Man
There was once a time
not long ago,
when man could be
as man desired.
But it seems today,
a man cannot simply be,
but instead be simply crushed by the society that man created.

'It's Just a Game'
Just an avatar
in a virtual world.
The game of life
begins at birth,
and ends at death.
There are no checkpoints,
there is no reset button.
The winners have 'followers',
the winners have 'friends'.
But maybe happiness
is not measured in 'likes'.
Perhaps,
all we need is each other,
and the odd glass of scotch.

Limerick
There was a man from Yorkshire
who's banter was, frankly, dire.
He tried his best,
but nevertheless,
he never once got a laugh.

Who cares but me?
I sat next to you in class,
you made my heart race.
I was wishing I could feel
your loving embrace.
I know you're not perfect
and you annoy me at times,
but at the end of the day
it only matters if it rhymes?

Wishing, wanting, waiting.
I lie
amongst the memories we shared.
I sit
in the void left in my life.
I stand
upon the mountain of my grief.
I walk
along the dark path to the end.
I run
within the forest of desperation.
I stop
At the place you now lie.
Wishing.
Wanting.
Waiting.

At the place you now lie.
Wishing.

The Struggle
Finding hope is so hard.
Reaching out is tough.
Again I wake to a day of
zipping my feelings within the
empty shell of what was my heart.
Running, with nowhere to hide, the struggle continues.

Camping (Just One Thing)
Take a tent for the weekend,
And remember, don't pretend that
Putting it up is straightforward but once inside
The world begins to slip and slide.
Detach yourself from reality
And try to change your mentality but There's just one thing on your mind.
Lie down, but don't close your eyes,
Now you won't need your disguise but
Just keep wishing, regardless
Of whether or not you may kiss.
Your chance will come soon enough
And though the time may seem rough,
There's just one thing on my mind.
And remember, don't pretend that
Putting it up is straightforward but once inside
The world begins to slip and slide.
Detach yourself from reality
And try to change your mentality but There's just one thing on your mind.
Lie down, but don't close your eyes,
Now you won't need your disguise but
Just keep wishing, regardless
Of whether or not you may kiss.
Your chance will come soon enough
And though the time may seem rough,
There's just one thing on my mind.
