There’s a woman sitting at home
with the TV on, all alone
Her family is out at work or play
it looks like it’s gonna be a long day
So she sits and reads, dreaming away
of a different life where she had a say
Where she was treated like a queen
and be noticed and be seen
But it doesn’t work that way she knows
for she’s been left behind and cannot grow
She brought up the kids and done the hard work
but it’s as if that’s it, this is what hurts
To be able to see her friends once in a while
those that live close, those away by miles
Sometimes she wants to fulfil past dreams
but lost they are, blown like leaves from a tree
So she does her best for her family
living her life so steadily
Putting herself last as always
as she will for all her days
But she just wants more than this
she wants some personal happiness
Be it a lost dream or a few days away
a life less stale, one with play
I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
