All I’ve Got
I know I’m not as pretty
As those who came before me
It makes me wonder why it is
You say that you adore me
I know I’m not as smart
As others that you’ve dated
I’m not sure why you chose me
I never graduated
I look into this mirror
And I think I’m a mistake
That karma brought me to you
My heart is meant to break
I know I’m not quite confident
Can’t hold my head up high
I can’t look up, am I enough?
Keep asking myself why
I don’t know why I do this
Compare myself to others
I...

Pretend
If I turn up my music
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.
And I close my eyes
It’s not real
None of it is real.

Emma Pavlova
Emma Pavlova
Nearly always
Ran hot, and cold
She was lovely
And not very old
On her 90th birthday
She was given
A basket of fruit
She got fruity with a 70 year old
That she found quite cute
Their romance
Was short lived
As Emma moved to Spain
Her lover meanwhile
Dated a walnut
Somewhat nutty, and declared insane
Emma Pavlove, was always lovely
I delight every time i meet her
Although when i do
I can't resist
The temptation
Of wanting to eat her
She filled both...

Opinions Differ
I've been told that I don't live right
But I don't much care
What they have to say
I'm going to live my life
The way that feels good to me
I'm not out to please anyone else
And they might as well just keep their opinions
Under their hats
Or up their asses
Because those opinions
Don't mean much to me
Don't I have the right
To live my life all wrong
And do things just the way I please
I say yes
And it's my opinion that's important
As for the rest of humanity
They should be who they want to be
And live...

the new tyranny
The New Tyranny
I had this nagging headache and went to see
my doctor, his waiting room was full of humanity
with an assortment of illnesses
The table in the middle of the floor used to be
full of newspapers and magazines, it was nude and
didn't even covered with a tablecloth
there was silence, ten patients looking at their
mobile phones while waiting to be called
I walked home took an aspirin and went to
bed in the night it rained
At dawn, the rain trumpeted on the old tiles
I stayed in bed until the rain turned into a soft ...

Send me back
Woke up in the ER
Not sure where I am.
What happened.
I was happier before I woke.
My wife kissed me.
My daughters and sons hugged me.
All I remember was back Hurt
My chest felt really tight
Neck stiff
I woke up in a field of yellow roses with my family
Then I woke up in a hospital.
Doc why send me back
Not sure where I am.
What happened.
I was happier before I woke.
My wife kissed me.
My daughters and sons hugged me.

My chest felt really tight
Neck stiff
I woke up in a field of yellow roses with my family
Then I woke up in a hospital.
Doc why send me back

The Four "H"s
Happy
Is not common, but is a core
Of the emotions to explore
Of the four "H"s
It is genuine joy,
A pleasure, but fades like a new toy.
Helpful
Is something you do,
But given to you.
Helpful to others, helpful to yourself
Not a state of mind,
But something deep inside.
Hate
Violence and selfishness
Towards anyone, if you choose
But please do choose
To instead do "H" number two.
Harm
Is different than hate,
By action to how help is to happy,
Take control...

you sold me forever and i bought it
chaotic and melancholic
a reflection of what used to be
take everything we once had
hold it to your heart
and never stop dwelling on it
for every time i thought of you
i’d hoped you’d try to find me
but i wept alone in agony
always and forever
were my lies
yet you forced me to speak them
we’ll remain tied by an invisible string
and we will speak;
sometimes and briefly
occasionally and barely
but never always or forever;
the lies i told
you sold them to me
-hope

Ego
I felt the passion when you were explaining how you felt
You got angry and started berating me after
I tried to give a shit.
I tried really hard
I was diagnosed with indifference
Im kind of self conscious about it
You could be a little more sympathetic and understanding

afternoon oblivion
bought a pint and sat
in the corner, waiting for you
to turn up to that moment
when I suddenly realised
you wouldn’t I hadn’t meant
to get drunk
