POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
the two sides of life
lifes a thunderstorm
a negative stupid rumble
hovering above one's head
sometimes the rumbles quiet
silent, somehow not too unfriendly
and your ok just sitting with the rumble hovering
not too dominantly above your head
atleast it's not intruding violently into your sacred space
high up in the sky, agitating your ears
threatening to find itself within your one and only mind
yes life is like a thunderstorm
it sounds a bit silly but its true
a grumble, a rumble, annoying noises
which you never asked to hear
do you know...

i should be like a horse running wild in the green fields
this life is like a prison
i am stuck inside sharp corners
and i cannot escape
i want out, i want to live outside
borders, fences, brick walls holding me in
a horse is in a stable
she can live better than me
she can breathe, view outside of the edges
her horses head can look beyond the stable
if that is what she wishes to do
because she can, she has a choice
i bet on high horses
with a strong sense of certainty
that she who lives in a stable
lives contentedly
with her hay under...

is it too much to ask for
i don't ask for much in life
good mental health , a mentally well mind
close friends to hang out with
maybe a relationship
i don't ask for the world
and yet i might aswell be asking for the world
because my wants and pleas are never answered
some of you , you want everything
your not just happy with the minimal
friends relationship good job , holidays
you want it all! everything from a better house
to a better career, more clothes, more holidays
its constant wanting , when you already have enough to be content
there is always...

daffodil in the sky
a daffodil stands amidst the never- ending sky
the strong petals shine brightly, flourescently
beautiful beams of heat bounce across the sea like sky
ever so vibrantly, allowing the girls and boys to raise their lips
to the elated mood of the burning flame

tired of dealing with my mind
all morning i have felt weird
now i am sitting here in tears
tired of my mind
i'm reduced to tears
the birds are tweeting outside
and i am sitting in my own pain
if i were to sing right now
it would be a sad note
mellow tunes of a tired fed up heart
the birds are still tweeting their happy chirpy little songs
as tears quietly settle
fragmented disconnected
everything sounds weird
as i sit here in my pain
wandeirng why the world has to be this way
if it wasn;t for the selfish cruelty of this world...

choices
choices, how is this a choice?, i sit here writing my poem
staring at my hands and writing in words
wandering why my hand cannot look a real part of me
this isn't a choice, i never once asked to be mentally messed up
dissociated, and fragmented, a sad story
did i ask for this ? not once, never!
so where is the choice in how i am now feeling?
if someone asks you what you want for christmas
you respond with your wants, surely i should have more choices
just like the christmas present i choose to pick
i should not be lumbered with...

safe within a forest of bluebells
Today I stand
purple lingers around my feet
brown barks are standing strongly
tall and proud
brave giants of wonderful wood
the sky upstairs hides
proudly behind branches, leaves
my umbrella
a cover in those painful tragic times
the sky, and my mind
there is no option
I need to hide
just like the sky happily shrouded
beyond the giants and the leaves
separation of space
separation of worlds
and here I am, hiding
I'm in a safe world
where beautiful bluebells stand

teddy bear
the softest part of a room, your teddy bear
walls are hard like rock, your wardrobe is standing proudly
confident in its solid stanze, distant and unavailable,
no need to worry about a lack of affection
when the friendly bear, she's always there
for you , so when you are sad and low
go grab those super friendly arms
squeeze her real tight
sit her on your bed, watching your walls
keeping your bed company whilst you walk out of the room
upon your return, softly natured like a friendly animal
do not worry about getting hurt when she...

i never asked for any of this
i never asked for any of this
i never asked yet this is what i receive?
a waste paper bin, maybe that's me?
a bee does nothing but ask for the sun
butterflys need the freedom to fly
when i step outside of my front door
the rain pours in fountains
i never asked yet this is what i received?
enduring rain upon my vulnerable skin
simply because i have no choice and i've nowhere to hide
choices, wants, rights , needs on this human earth
safety should have been mine
it was taken away from me
birds nest exposed to the elements ...

reflection in the mirror
do you know what you see whe you look in the mirror
ofcourse it is you , take a look closer
do you recognise the face before you
or are you at a distance , like a frog looking into a pool of water
a dolphin shown a mirror for the first time
do you know what you see
or are you completely out of touch with your reality
saddening to look into a mirror and just see a face
sometimes the image speaks of nobody of importance
sometimes an adult, a child, emptiness floating within my eyes
sometimes i see a somebody but then it floats back to...

the receiver of pain
i'm crying, you ask why, why, because i'm in pain again
my pain , this pain seems to be like a tide
never leaving the sands side
hand in hand, maybe pain and me
live next door to each other
my neighbour still won't move
he's been here since the start of my problems
lingering annoyingly by the side of my skin
i like to think of the sand accepting the sea
thankful receiving hands
sand smiling, delicious laps of water
but i am not thankful, no
maybe the waves hands cling onto my neck
covering me in water because i am...

the smashed flower on the sidewalk
the smashed flower on the sidewalk sits scattered, pulled apart
by the hands of an angry and agitated girl, ripped and trampled upon
the petals now sit apart, a girl is destroyed by the one she so dearly loved
falling apart at the seams,her seams fell apart like the points on a top
someone cared enough , took their time and a friendly focus, built her up then ripped
the time they took for her was plentiful, she was strong and safe
until the one who made her whole turned against her, pulling at her seams
ripping her...
