story of my life...

My toes are cold
my head is numb
I even have goosebumps all over my bum

My ears are cold
my fingers are gone
I think I’ll be freezing right up until dawn

My back is aching
my shoulders are breaking
my mom is reading
while I am here pleading

I ask, I ask
will you come tuck me in?

but she leaves me alone
so sad, so grim.

story of my life... by

I wrote this a few years ago when I was in bed and I was really cold and my mom wouldn’t come and tuck me in, I’m pretty sure I also wanted a back massage..

    This is really engaging writing. A little sad, but line 3 made me giggle. Fab!

    haha, thank you and thank you :]
    it all comes from real life experiences too,
    when my mom didn’t want to come and tuck me in I would write poems like these and she just couldn’t resist ;)
