Poet Introduction
I write about random things that occur in my life. Some good some bad. Is what it is.

Zip
Today started out really quite well,
Not quite heaven but far from hell.
Weather's quite fair, I'm fine in a light coat,
Then along comes a breeze, pulled my zip up and it broke.
Something so little and trivial but yet,
Makes me start to panic, get anxious and sweat.
My mood starts to dive and the anger begins,
It wells up from somewhere really deep within.
I feel myself glaring at everyone in the street,
They look at their shoes, my gaze the won't meet.
The voices in my head start screaming right now,
Telling me to hurt people...
Not quite heaven but far from hell.

Part of the team?
Today there was a party full of laughter,
My invite in the post was obviously a non stater.
The party was for a B.D of someone I consider a mate,
Sat here wondering why I never got through the gate.
Thought we were close and I was considered quite dear,
But just goes to show, obviously don't want me near.
Do I come across more than certifiably insane?
Or am I just a loser at this friendship game?
Maybe holding myself in such low esteem,
Forbids me from being, 1 of the team.
Just goes to show the people to whom I think I'm close, ...

Hope
Life always seems to take a funny turn,
You can feel low sometimes and your spirit burns.
Seems for an eternity there's no way out,
All you can do is despair and scream and shout.
You feel so down and utterly alone,
Just wishing that someone would call your phone.
That feeling of loneliness is so depressing,
Whatever you do, you can't help but stressing.
But when you feel like that and just want to weep,
Look inside yourself and find the inner strength you keep.
Because there will be someone to help you,
A friend to be there even just for...
You can feel low sometimes and your spirit burns.

But when you feel like that and just want to weep,
Look inside yourself and find the inner strength you keep.

Melancholy
Melancholy runs through me straight to the bone.
Sitting in my flat as always alone.
Sounds in my head take on a deathly tone.
No voice comes out, only a tortured moan.
My heart's as heavy as a solid stone.
The demons in my head are truly my own.
Wish I could say my mind has grown.
But every chance I've had I've truly blown.
Wish there was a different me, maybe a clone.
Who could repent of all the seeds I've sown.
Another shit poem I hear you all groan.
But this is the last I'll submit from my lonesome throne.
Sitting in my flat as always alone.
Sounds in my head take on a deathly tone.
No voice comes out, only a tortured moan.
My heart's as heavy as a solid stone.
The demons in my head are truly my own.
Wish I could say my mind has grown.
But every chance I've had I've truly blown.
Wish there was a different me, maybe a clone.
Who could repent of all the seeds I've sown.
Another shit poem I hear you all groan.
But this is the last I'll submit from my lonesome throne.

Loved and lost
As I sit here on my settee,
Staring blankly at the TV.
I realise it will always be just me,
And suddenly life feels so dreary.
I have my flat, a lovely home,
But it feels empty being alone.
All the people I've met and known,
Not 1 of them ever call my phone.
Leads me to the conclusion it must be me,
The reason I'm so very unhappy.
I yearn for the days I was young and free,
But that's the past and now will never be.
The women I've loved and lost,
Has come at such a high cost.
All the lines I must've...
Staring blankly at the TV.
I realise it will always be just me,
And suddenly life feels so dreary.
I have my flat, a lovely home,
But it feels empty being alone.
All the people I've met and known,
Not 1 of them ever call my phone.
Leads me to the conclusion it must be me,
The reason I'm so very unhappy.
I yearn for the days I was young and free,
But that's the past and now will never be.
The women I've loved and lost,
Has come at such a high cost.
All the lines I must've...

Hello
Roses are red,
Tulips are yellow.
I'm not a poet,
I'm just an average fellow.
I don't play guitar,
I don't play the cello.
I may not go far,
But I try to be mellow.
Words have no meaning,
If they don't come from within.
Dreams have no ceiling,
Unless born out of sin.
Let's play this game, and may you start,
To critique as you will.
And tear me apart,
As no longer i care or even feel.
I'm not here to be judged,
Just speak from my heart.
My words form like sludge, ...
Tulips are yellow.
I'm not a poet,
I'm just an average fellow.
I don't play guitar,
I don't play the cello.
I may not go far,
But I try to be mellow.
Words have no meaning,
If they don't come from within.
Dreams have no ceiling,
Unless born out of sin.
Let's play this game, and may you start,
To critique as you will.
And tear me apart,
As no longer i care or even feel.
I'm not here to be judged,
Just speak from my heart.
My words form like sludge, ...
