New start

Never doing what I’m supposed to,
Not listening to my mother’s strained voice.
I was not caring, not nice.
Trails of clothes strewn on the floor,
Leading nowhere, just maybe,
A wall.

With every blowout everyone gets hurt.
A barrier of stone that is not easily put down
This shouldn’t be like this and I do not
Want to be the one responsible for my brother’s sometimes bitter heart.
This year I want to get along.

I know that all of this is not my fault,
But I play a big part too.
All we can do is pave our way,
This time leading to a brand new road.
This year I want to have a strong relationship with my mom.

What happened to those days full of sunshine?
And the singing birds? Where are they now?
We have then here sometimes but,
Stormy days come our way.
We want the wind to push the dark clouds away.
This year I hope for having good memories in my house, with my family.

Cover the bitter cake, cover it all.
Have sweet icing draping all over it.
Making the bitterness go away.
I will try with al my strength to not have arguments.
This year I hope for and will have a happy house.
