[hometext] => It's just one more coin in the jar.
[bodytext] => Mama, please... Hey Mama... Can you help me? There's a monster in my closet And he's screaming my name And I'm too afraid to move Until you say it's okay But I won't cry no more I'm just tattered and torn And I'll walk one more step Just, please, don't let me walk away Hey Mama, can you hear me? They're laughing at me again And the names are ringing in my ears Like flies feeding on dying optimism But I'm too ashamed to look them in the eye And I need you to take away the pain But I won't cry no more I'm just tattered and torn But I'll take one more step Just, please, don't let me walk away And Mama, are you listening? I walked the wrong way and they're all staring Only now you're the one who won't wipe away the tears What choice was wrong will never breathe again But I need you to look at my face and love me like you did And I won't cry no more I'm just tattered and torn And I'm losing my breath, But I'll take one more step, Just please don't walk away Hey Mama, can you see? The clergy lies and the smiles are so fake Two joined hands just mean another mistake I see you, the only one without plastered joy on your face Don't tell me I'm wrong, just let me walk my own way But please, just don't turn away And I won't cry no more I'm just tattered and torn And the light's fading from my eyes But I'm taking one more step Just please, stop walking away Mama, are you blind? Everything is gone All I have are my hands To cradle what's left of my falling identity And mama, they're still staring And, my god, they're still crowded around my doorstep Yelling over each other to tell me the choices I should have made And I need you to just please come back to my door and make them go away. And I won't cry no more I'm just tattered and torn And my last will is dying But I took one more step Just please tell me why you walked away. Hey Mama, are you listening? There's a monster down the hallway And he's screaming my name So loud that the clouds know my pain And I'm so afraid to move Until you tell me it's okay [comments] => 2 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 23 [informant] => unfallentears [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
