RISE & GRIND
Dedicated to Missy, Ragnar, Ash, Taryn, shadoe, and Crimsin
for your constant love and support. I am gonna do this by any means necessary. You guys made me want to live again, I can't thank you enough - huge warm Scottish Bear Hugs :-)
RISE & GRIND
Stand up straight
Stand up straight
Lying down
Was my mistake
Faith and hope
Faith and hope
Fooled by liars
Rope-a-dope
Trouble and strife
Trouble and strife
Heart was broken
Cuts like a knife
Tears and laughter
Tears and laughter
Disguising their misery
As happy ever after
Walls and fences
Walls and fences
For these abusers
There will be consequences
Rise and grind
Rise and grind
Drive these fuckers
Out they're minds
Head held high
Head held high
We pray for those
About to die
Pipes and drums
Pipes and drums
Something wicked
This way comes
Sword and shield
Sword and shield
This the last time
I will ever yield
No surrender, no retreat
No surrender, no retreat
They are only, loveless
Bags of meat
Love and hate
Love and hate
Time to call them out
Time to get irate
Punishment assigned
Punishment assigned
Drop the dead donkeys
Leave them all behind
Shun and fuck them
Shun and fuck them
Vengeance will be swift
As I now condemn
Rise and grind
Love and honour
Sword and shield
Pipes and drums
No surrender, no retreat
The white flag now a black flag
Take no prisoners
Take no shit
Not any more
The sweetest revenge
Despite their wishful thinking
Is to live
Love and be happy
As they wallow
In a mud bath of misery
That makes me smile

“Pipes and drums
Pipes and drums

... you just know I’m burning THAT! 😊
I have spoken to you (more or less) every day for the last year. We are chalk and cheese. We’re 25 years apart in age. We’re a few hundred miles in distance. But I have to say you’ve changed my life.
You go on about it, how I’ve changed yours. But you make me believe in good people. You make me believe in the value of friendship and what that means.
I am whole heartedly blessed to call you my friend. And I also think you’re a massive fucking cunt, ya blistering Sasquatch. 😂
This poem is testament to your grit. Proud of you every day.

dearest David I've been out of my mind lately
and I missed this in my darkened state...
this is just the warrior cry I needed to hear today
thank you my brother in arms for the fire in my belly today
you brought me courage to stand today...
I love you...
love Brenda ❤
