POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Bereavement
You're gone
Another candle burnt out
There's not many left
My world goes dimmer
There's a hole in my heart
And there's nothing left to fill it
Except memories and sleepless nights
Sadness follows like a cloud,
I miss your sunshine
I'm lost
Like a compass without a needle
I'll never forget your face
Will I find myself again?
Tears smear the ink
With which I write these words
I can't explain
How much this hurts
I try to forget
But it makes me feel worse
If your life was a gift ...

Look inside, find yourself
Do it for your mind and health
Take a spiritual journey
To peace and self discovery
Avoid harm, find the calm

Schizo
I don't know if anyone knows this
But I'm sleepwalking to psychosis
I am a thorn among the roses
My head is splitting like mitosis
I'm not sure if I'm coming or I'm going
But my paranoia is certainly showing
The confusion deep inside keeps growing
How much time is left, there's no way of knowing
Schizo, psycho
Crazy, hazy
I talk to my reflection but it doesn't talk back
The pressure keeps building, I can feel it start to crack
Thoughts swirling within me, it's the answers that I lack
I start to lose control and...

I.....
I wish I had another friend
I wish I had more time to spend
I wish I had another friend
I wish wasn't at a dead end
I hate the way that people drive
I hate the way we just survive
I hate the way that people drive
I hate that I don't feel alive
I hope to see some better days
I hope to see through the fog and haze
I hope to see some better days
I hope that I can escape this maze
I'd like us not to scream and shout
I'd like to be rid of all self doubt
I'd like us not to scream and shout ...

Crisis
From pandemic to a war
Times never cease to be cruel
The cost of living starts rising
Now people can't afford their weekly fuel
Budgets are drawn up, there's
Big cuts to the National Health
Still, the top cats sit back
As they keeping growing their vast wealth
Strikes start to happen
As the workers begin their fight
There'll be more strikes this winter
Likes the ones of a match to create light
The government stands by
As sewage pours into the river
When the cold starts to hit
Will you choose darkness...

Dreamland
The sandman pays a visit
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins
In the dark of the night
To take me off to dream land
As my eyes shut tight
I begin to drift away
Thoughts clear from my head
I'm whisked off to a new world
As my body lies safe in bed
In this place I feel free
My mind starts to mend
No misery, stress or pain here
It's a shame it'll soon end
I wish I could stay
But the alarm clock rings
My eyes slowly peel open
Now the nightmare begins

War
A cold hearted leader
Craves total control
The bombs fall on
Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol
The killing goes on
With no remorse and no soul
The rich wage the war
But the poor pay the toll
Craves total control

With no remorse and no soul
The rich wage the war

The Y Chromosome
Must be tall, must be funny
Must have the looks, must have money
Must have muscle, must have the fight
If not, then don't bother swiping right
Must be into sports, must always be tough
Must bottle up your feelings, must do other 'guy stuff'
Must handle your drink, must enjoy a good smoke
If you don't do these things, are you even a real bloke?
Must pay half your assets, must play the court's game
Must give up the children, must take all the blame
Must be left broken, must bring your life to a halt
If you do all of this, it'll...

Born with crying eyes
Life full of lies

Music is My Medicine
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet.
Start the day with a bangin' tune
Keep it playing til the afternoon
A funky chorus with a catchy rhyme
Just hope I sing the words on time
In the car, out for a drive
The melody makes me feel alive
Turn it up, make it loud
Sing it out, and sing it proud
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet ...
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet.

Just hope I sing the words on time
In the car, out for a drive
The melody makes me feel alive
Turn it up, make it loud
Sing it out, and sing it proud
Music is my medicine
The whole world makes sense when I sing
Feel the rhythm, feel the beat
Time to get up and move your feet ...
