Unworthy
I wish we could swap places, You and I. So you could feel what it’s like To live a lie. I wish we could swap places, You and me. So you could experience, Being unworthy. I wish we could swap places, Me and you. To feel like you’re falling short, Just as I do. I […]
Living?
Living day to day, Little left to say, Yesterday blurs into today, Tomorrow’s coming anyway. Living all alone, Wanting to atone, For times when I was selfish and shoved – Away everyone I ever loved. Living in a void, So weak, so devoid, Of the strength for me to avoid, Becoming oh so paranoid. Living […]
Attitude
I struggle to understand Why you said what you did. It’s like your brain’s in quicksand, And your mouth’s screwed amid, Your obnoxious attitude for others. Does it make you feel good To criticise as you do. You should think before you speak, Or is it ingrained in you. Your obnoxious attitude for others. It’s […]
Brief Encounter
And so you ask me “What’s the drama” Telling me to be calmer. It was just a brief encounter, And not a lifelong saga. And so I ask you once again, “why.” You were the sun in my sky, And my starlight throughout the night Now I’m too broken to fight. And so you tell […]
Broken….
Sometimes I just feel so empty, Or pieces of me go missing. Lost the plans for re- assembly, Absent; without really leaving. Putting myself together again, Walking in the pouring rain, again. At times I just feel so broken, Dealing with things unspoken , verboten, Just about coping with the emotion. And the world turns, […]
Two Faces
I was born with two faces The one I show to the world, Like I’m holding all the aces, And with all the flags unfurled. But then there’s the one I see When I look in the mirror. This one taunts and laughs at me, My image, all the clearer. I was born with two […]
Cupboard Under the Stairs
V1. Alone in the darkness, Nothing at all to see Very little to hear, But frightening thoughts run free. V2. How long have I been here? And how long must I stay? Disorientation, Is it night time, or day. V3 No music, no books, anyhow, I couldn’t see pages. And your belt I’ll endure, On […]
Contradictions
We live in a world of contradictions, Fact and fiction, It’s wrong or right, it’s black or white. We live together, or we live alone, A heart of stone. It’s you and me, or it’s lonely. A world where you have to play along, We’re weak or strong, We laugh or cry, we live and […]
Chasing the Darkness
You say I don’t understand, I understand only too well. Admit that it’s got out of hand, It was Heaven, but now it’s hell. And I know you chase the darkness, As a blanket for all your pain, Cos I know what it’s like to chase, That darkness again and again. You say I don’t […]
