Have you ever
Have you ever been a depressive state
Nobody loves you it's all hate
Your mates go see their new mates
It takes two minutes to take two takes
Motivation is nill back down the steep hill
Thoughts running through you mind
can't keep the feet still
at a quick glance looks like he tap danced
Mummy that man's standing funny
That's my rap stance
work pays but still I still ask for an advance
Coz after you've paid the food and bills you know the Drill
you bank is ill till the end of the month
And it will it...
Nobody loves you it's all hate
Your mates go see their new mates
It takes two minutes to take two takes
Motivation is nill back down the steep hill
Thoughts running through you mind
can't keep the feet still
at a quick glance looks like he tap danced
Mummy that man's standing funny
That's my rap stance
work pays but still I still ask for an advance
Coz after you've paid the food and bills you know the Drill
you bank is ill till the end of the month
And it will it...

Running Water
Little ol on the spectrum me,
trying to be something I am not,
a mother.
How do I? What do I do?
There's a human, a son
he needs affection
not deflection
yet why is it beyond me?
I haven't grown since 15,
stunted, emotionally
and sadly this is all I can be
I've tried, I think.
Not sure of the right time
to reach for a hug so I don't
I talk shit because I am good at it
words are all I have, they are not enough
and break people.
The last time I hugged my best friend
was the day we...
trying to be something I am not,
a mother.
How do I? What do I do?

Ain't Got no
Ain't got no money
ain't got no home
ain't got no partner
to hold
my weary bones
work
is like fishing
i never know
but im not alone
i have me
that holds me close
beyond the cage
where bitterness grows
in it's vain attempt
to make me repent
to open the door
so we can become
Friends
ain't got no home
ain't got no partner
to hold
my weary bones
work
is like fishing
i never know
but im not alone
i have me
that holds me close
beyond the cage
where bitterness grows
in it's vain attempt
to make me repent
to open the door
so we can become
Friends

Wreckage From Lifes Storm
Soaked by her blood
Through the Darkness she crawls
Riddled with wounds
Not everyone saw
Battered and beaten
Bearing burdens
Of life
Her scars were
Her medals
She wore with pride
Her stare
Became hard
With coldness
In her eyes
She stands firm
In her ground
While her father
Passes judgment
From his mind
No one has ever
Walked in her shoes
Nor do they
Know her life story
Of her successes
Struggles and
The savage abuse
Rich in abundance
Of health she ...
Through the Darkness she crawls
Riddled with wounds
Not everyone saw
Battered and beaten
Bearing burdens
Of life
Her scars were
Her medals
She wore with pride
Her stare
Became hard
With coldness
In her eyes
She stands firm
In her ground
While her father
Passes judgment
From his mind
No one has ever
Walked in her shoes
Nor do they
Know her life story
Of her successes
Struggles and
The savage abuse
Rich in abundance
Of health she ...

Something along the lines of he's fine, there's nothing wrong with him
This empty shell
the blue eyes
somehow sparkle
in spite of the hollowing
harrowing pain
Like hollow point entry wounds
resealed time again
with magic putty
Relocated joints
broken bones set as best they can
Internally
suicide metaphors go unoticed
same as repairing through self healing
generally passes by unappreciated
Those hidden scars worn as badges
Says alot that silence
either playing the victim forever
or rising beyond woe is
no is me
the blue eyes
somehow sparkle
in spite of the hollowing
harrowing pain
Like hollow point entry wounds
resealed time again
with magic putty
Relocated joints
broken bones set as best they can
Internally
suicide metaphors go unoticed
same as repairing through self healing
generally passes by unappreciated
Those hidden scars worn as badges
Says alot that silence
either playing the victim forever
or rising beyond woe is
no is me

The Songbird’s Anthem
I find I am awed.....inspired,
when I hear the caged bird sing.
I believe that to be how she flies,
In mourning, for the death of her wings.
when I hear the caged bird sing.
I believe that to be how she flies,
In mourning, for the death of her wings.

Weight Of The World
Sometimes
I feel it all
The weight of the world
Hits me so hard
I can't breathe
My mind
Is driving me insane
Overthinking everything
So much goes on
All around me
I wish it would freeze
Or at least go slower
It's overwhelming
I feel like
I could break
At any moment
I feel it all
The weight of the world
Hits me so hard
I can't breathe
My mind
Is driving me insane
Overthinking everything
So much goes on
All around me
I wish it would freeze
Or at least go slower
It's overwhelming
I feel like
I could break
At any moment

Don't Break Down
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
You go through the motions of each day but you aren't really living
You listen to you childern laughing but don't even smile
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Crying alone in your car to that sad song that comes on
Not understanding why you feel so miserable
Trying to hide the tears from you family and friends
Crying alone in...
When life gets you down

Don't Break Down
When life gets you down

Crying alone in your car to that sad song that comes on
Not understanding why you feel so miserable
Trying to hide the tears from you family and friends

Stop chasing dreams
My sister told me to follow my dreams
but growing up my nightmares were really just following me
I wish she would have told me "how you live today will affect the rest of your life,
why you keep doing wrong if you know it ain't right?"
So before I die I'm gonna speak up for what I believe in
Cuz I struggled too long for it to be for no reason
Every battle I've fought I went to war on my own
Every demon I conquered I did it alone
So if it makes you happy no-one else's opinion should matter
Your life is your book you decide who you want in...

Fibonacci's Sequence
Brushes excavate a nacreous glider
sailed
from below sparced out tides blowing over and setting calcium bubble foam one into the other against the propulsion of school fins.
Under there, free falling
beneath capital glory,
with the fibres, rocks and sticks, whatever plastics remain and bone.
Ganglion.
I've shaken tremors of that word,
but never thought.
Detergent gleamed somehow
and drenched in polish,
the spirals slab in queer out on the walls.
Something died, but isn't there.
A cross disavowed from...

Tides Change
In the blink of an eye they can be gone
Then we're left here trying to carry on
Storms will come & storms will go
We all have a finale to our show
We must evolve & grow with each episode
Instead of being timid, gotta be proud & bold
You may fold but don't ever quit the game
When feeling low there's much more to gain
Your pain can expose things that you didn't see
Mines helped me find this thing called poetry
I was knocked to my knees when my Granny died
Now these stanza lines help me continue to ride ...
