Hurt

I may not be bleeding but inside I feel pain

You said you would be there but you’ve let me down again

Another broken promise, another careless lie

I try and move on but my mind keeps asking why

Do you know what you are doing? Is it simply a game?

Your excuses keep coming but they’re becoming rather lame

I gave you my time when you needed it the most

But when I needed you, you suddenly became a ghost

Chorus

You hurt me inside

But you won’t see me cry

Your words are empty promises

Why can’t I say goodbye

The feeling won’t go away

It’s stays for while

The heart wants to give you chance

But my head is in denial

Bridge

Something you said last night suck in my mind

I saw who you are, why was I so blind

You didn’t know I was listening when you said those words about me

If someone had have told me I would have had to disagree

How could you be so hurtful after everything I’ve done?

My mind was so alive but my body had gone numb

Fly Away Child

You’ve found your wings and now you have flown

The bravest little boy we have ever known

A struggle you should never have had to fight

No more pain now you’re on your eternal flight

You’ve touched so many hearts in your short stay

You will always be remembered each and every day

Many tears will be shed throughout the land

People rallying round to offer a supporting hand

You smiled and laughed until the very end

You’ve lost your battle but won many new friends

Know doubt you’ll be making friends above

Looking down on us with nothing but love

Why was someone so young taken away again?

Tears from heaven will bring the pouring rain

Be safe tonight child above the moonlit sky

Our love, tears and thoughts with you as you fly

NQT

A dream you had since you were a little kid

To have a job that you adore

Everyday you count your lucky stars

But teaching is much much more

From day one at Uni it was all about a file

Will you get all the standards met?

The stress, the workload and the time

And you haven’t met the class yet!

At the end of Uni you get your first job

Think storage and head off to Ikea

The excitement builds for the first day

What to do now?  You have no idea

Six weeks in and the marking is piling up

Your social life has taken a dent

School work constantly on your mind

From the everyday planning to the assessment

Christmas arrives with the madness that it brings

The children are all up the wall

Your looking forward to your two week break

 You’ve survived the Autumn Fall

Back after the break and not much changed

The hours are wasting away

Working non stop from dusk till dawn

Always working and no time to play

Workload increases as reports to write

Saying the same thing on everyone

Looking back, how did you survive?

Because you don’t know where the year has gone

Does it get easier you ask yourself?

As the summer sun finally comes out

You have to reapply for your own job

What’s that all about?

You luck is in and you have another year

You now know what to expect

The year is basically all the same

You are delighted with the planning you kept

It does get easier the old timer says

You just learn how to prioritise

Seeing those children grow and learn

Now that’s the ultimate prize!
