Drinking for comfort, f*****g for food

A take on a single mums plight

Four different fathers
a monochrome brood
drinking for comfort
and f*****g for food.
Best before blow jobs
use before shags
payment in polythene
half empty bags.
Laying and lying
but only to self
shop soiled, outdated,
left on the shelf

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

What people do sometimes looking for a place to feel loved and belong- sadness as it’s self destruction but each has a path to walk- pray people learn to love themselves no matter where they come from- very direct and full of passion and truth- great words- make people think🌹

[Gee]

Fleetingly perhaps. Thank you

[Coyote Poetry]

Wow. Hard, direct and powerful words. Some people devalued their self and become invisible and forgotten. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.

Cheers back to you and is snowing near you?

[Gee]

It is indeed. Only minus 6 but windy.....I HATE THE COLD. Doesn't help I work outside in construction so have another cold day ahead.

[Coyote Poetry]

I saw the photos. I hate the cold too.

That is the reality for many. The circle closes at a very early age and for those trapped inside, there is rarely a way out.

It is to the shame of the politicos and the useless hand wringers and jobsworths, that they turn their collective backs away from the problem.
No! Actually it's not that simple is it. They know, oh how well they know; but collateral damage is just that and viewed from the Ivory towers of the establishment, perfectly acceptable.

I'm actually a single mum; but fortunately for me the circle never closed.

Your son will have the deepest love and utmost respect for all that you do in raising him alone as I do for my old mum who raised 7 of us and adopted two of my sister's kids to raise.
I tip my hat to you.
Hope you both have a great new year.
Thank you

[Gee]

If it's what you know you know no different

[O'Musings]

no judgement at all . I wish we ALL lived in a world of no suffering, abuse, poverty , disease, homelesssness , rape, terror .. the sad reality is that people do expereince this day in day out

Eating is a hell of a habit to break... we survive as we must and just sometimes share fingertips softly holding a hand that understands what a hug can mean.

[Gee]

Being held without expectation, didn't happen much in the street of 1 parent families I was raised in.
Thanks for the RR Chris

[Chris]

I know Gee... but sometimes hope gets answered...

[Stacy Purvis]

Oh my god. Ha! Well, there you have it, I suppose. Interesting, fun read.

Hits hard, straight and true on the point. This jaunty flowing piece is full of pathos Gee.

[Gee]

Thank you John

[Norah]

Right to the point!
It was a sad poem to read but it was filled with so many true emotions I can tell.

[Gee]

Thank you..

[SJ Mullins]

This piece was hard for me to read but we do what we have to do to survive. It's sad to me that women are put in this position. It should not be this way. A bittersweet write for me but brutally honest. Well done!

[Gee]

Thank you..

[SJ Mullins]

You are most welcome!
