Chris Roberts 19 Nov 2014:
It’s Christmas!
Joy and laughter, presents and snow
Turkey, crackers, hats and cake
Children playing, noise and fuss …
Stressed and anxious, feeling low
Shouting and music, nowhere to go
Staring, eyes open, tears they flow
Pacing, talking, walking and walking
Heart racing, pounding, I now feel sick
Head spinning and hurting!
It’s Christmas I think.
