or a biscuit,
Something delicious to eat,

The times that we had,
This someone and I,
How we laughed and we cried,
When I said good-bye.

He has such a kind heart,
He'd do anything for me,
He's someone I love,
He's called my daddy.

Dust
Jemimah May 2019
Dust is such a curious thing,
From clumps of fluff
To flakes of skin,
It gets up doors,
And on the walls,
It's gets in cracks
Beneath the floors
It makes you sneeze
It makes you cough
It gets between a load of stuff
It can be thin
It can be thick
Just give it a scrub
Or give it a flick
Either way it's always there
Mountains for all
And plenty to share
It's back everyday
To come out and play
With my duster and feather head friend
So with duster in hand
I'm there on command
To eliminate and bring to its end.

The Unknown Singer
Jemimah Apr 2019
It's very dark here, I can't see a thing,
I'm very cosy and warm,
I can't hear that much,
Things are muffled and low,
But I'm sure I hear somebody sing?

The next day I hear that singing once more,
Somewhat stronger,
Yet so very soft,
I close my eyes and fall asleep,
So warm and I feel so secure.

When I awake, I Start to open my eyes,
I can just about see
Something move,
This must be my arm, at the end is my hand,
How amazing! Oh what a surprise .

My eyes readjust.  What's that over there?
I see something else starting to move,
It must be my legs,
With my feet and my toes,
So amazing! I do nothing but stare.

I wonder who has that beautiful voice?
Sending me to sleep everyday,
I need to stretch out,
Get more comfortable,
Coz that singing just makes me rejoice.

I'm growing quite big now,
Getting quite cramped,
How I'd love to move about and stretch,
That singing has now turned into screams,
I need to make it stop! But how?

"Just one more push and here's your little one,"
I hear somebody shout very loud,
It's getting so bright,
I let out a squeal,
My warm little home has all gone.

Now I am snuggled, I'm hearing a hum,
It's that singing,
The song that I loved.
I wonder who sings it, I just love that voice,
I look up, and realise it's mum.

Enough is Enough
Jemimah Apr 2019
Enough is enough
why can't you see?
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me?

Enough is enough
I can't take anymore
I don't know what I've done
What are you hurting me for?

Enough is enough
I'm going insane,
Why won't you stop
My heart is in pain

Enough is enough
I just need to be loved
Snuggled and cuddled
Not screamed at or shoved

Enough is enough
Time to turn a new page
Stop being a child
And start by acting your age.

Enough is enough
Oh Why can't you see?
Take a grip of yourself
And start to love me.

Cafe Coffee
Jemimah May 2019
In a café drinking coffee,
Watching people pass on by,
People happy People sad,
Babies in prams starting to cry,

I wonder where these people are going?
What their lives are like truly?
Are they loved or are they beaten?
Are they happy or treated cruely?

Lots of things go through my mind,
When watching people on the street,
What that person's really like,
Or if it's a person I'd like to meet.

You can not really know for sure,
What goes on behind a closed door,
They may look happy, loved or rich,
But maybe they're sad, unloved or poor.

So while I sit down drinking coffee,
I wonder how it would be,
To put myself in one of their shoes,
And show a bit of empathy.

Drinking
Jemimah May 2019
Why do you keep on drinking?
You don't know when to stop
Pint after pint of carlsburg
You're drinking it like pop.

Why do you keep on drinking?
You're drinking every day,
All reasoning flies out the window,
Be careful what I say.

Why do you keep on drinking?
Your breath is starting to stink
Down goes another pint of carlsburg
You know you can't take your drink.

You know how drink starts to change you,
But this you choose to ignore
It's affecting the way how you think you know,
But you're drinking more and more.

So why do you keep on drinking?
Why do you say "it's fine!"
It's not a few like one or two,
It's more like eight or nine!

You've got to stop this habit ,
You've got to take a break
You've got to start by listening ,
Coz you're making my heart ache.

But will this become reality?
Will you ring that one last bell?
Will you see how drink makes you think and act?
Well, only time will tell...

My Friend
Jemimah Apr 2019
I'll tell you a story,
A story so fine,
This story involves,
A good friend of mine.

My friend and I met,
When I was quite small,
I was still a baby,
Just starting to crawl.

She knows when I'm happy,
She knows when I'm sad,
She knows all my secrets,
That I've ever had.

I'm friends with her now,
I see her everyday,
She's the best friend I've had,
She knows me in every way.

She's knows all my life,
And what's on my mind,
I can honestly say,
she's one of a kind.

So who is this friend?
I'm hearing you mention.
She's nobody special,
She's just my reflection

How Do You Feel?
Jemimah Apr 2019
Tell me:
how do you feel?
When you see this world in such a mess
Full of anger, full of stress,
Full of war,
But what's it for?
People wanting more and more.

Tell me:
How do you feel?
When people die
And you don't know why
When children beg along the street
With no shoes upon their feet
Ignored by everyone they meet.

Tell me:
How do you feel?
How nothing's fair, there's no justice,
Can not ignore, can not miss,
Can not start to walk on by,
And give out one tremendous sigh

Tell me:
How do you feel?
When you see people in pain
The crippled and the lame
Struggling here and there
It's So unfair

Tell me:
How would you feel?
If you could make things right
And turn the dark into the light
Make the blind regain their sight
What would you do?
What is the case?
To make this world a better place?

— The End —
