POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Going Under
I am dead.
How did I get to this place?
Dead yet alive.
The world around me is too loud;
It's just noise,
A sound I cannot silence, bear;
My brain hurts.
Can't I just lie here and sleep?
Stop talking,
Your words, they pierce my brain.
Too loud.
Everything is too loud, it hurts;
No one gets it,
Because I am dead yet alive.
Life without colour;
A muted, quietened existence.
Stop breathing,
And please let me fill my lungs;
Dying words,
Here comes that sinking feeling.

Discernment
I am vulnerable to your mood
Octopus tentacles reaching out,
Your energy, it casts a spell;
Not of silent whispers of love,
But thoughts best held within
Negative projections
Lingering emotions
Side effects of a world unseen;
Your experiences are infectious,
Discernment is my remedy.
Recognising the pull, as it comes;
With focused mind I wash you away
Octopus tentacles reaching out,
Your energy, it casts a spell;
Not of silent whispers of love,
But thoughts best held within
Negative projections
Lingering emotions
Side effects of a world unseen;
Your experiences are infectious,
Discernment is my remedy.
Recognising the pull, as it comes;
With focused mind I wash you away

Learning Journey
This life, this world...
It is to be experienced,
Not passed off as mundane.
Through the good times,
And through the bad
Love the life you're in;
Because after all...
You
Signed up for this.
It is to be experienced,
Not passed off as mundane.
Through the good times,
And through the bad
Love the life you're in;
Because after all...
You
Signed up for this.

Release
I feel an aching inside;
A tightness in my heart
Demanding to be heard,
Begging to be felt;
When my soul is tired
I need a release,
The brutal heartache
Can't come quick enough;
My tears flow freely
A tightness in my heart
Demanding to be heard,
Begging to be felt;
When my soul is tired
I need a release,
The brutal heartache
Can't come quick enough;
My tears flow freely

Gasping For Air
In a world of dark intentions
It is easy to lose your way,
The warm, kindest of wishes
Often destroyed in a heartbeat;
As you fight to stay afloat,
To rise above yourself, you find:
Staying positive can be hard
When people are still sleeping;
Like holding your breath under water
It is easy to lose your way,
The warm, kindest of wishes
Often destroyed in a heartbeat;
As you fight to stay afloat,
To rise above yourself, you find:
Staying positive can be hard
When people are still sleeping;
Like holding your breath under water
