The YWHP Poem

16 months gone
And here I am waiting to move on.
It’s been a struggle but lots of fun
Here at the YWHP is where my new life begun.

I was nervous and scared
And wanted to go home.
The other girls were nasty
And I felt so alone.

Things got a little better
As time went by,
But I didn’t like the staff
And all I seemed to do was cry.

Then a few months on
Everything was fine,
I trusted some staff
But it did take time.

We went out on trips,
Oh how we laughed.
Not everything is serious
And the staff can be so daft.

The YWHP
Is a really good place to be,
And it’s really helped me
Even with the staff always on my case.

The project is cool
And staff always take the piss,
But when I fall and feel the fool
“hello” some sympathy wouldn’t go amiss.

Some of the staff seem mad
And some are quite calm.
The house isn’t all that bad –
It’s just that bloody fire alarm.

Soon I’m leaving
So I’ll say goodbye,
And I’m sure the staff won’t be grieving
And they definitely won’t cry.

I’ll never forget you
Or the help you gave.
All this is true
But hey, I’m not dying and going to my grave.

So if you stay in touch
And don’t forget my name,
I would like that very much
As I’m really glad it was here where I came.

Three Two One – Now I’m gone.
