Middle Of The Road
Sat in the kitchen
Coffee in hand
The coffee's a cheap one
Ever so bland
I take a big sip and get ready to go
Fasten my shoes in a big double bow
The drive over to work is as bland as the coffee
Not in the best mood, I'm ever so huffy
A big "Hello Guys" as I walk through the door
Can't wait for the days end to let out a roar
The weekend is coming and I'm going to enjoy it
You better believe it but it's just so annoying
Monday is coming, it's not far away
We go again and for the weekend I pray ...

Growing Up!
I used to be a fat man,
A drunken little mess.
I used to get on the wrong side of the law,
I was always in distress.
Came along a little birdy,
She showed me how to fly.
She taught me how to love myself,
To this was my reply.
I lost a ton of weight,
I got myself fit.
I lived a life of happiness,
For once a gave a shit.
I have many days ahead of me,
I hope they stay this way.
Then maybe one day when I'm old,
I can party when I'm grey.
A drunken little mess.
I used to get on the wrong side of the law,
I was always in distress.
Came along a little birdy,
She showed me how to fly.
She taught me how to love myself,
To this was my reply.
I lost a ton of weight,
I got myself fit.
I lived a life of happiness,
For once a gave a shit.
I have many days ahead of me,
I hope they stay this way.
Then maybe one day when I'm old,
I can party when I'm grey.

What happened to the youth of today?
A lad born the 80's, the first generation
To sit and play the on the Sony Playstation
Fast forward some years and see what's become
Fat kids all around unable to run
What happened to bikes, footballs and craic
Does nobody play out front or the back?
We live in a world where opinions don't matter
It's all PC garbage and you're unable to flatter
I don't see how we shape a world well
When it's easy on a keyboard to say go to hell!
What will become of the next 30 years
Will folk even speak or do people not care? ...

Today I'm feeling fine...
I woke up this morning, coffee and gym
Some post to collect and a dinner to sort
I left for work feeling fresh as a daisy
Happy with the effort put in and not being lazy
Fast forward a few hours and I'm getting excited
The thought of going home now it's on the horizon
It'll soon be all over and I'll be in my favourite place
I'll give a kiss to my missus and I'll have food in my face!

Howay the lads!
Born in Newcastle
In sight of the Tyne
A kid growing up
Black and White in his mind
From the steps of St James'
To the old Tyne Bridge
To stottie and pease pudding in a knackered old fridge
We here on Tyneside will always be proud
A Geordie roar that's ever so loud
A Geordie at heart, I'll forever be
Howay the lads, this ones on me!

SPIRITUAL POEM

Say "No" to religion in its current form
As I sit here and ponder
Is there any wonder
Why people are disallusioned...
As time goes by
And we learn a lot
Surely there is no room for religion...
"It's all just fantasy"
"A complete sham"
Some stories to tell of this "Superman"
Pie in the sky
A way to control
A confilt of opinion in a Twitter poll
I'll never be on board
I just don't get it
Why people believe but hey it's their choice
A ban to religion is what I would say
Although to a few, hell I should pay
Strike me...

Rattling the Codeine
I take the drugs to numb the pain
My raging back has me going completely insane
The white powder in varying shapes
Is pivotal to soothing all these aches
Sliding out of bed, like a slinky
Crying out loud like an unhappy baby
I sit and wince and long for repsite
Powering through the day with all my might
Days, weeks and months go by
Longing for the healing process to rectify
One day I will be better
So I can allow myself to be a right, go getter!
My raging back has me going completely insane
The white powder in varying shapes
Is pivotal to soothing all these aches
Sliding out of bed, like a slinky
Crying out loud like an unhappy baby
I sit and wince and long for repsite
Powering through the day with all my might
Days, weeks and months go by
Longing for the healing process to rectify
One day I will be better
So I can allow myself to be a right, go getter!

ANGER POEM

Angry even when you're not...
I'm sat on the stairs with a head full of problems.
The ability to smile right through them softens.
I listen to the voices that seem to be on repeat.
Self doubt, crippling worthlessness doesn't do me any favours.
Who the hell cares if I'm struggling?
I sit and consider what it would be like to be alone.
I'm not sure why, it would spin me out my comfort zone.
How do you beat issues when they constantly sound.
It's like fighting yourself and it goes around and around.
My life is pretty awesome, it definitely is.
I have...
