Poet Introduction
A poet, lol. I'm no poet, I can't spell, I cant write, never really went to school. I'm just here to try and express my thoughts and maybe find others who can relate.

Eyes wide Shut
Eyes open wide,
a permanent nightfall takes over my vision,
as hard as i try to see, to focus,
there's nothing to see.
Darkness consumes me,
my senses redundant..
Crouched down in a corner,
soundlessly crying out for help,
but no one can hear,
a river falls from my face
from tear after tear..
Empty reflections,
the time filled with dread..
thoughts and emotions
tormenting my head.
The darkness playing host
orchestrating proceedings
and directing events,
taking control...

Hope and pray
Observing..
desperately trying to find a way out.
But all I see is brickwalls and mortar.
So many hopes and dreams,
As i watch your life line,
Get shorter and shorter..
Nobody knows what to do,
An ordeal for you,
And a nightmare for us too..
We observe the pain,
The misery and torment of all you go through..
But only one person can halt
The destructive path that your on,
Only one person can change
The person you've become..
But your blind.
You just can't see.
You have the potential...
desperately trying to find a way out.
But all I see is brickwalls and mortar.
So many hopes and dreams,
As i watch your life line,
Get shorter and shorter..
Nobody knows what to do,
An ordeal for you,
And a nightmare for us too..
We observe the pain,
The misery and torment of all you go through..
But only one person can halt
The destructive path that your on,
Only one person can change
The person you've become..
But your blind.
You just can't see.
You have the potential...

Letter to my mum x
I thought I'd write this letter
Just to say the things I should have said
And apologise for the things I should have done.
I'm trying my hardest to rememeber
The events of the past
From Jan through to December..
But my thoughts are clouded by a haze
I know the events wernt great,
And I'd certainly seen better days.
But I know I didn't call as much as I should have,
And know I didn't see you as much as I could have.
And for that I'm sorry.
I know I could have been a better son,
But I'm thankful i couldn't ask for a...

Way out..
Struggling through life
With no signs of letting up
The only answer I see
Is surrendering
And giving up.
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
It's a never ending battle,
A fight that's wearing me down
It's wearing thin
I don't know how to get out
Or where to begin..
A smile
As if I'm putting on a show
No one cares
Because nobody knows
Sporting a brave face
Hiding inside
Laughing and joking,
Is my only disguise.
I play the fool
It's one i wear
A permanent smile
Like I...
With no signs of letting up
The only answer I see
Is surrendering
And giving up.
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
It's a never ending battle,
A fight that's wearing me down
It's wearing thin
I don't know how to get out

Sporting a brave face

Just need to know...
I know your fucking lieing,
your fighting your corner,
trying and trying...
but you know what you fucking did,
and instead of owning up,
hands in the air,
your trying to play,
your trying to kid...
But you can't kid a kidder
I know you far to well for that...
Your mistake is your lieing,
and forgetting what your lieing about,
your tripping yourself up,
you scream and you shout,
protesting your innocence...
The holes in your story,
your out of control,
your digging so deep, ...
your fighting your corner,
trying and trying...
but you know what you fucking did,
and instead of owning up,
hands in the air,
your trying to play,
your trying to kid...
But you can't kid a kidder
I know you far to well for that...
Your mistake is your lieing,
and forgetting what your lieing about,
your tripping yourself up,
you scream and you shout,
protesting your innocence...
The holes in your story,
your out of control,
your digging so deep, ...

So congratulations!
you've now been promoted,
and that's a step up the ladder for you,

Its now your time,

It's taken a while
but now the roles been reversed..
Put yourself forward, ...

Don't want to lose you..
I'll never turn my back on you,
The things that you say,
The things that you do,
Won't discourage me,
Turn me away,
Stop me from loving you...
That will continue to the day that I die,
Your always remain a part of me,
My life,
Like it or not,
Were connected
Entwined
Like a tie...
That connection,
Of feeling as one,
Together,
Just me and you,
Laughing and joking
Non stop like we used to do...
And that's always there in the back of my mind,
Impossible to come by ...

Stronger than you think!
Just keep telling yourself,
Your stronger than you think,
I've been here before,
on the edge,
on the brink..
But I survived,
and I'm still here,
day after day,
year after year.
Thinking back to the places I've been,
dark times I've encountered,
the torment I've seen..
But just keep telling yourself,
your stronger than you know,
you've been hit before,
time after time,
blow after blow..
But it will pass,
and things will improve,
hang in there,
stay strong, ...

Be Who You Want To Be!
A wise man once said to me
'no one has the power to ruin your day'
no matter their actions,
or what they say..
how hard that they try
or what they do,
putting you down
trying to break
or hurt you..
Only you have the power
to control how you feel,
you have the power
to end your ordeal..
you have the power
so don't give it away,
and let someone else
try to ruin your day...
You are your own man
something you need to remember,
not just today
from Jan to December..
your an adult...

No More!
Your taking back your life
Pick up some courage
Determination
And a knife...
And cut the demons
The negativity
Right out of your life..
It's gone.
refuse to live this way
Your feeling like shit
Like death
Every single day..
Every fucking day,
Feeling this way
Hold onto your life
Don't throw it away..
But no more
This now has to end
take back control
It's rotting your body
Killing your soul..
But no more
You've made a vow
No more excuses
Not next...
Pick up some courage
Determination
And a knife...
And cut the demons
The negativity
Right out of your life..

Killing your soul..

What The f**k..
If I stand back and look..
I mean really stand back and look,
At how I'm being treated
Trodden on
used
And so fucking badly abused...
I'd ask myself..
What the actual fuck!
No matter how much you love someone,
Have some fucking self respect.
Sit back
Evaluate
Reflect...
The door mat that I'm sitting on
After again being locked out
Has taken less shit than I have..
Yet im still here...
I am the puppet
She the puppeteer...
Pulling my strings
And laying down the law ...

Who's Looking Out For Me..
Looking in from the outside
Only those that can see
Not who I portray
But see the real me..
Looking in from the outside
A beam constantly
Projected upon my face,
Head held high
Strolling around
with style and grace...
Skimming over the surface
And what will you see
I'm Just playing a character,
Not being the man
Who I so want to be...
An actor..
Acting out a very poor written play
With the same shit happeneing
Day after day...
That's me...
Unless you can see ...
Only those that can see
Not who I portray
But see the real me..
Looking in from the outside
A beam constantly
Projected upon my face,
Head held high
Strolling around
with style and grace...
Skimming over the surface
And what will you see
I'm Just playing a character,
Not being the man
Who I so want to be...
An actor..
Acting out a very poor written play
With the same shit happeneing
Day after day...
That's me...
