Young Carers Rap Northamptonshire Carers contribution to National Poetry Day, kindly written by Sue Morton. Young Carers Rap Sorry – can’t come to yours for teaGot to get home cosI got responsibilities Can’t come to Youth ClubOr the disco next weekBut don’t diss meOr think I’m a geek Got to shop and cookAnd keep the house cleanYou should taste me spag bolMan – it’s real mean At doing the washing I’m not so goodI got whites that are pinkand greys that are blueAnd just look at my school shirtsThey got scorch marks too! I give medication when it’s dueAnd do my homework when I canI’m not moaning, it’s just how it is‘Cos when I’m at homeI got sponsibilitiesI got dreams for the futureJust like youAnd worry about familyWho need me too I go to a club with others like meFor we are known as young carers seeNorthants Carers give us help and supportTo do the things that young people ought What I need from youis to understand meWhen I sayI can’t come to yours for tea Just be a friend – don’t pity meFor I’m proud of everything I do I’m a young carer – don’t you seeLook around – look aroundThere’s many more like me Manage Cookie Preferences
