My World by GM

The knock at the door

We hide in the bedroom

The black plastic bin bag on the window gives us protection

She won't see us, hush and she won't hear us.

The baby warm and snuggle

Unaware of my struggle;

She's here to meet me, here to greet me, here to street me

She won't see us, hush and she won't hear us.

My world is here, these 4 rooms;

The universe outside my front door

Too big, too wild, too bright, too unpredictable

She won't see us, hush and she won't hear us.

She's been here before, she knows what she saw:

I am stuck in deep water, I cannot feel my daughter,

I am frozen with fear.

I hope she cannot hear.

The mother and baby group is

Probably just what I need, but

I cannot face the enormity

Of the step through my door.

She'll go away

But you'll not have anyone to play...

She won't see us, hush and she won't hear us

She'll go away.
