You were my guardian angel You were my song You were my miracle You were ill for so long On the day of your funeral I watched a dove As it flew up to visit you above The last gift I got you meant a lot It was a dolphin charm I had got I listened to your favourite poem It sounded grand It was a lovely poem footprints in the sand But most of all you were my mother Best of all you were like no other. For you Mum |

Why do we waste our time And why wont the show us a sign When a young girl sits at home With a knife in the palm of her hand And as she sits and cries alone She thinks nobody understands She things why is it all a waste of time As she stares at the scars on her hands You see it’s her only way to compensate For this ever lasting building hate That burns inside her mind Somebody show her a sign |
When a young boy leaves his home
Nothing but his clothes and mobile phone He thinks why should it come to this The point where I wont be missed So many things I have to say But it seems as though I have no way To express what lay inside He just hides behind his shield of pride And as he carries on, his life & home are gone He’ll wind up alone now the streets are his new home You see teen life seems like a waste of time Somebody really needs to show all of these kids a sign Ryan, aged 16, Corringham |
