POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do like a good rhyme against the institution.... living in a world of witty one liners and food for the soul...
Nobody Noticed
Nobody noticed… when I wasn’t in class couldn’t sit on my ass even tho I loved maths I’d rather be smoking grass
No wonder I never went back
Nobody noticed… when I was abused walking round with a bruise never could be amused and couldn’t tell the truth
No wonder I was prone to attack
Nobody noticed… when I changed cus they’re still the same stuck in their lane while look at all the power I gained
No wonder I carried the slack
Nobody noticed… when I disappeared for three years, changing gears, amped my life up through...
No wonder I never went back
Nobody noticed… when I was abused walking round with a bruise never could be amused and couldn’t tell the truth
No wonder I was prone to attack
Nobody noticed… when I changed cus they’re still the same stuck in their lane while look at all the power I gained
No wonder I carried the slack
Nobody noticed… when I disappeared for three years, changing gears, amped my life up through...

Always Is With You
How to say I love you in so few words,
When I couldn’t contain it in 2 or 3 worlds,
From this dimension to the fourth and the fifth,
I still can’t believe it’s you that I’m with.
I’ve looked my whole life for someone like you,
someone like me that gets me too,
I might not say it often enough,
your place in my heart is truly loved.
I’ve never met a man who’s made me feel quite this way,
Even on the worst, shittiest of days,
You give me that spark I thought I had lost,
From the very beginning our fates were crossed. ...

Father’s Day
There’s a million things that we could say,
on this once-a-year Father’s Day,
for the dads who were there,
to support your choices and to care,
for the trophy dads at every sports event,
from the egg and spoon race to the bbq in the tent,
for the dads in heaven who we wish were here,
let’s give them an almighty cheer!
And let’s not forget the dads who are gone,
wether they’re down the street or if they’ve moved on,
for they gave us life and are still to be celebrated,
and even sperm donors are thanked for the life they created, ...

How many times my life’s been turned upside down,
It was happening so much I was having trouble keeping count,
People come and go and they never stick around,
Till you came along now my feet’s on the ground,
And I don’t even know how to begin to thank you,
A love like I’ve never known is shown in our tattoo ❤️

It’s All Perspective
Trying not to drift off in my head again,
can’t help but put ink to a pen and let em in,
let them see what it is to be me thinking I’m free,
got another thing coming if you is what I’m becoming,
but again,
this is what’s happening to you and not your friend,
how you deal with will determine the end.

Government Issued Recovery
Maybe the fundament of governance
is enough coverage
to further the discovering
of new treatments for your illness
but is it enough to stop the suffering
of the victims
as it’s mostly seen in those with low incomes
regularly picking up their prescriptions
for the aforementioned symptoms
and I don’t think back when there was Egyptians
when they were hammering inscriptions that
they had to worry about monthly subscriptions
and figuring out how to work the system
Where every third...

We stand with France
With a world full of fuckery and disgrace
where promises vanish without a trace
and where lies are told straight to our face
yet we’re all still expected to take part in the race
not enough woken to realise
don’t fret just yet once they open their eyes
guess who it is they will despise when their government provides no compromise
With ❤️ from 🏴

Don’t follow the crowd
If I start Listening to the conditioning maybe one day I’ll Fit right in but I’m not sure what you’re envisioning as there’s still something missing but there’s no point in wishing or compliment fishing just focus on living in the moment and act like you own it like you’ve always known and it fear no opponent
Don’t confuse me with my method I’ll still repeat it on my death bed the same shit I have always said they didn’t listen couldn’t care less but some just don’t want to hear it because it makes them feel it when it becomes to real it seems they’d rather hold it and conceal it ...

Another day another G
Watching your life go down the drain is no easy feat,
when your ear drums beat to your heart and you can’t see,
everything carries weight when it’s on top,
a lotta the time seems like there’s no way to make it stop,
but you have to carry on
stay strong
put your brave face on and keep it going beyond the usual way to respond,
with tomorrow forever in front
another day brings another blunt
till you’re sick of the two gram hunt and start to punt,
the clientele are a dealers hell, 3am still rings the bell,
soon you begin to smoke...

Arguing with anxiety
Ok, there’s the door, now just get up off the floor, fix your hair and walk right out, what the fuck are you worried about?
There’s people, in crowds, they’re all chatty and rushing around, god forbid someone should stop me, there’s too many ifs but what’s... don’t mock me!
Forget about everyone else, this is not how to take care of yourself, they’re all to busy with their own stuff, now get up and get moving stop throwing a huff!
No! I’ve decided to hide instead, I’m staying inside in my comfortable bed, it’s too hard to cope with this today, now leave me...

Valium Obsession
Swallowing little blue pills by the milligram,
taking just enough so you don’t give a damn,
it stops the anger and it brings the calm,
life is what it is and I am what I am.
No standing in line for my prescription,
rudimentary methods to fulfil my addiction,
from India to Pakistan or straight from someone’s kitchen,
anything to rid me of this mental affliction.
When anxiety threats inside your head,
those little pills are your best friend,
they calmed the nerves when the voices said,
“don’t go out, stay in instead”....

You & Me
You and me
In our simplicity
Even though
We said explicitly
There would be
No complicity
It happened
Rather efficiently
It wasn’t
Deliberately
Try deny
The electricity
When it’s
Quite literally
Extremely
Persistently
Politely
Consistently
Decreasing our
proximity
When you’re in
My vicinity
Till I
Sufficiently
Reduce the
Conductivity
