Mother may I?

 

Mother dear why do you weep?

All I did was go to sleep

I didn’t mean to crack my head

I was simply trying to go to bed

 

I’ve always been a little weird

When I was five I grew that beard

I know that as I grew, you feared

I’d never outgrow my funny ways

You thought id continue odd through all the longs days

I’ve outgrown some but am glad to say it was not, a little phase

 

I was never cautious as you are

I dared to wish upon a star

To travel and wander very far

 

I was happy, I still am but it is harder with us and my constant wrecks

Sometimes you’re good for me and you keep me in check

And other times you simply cause me heck

 For life is not all for woe

Sometimes it pays to stick out your toe

 Or just… go!

 

I am me and always will be

So why can’t you see

Things are meant to be that are

Fate never lets your path stray off far

 

So my little mother hen

Myself, my other side, my schitzo friend

Do not worry we will be fine

I'll be me and you’ll be you

You’ll worry, you’ll fret, you’ll do what it is you do

Oh I wish I wasn’t you

 

But alas it’s simply true

We are necessities you and I

We both fit like a perfect shoe

Though of pain I am not always devoid

Its just another thing none can avoid

 

Damn how I hate the way fate toys!

Are you aware this is the title of a song? (Okay, so it Let It Die, but shh, this one jumped at me more)

What? Oh, poem, right. I can't remember the last time I saw someone actually use the word 'heck', let alone to effectively rhyme something. This is definitely one of your better works, with solid unforced rhyming and a good flow. It gets a little dizzying (though that might be the point) and requires a couple of reads to get a handle on, but it's still a great work. Now I need to find something to complain about in one of your other ones to even this out...

Really good. Best of your writes so far..atleast for me.
The rhyme's good..doesn't feel forced .

Wow I really like this poem. I read it a few times.The beard part added to the description of the characters. Complete poem was very good. So many lines in your poem were strong. Thank you.
