Stay Strong Around Here

Scratch your message on the rock
Do not walk on sand
The sea around here is furious
Your efforts will be washed away

Its easier said than done
When all the rules are set
And mum is watching, with headed eyes
If you will fall or stay.
For months I have watched
As sickness ravaged her body
Till from fat she became thin
And she turned listless
Her eyes not seing again
And I tried
To stay strong around here
Because that the advice I get
But all I feel like
Is crumbling like bread around here

Scratch your message on the rock
Do not walk on sand
The sea here is furious
Your effort will be washed away
