The hills
I was born in a shack ,amongst the rambling hills
My mumma she was drunk ,my pa well he took pills
They both said nothing would become of me
So I packed my sack ,I was gonna be free
Nothing on my feet ,each step they blead
Staying in the the hills well I would rather be dead.
I walked through so many ice cold nights
All I saw in my head was uncontrollable fights
I slept upon bales of old hay ,
my life's gonna change cos I am made that way
Those hills weren't ever meant for me.i sigh
Years passed by in the blink of my eye
I had my babes ,but they never asked why
Where's granny and grandpa too
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I made up stories, best they never ever knew
I ran from the hills before I was a teen
Nothing on my feet ,but after what I,d seen
My babes each one mean the world to me
I smile to myself cos I am so free ,I am so free .
