Vision blue tinted
Imprinted new image
Sunlight's become too bright to fight the pillage
Mind's eye infected
Hindsight collected
Even with that knowledge I can't find protection
Red pilled and fed, still a mess
Head filled with stress
Regrets still regress any steps I progressed
Reps that I press and the rest that I get barely stretch to correct all the debt on my head
Chest not convex
Connect with depression
Anxious and vexed
Dangers that crept
Post-trauma...

Day by Day
Another morning without you
A soul removed, a void to fill
It seems like 'time heals' is just another lie
I was told to stay strong
Keep my head up
You'll be okay
I find that more and more unlikely, day by day
I still turn to ask you things
I make you cups of tea
I roll a fag and place it where you're sitting next to me
You're coming back
I don't know when or how
But you, gone forever?
I find that more and more unlikely, day by day
You didn't show up yesterday
You weren't here in the morning
I'll wait...
A soul removed, a void to fill

A New Sky
Something to be changed
Not yet a realised potential
Hung in darkness
Waiting for the morn
When the day returns
I won't be witness to her transformation
But I know how much she changes
And so, I thank her
Not yet a realised potential
Hung in darkness
Waiting for the morn
When the day returns
I won't be witness to her transformation
But I know how much she changes
And so, I thank her

The Sky Right Now
Absolutely black
Not a cloud to be found
nor a star from afar
Only planes spitting gas out the back
Polluted by lights the sky is diluted
Harder to see if there's an ET
Choppers with doctors, police helicopters
Back to my music
Not a cloud to be found
nor a star from afar
Only planes spitting gas out the back
Polluted by lights the sky is diluted
Harder to see if there's an ET
Choppers with doctors, police helicopters
Back to my music

Autistic Suchley
I made 1 friend in my nursery years
Pale, quiet, had a nervous tick
Had no idea why no one liked us
But some years later it eventually clicked
Neither of us confident to socialise and chat
I with pen in hand was sketching poems into pad
He with mathematics, never need a calculator
Somehow come together, but would split just 1 year later
A different house, a different school, my world was complicated
All I ever knew had been destroyed and recreated
No friends for me that year, and likely neither for him too
The only pal I had I...

Routing for Me
I feel like sometimes, I peak through the curtain
What's hidden to the eye, I seem to notice
I'm troubled often by concerns of paranoia and egotism
I think, therefore, I am
All I know is all I know, that is, my view is the only view I can ever have
I pilot this body, I see through my lens, but I CAN empathise
My birth name is a translation: God is salvation
My face, a combination of the two prominent idols of faith
More of one in the summer, the other in the winter
Drugs, too long spent alone, overwhelming ability to empathise: I cannot help but...

Palindromic Writer's Block
blank pages
the left side dark
My starting: hard
too: thinking
I'm thinking: too hard starting
My dark side left the pages blank

My Dark
Between the stars
The image of my soul
Yang: consumed
Why cover my nose when I hunt for penguins? It's the only part of me that's true!
The cheapest ink, I soil the coastline, and find no trouble when I close my eyes to sleep
Before the T.V shines it's light, the candid canvas casts its character
No words yet has God spoken. His silence bares my name
THIS is what I am
Do not poison me with positivity
Do not encourage me with your warming glow
As I am is how I shall remain
Until all I see, is me
The image of my soul
Yang: consumed
Why cover my nose when I hunt for penguins? It's the only part of me that's true!
The cheapest ink, I soil the coastline, and find no trouble when I close my eyes to sleep
Before the T.V shines it's light, the candid canvas casts its character
No words yet has God spoken. His silence bares my name
THIS is what I am
Do not poison me with positivity
Do not encourage me with your warming glow
As I am is how I shall remain
Until all I see, is me

Declined
You, those jagged teeth
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back
I, my quick decline
I, these yellowed biters
You, that sleeping optic
I, this bloodshot eye
You, your scented fabric
I, my spray kissed threads
You, a bottled universe
I, a fucked up head
You, and all your drawbacks
I, with all of mine
You, a timely call back
I, my quick decline
