Page 23 - Poems by Alyson Malach - Childhood to Adulthood

A Royal story

I found the love of my life and introduced her to you.

You took her to your hearts as you knew our love was true.
She has worked hard to adapt and adopt our Bri�sh ways.

But some people have put her down day by day by day.

It’s damaged her mental health and further affected mine

But they refused to stop, and the damage has dented our minds.

My pleas to stop have been blatantly ignored, despite my wan�ng

peace.

Ignoring my words for more kindness and for the nasty words to
cease

I witnessed this kind of behaviour break my mother’s heart.

I held her �ghtly when I witnessed the stress, anxiety and mental

depression start.

They killed my mum; they broke my spirit and my soul.

I have to protect my family it’s now my only goal.

I want to carry on mum’s legacy to do great work and shine.

But to do all this great work I know I have to protect me and mine

I have to protect my family, to speak up and to speak out.
To stop the unkindness and cri�cism of who we are and what we are

about.

I am standing up for what I believe in, I am focusing on being true to

me.

Moving on to pastures new, waters calm will set our family free.
