Fingers in fingers,

The doctors say I made it,

Married to the day.

Mother gone home now,

Crying into my lunchbox,

Failing to see friends.

Sixth form just in time,

Blossoming character born,

Old friends still with me.

Mother there but gone,

Sticking to the sofa bored,

Job won’t ever come.

About to be there,

My life has a routine now,

Like it should have had.
