Croydon/homesick
So the whole time we were living there,
I was hating it.
We moved a coupld miles, I thought I was escaping it.
But now surrounded by the suburbs,
I can't stand this shit.
I'm so desperately craving my home.
Fucking passed London zones,
And I don't like the quiet.
Look so odd to all the locals here,
But to me it's just my style,
And so ordinary, nothing more to see,
Faceless when in my ends
Here I stand out, a beacon, so loud,
There's nowhere I could hide.
And they're bare snide.
And it's all...

Faith
My love for her transcends beyond the boundaries of a mother/daughter relationship.
She has endured such hardship, so much loss and suffering, that I couldn't believe a god would ever exist.
I've never told her it's why I'm an atheist.
But I love how she looks up and apologises for my blasphemy as if "he" could hear.
"She doesn't mean it" her voice loud and clear.
I'm mesmerised by her faith.
To still trust, and love and have belief, for me is unachievable.
Almost ridiculous and not believable, and yet I see her...
