A Mothers Love
Sinking slowly into despair
So many things I feel are unfair
A good heart which is always misunderstood
As madness insane by those who seek to look good
I’m me I don’t mean to offend you!
I want to connect I want you to be proud
Don’t judge me I’m me..and that I’m aloud
Aloud to be me as you are to be you
Don’t ask me to change me to suit what you do
I can’t change the me and I’ll not do it for you
If you love me you’ll respect who I am
I’m not something you can control
I’m your mum I am me…don’t ask me to be
Another more wise more composed more demise
I’m me…only me….and I love you see
I love you for all of the bad bits and good
I love you the way that no one else could
Is it too much to ask you to love me the same way
You are not perfect is all I can say
Can you love me if I’m not perfect too?
