Rosser C

Mam helped me carry boxes in Ground floor, room 14 She didn’t say much Just kept looking round

My room’s smaller than I thought Single bed, desk, wardrobe Window looks out at the car park Could’ve been worse I suppose

We went to Tesco before Got pasta and beans and bread She kept adding things to the trolley “Just in case”

Back in the room she made the bed for me Even though I said I’d do it Brought cleaning stuff from home Fairy liquid, toilet roll, the lot

She cried a bit Tried to hide it but I saw Said she was just being daft Gave me a hug that lasted ages

When she left I sat on the bed Rosser C, room 14 Could hear someone’s music through the wall Different now innit

Unpacked my stuff slowly Put posters up wonky Looked at my phone Three missed calls from mam already
