C'Mon, Give It Up...
I've sure given up on giving stuff up
like all my goodies I'm supposed to quit
so New Years Resolutions can just get stuffed,
And I'll grow old and fat, stewed in my cups,
because giving up things can be the pits
I've sure given up on giving stuff up...
Like scoffing chocs, dribbling beer as I sup,
or hoarding tat as if I've sticky mits
so New Years Resolutions can just get stuffed,
Or ranting at the neighbour's cheeky pups,
cos they, like, forever get on my tits
I've sure given up on giving stuff up,
Like the dog-track where I always get whupped
teeth gnashing my winning ticket to bits,
so New Years Resolutions can just get stuffed
I've quit smoking and for that I'm well chuffed
And I'm certainly not giving up, it,
But I've sure given up on giving up
So New Years Resolutions can, just get stuffed!

One-way ticket...
Why should I care for the new year?
Another cycle of the same celestial dance
spiraling through familiar constellations.
Same faces in the same places,
their conversations a recitation of a well-worn script.
Why should I care for the new year?
When the clock's hands circle back
to touch the same numbers they brushed a moment ago.
And the calendar's pages, thin and brittle
fall like leaves from the same tree.
Why should I care for the new year...
When the same hues paint the dawn
and twilight pulls the same shades over the world.
Each season a carousel of repeated scenes.
Eternal recurrence etched in time’s unwavering hands.
Why should I care for the new year?
When mistakes, like shadows, follow persistently.
Relentless echoes of human error
lining the paths we tread.
Marking our stumbles with the indifference of stone.
Yet, there is a subtle hope in the repetition,
A whispered promise in the familiar refrain
that even in the endless cycle
there is room for small revolutions.
Tiny shifts in the fabric of the ordinary.
The new year, a canvas reset,
offers the brush once more,
to redefine the strokes of our days.
Maybe the same people, same colors,
but the hand that moves, wiser, more deliberate.
The new year is a chance not to erase the past
but to layer over it a tapestry of growth.
Stitched with the lessons of mistakes
and the strength of survival.
In the sameness, there lies potential,
in the repetition, a rhythm.
A heartbeat that sustains...
And in the continuation a promise of perseverance.

Never Give Up Life
I will never give up this new year!
I will veer away from a dreadful society
and trek into the wilderness
for the sake of my self preservation.
What sins and decay society is now!
Embrace the peace of nonjudgmental eyes,
or nonexistent eyes in the wilds.
I don’t care how alone I am I want solitude.
I once wrote the forest has eyes and tongues.
This refers to his the psychosis will follow me.
I accept this, however, no one will witness me
responding to these voices out loud!
I’m 37 now and I am exhausted and humiliated.
Society has chewed me up and spit me out.
So, my New Year’s resolution is to venture off
and never give up the fight for survival I will have.
Someday I may walk out…
Someday the writing I will do will be found…
Someday my body will be discovered by hikers…
And someday, my poetry will become known!

Sanity or Insanity
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Demons running through my veins
There's nothing I would ever change
Network damage - Connection Split
Input - Output - Complete Shit
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Harsh stories & poems run through my brain
Inside my body, a madman reigns
It's my reality
It's my illusion
It's my burning pain
Never one for a New Years Resolution
The one thing I'll never refuse to give up
Is to screw with people's minds
Ya know....Fuck shit up!!
