trapped
sitting here, trapped
the four walls are the norm
the garden and walking around the estate
another norm
just boring same old scenes
kind of saddening, really
isolation sucks when all you want to be is free
when you need and want more
and you are stuck in a place you'd rather not be
i'm a human being and honestly
i feel like life has lost the plot with me
sitting here with my fingertips typing on the computer again
in the same old bedroom
in the same old house
nothing to look forward to or anything different...

depression takes over
the blue sky hovers silently
peaceful thoughts and feelings stand strongly
a cloud is in sight, drifting like a caterpillar inch by inch
the girl below is unaware of the devastation in front of her footsteps
in her eyes the simple silent cloud is harmless
like a tiny caterpillar with no ability to attack
so the girl keeps on walking the walk
oblivious to any impending rainstorm
the birds show no sign of future rain
signals, warnings and sights unapparent
and suddenly the pitter patter lands
first one drop then two ...

need to grow, need to blossom
gardeners take care of their gardens
just like a caring mother takes care of her little child
observant with keen watching eye's
any signs of unruliness, wilting and chaotic downfall
and the gardener pulls away the weeds
tending to the flowers with a watering can
transforming depressed into happy again
because you see, gardens cannot tend to themselves
they need a friendly hand to help them by
when the sky refuses to rain
the guy with the spronkler steps in
but what if a child misses the love from a parent
she is...

if i'm a blizzard
If i'm a blizzard then i'm a million drops of feathered snow
A downpour of light emotions
If i'm a blizzard then i'm one and the same thing
Simply scattered
Falling from the sky
A thousand dots of snow
Pushed around by the wind
And the forces outside of me
They are pushing me with ease
Oh let the strength of the wind move me
For i'm safe in it's hands
For i'm safe in it's world
Scattered throughout the sky
I'm simply one and many things
...

soft cushions in the sky
there are cushions in the sky, soft squidgy balls of fluff
the cotton wool threads are in a mesh
kept together by the sticky heat of a summers day
white doves, gatherings of snow melting for all to see
just how beautiful they really are
peaceful , calm, angels with friendly flapping wings
hovering high, keeping a watch on the world down below
without understanding, just a misty eye'd view
people are confusing but the green grass naturally speaks back
a similar reflection , blanket of a different shade
the clouds get lonely when they are...

yellow in the sky
there is a yellow in the sky
she lies awake , floating
moving positions like a self assured kite in the breeze
her willpower and light shines, glistening
and the patch of warm soft sand stands
like a sore thumb in a blue ocean
unbelievably different, yellow and mellow
a burning bold heat living in a neverending strip of blue
the grains of sand emit their rays softly
landing upon our skin with a tender grace
she lies awake , floating
moving positions like a self assured kite in the breeze
her willpower and light shines, glistening
and the patch of warm soft sand stands
like a sore thumb in a blue ocean
unbelievably different, yellow and mellow
a burning bold heat living in a neverending strip of blue
the grains of sand emit their rays softly
landing upon our skin with a tender grace

i am the sky
i am the sky
people see the blue ocean of my eyes
i allow them to
because i am awake
i am a sweet sight
when nothing impedes my happy eyes
but when sadness takes over
all becomes a weird blur
clouds find themselves within my irises
grey pain lingers
and the people walking by
they ask, why can't i make you happy again
right now i am here , in this saddened state
showing you all the colours which are available to me
i'm scared because everyone can see how i feel
exposed and on show

i am the grass and i feel everythng
i am the grass, sitting here passively in different shades of friendly green
i look up to the sky as that is the only view above my eyes
and i question how is my birds eye view fair
maybe i want to turn sideways, take in a different view
i grow from the soil and i shoot upwards
sometimes my surface takes footstep of someone elses shoe
and i realise i'm here for a purpose, nature in the colour green
i thrive in the spring and dry out in the strong summers sun
when it rains i'm happily hydrated
passive, strands of hair live...

the cold manner of some people
the coldness of some people
the way they speak their words
i cannot receive cold without wanting to answer back
words spoken in a mean tone,
my mum thinks she can tell us my sister to shut up
just because she is stating her annoyance at the neighbours music
first of all it was shut up , shut up
then she spoke to us like we are simply annoying
saying its not allowed to shout or argue in the house
so its ok for others to shout when they are upset but not me?
i have mental health issues and emotional problems

have more faith in animals
trust , how does one trust?
you think you can trust
but can you ?
how do you know that you can rely on a person ?
how do you know who to trust and who not to trust?
sometimes i feel like people are reliable
then i realise, i was incorrect
you think you know someone then your opinion changes
and you feel let down, and abandoned
what a selfish world we live in
i'm pretty sure animals are more reliable
they wouldn't let me down
they would just linger by my side ...

do not neglect a flower
i bought a bunch of flowers today
from a friendly florist shop
they told me to water each day
so i made my way home i trimmed the stems
trimmed with precision and care
i placed them in a vase of cold water
then i forget about the flowers
more important matters were on my mind
the puppy needed regular walks and i had a job to go to
my mind was stressed, the flowers went out of my mind
why did i pay the florist in the first place?
if only to dry out, wither and fade
why take them into my home and let them sink?

stupid cloud
i stand in a cloud of grey, trapped in a place i'd rather not be
sitting in pain , oh why me?
the cloud is dense , sometimes
i have wings but i cannot fly the sky
pushed again into this state of enforced misery
reverted to a dreary cloud
the pain has increased in intensity
colours have changed tone , a darker shade
and i am pushed inside a hole again
my little twig like feet are dragged here by a force that is bigger then me
events in my life, hurts, pain
the cloud wins or maybe my mind simply wins
i guess my past pains are...
