See M.E.

I’m sending out a invite to

society to enter the world of

M.E.

As you enter my room please be

aware of the deafening silence

and the stillness everywhere.

When you open the closet you

will see my neatly pressed

uniform still brand new to me .

You see I never made it to school

that year I thought I could and

not the years after despite they

said I should .

Now I wear it in a place every

day that dosen’t seem so far

away .

In that place I have so much fun

my friends all laugh and we like

to run .

There is a man down the road

I think he sixty three but when

he is in his special place he looks

nineteen to you and me .

He about to start University

with dreams so big and bright

but suddenly they disappeared

over night .

There is a lady in another street

a proud mum who now hears

tiny feet .

They trample through her room

asking her to play and she tries

with all her best she never would

say go away .

When she is in that special place

she pushes the swing with all

her might and her heart fills

with joy as her son whoops with

delight .

As this world keeps turning

please spare a thought for us .

We never asked to live in our

dreams we never wanted the

fuss.

We asked for a life like you with

hope and memories fulfilled too .

One day our dreams could

become real but it takes a big

commitment from you to always

remember to see us too .
