Pause, rewind and replay
Marked by an endless kiss
followed by unspoken bliss
each day another near miss
sweet nothing, is all it is
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and replay...
It's so hard to let this go
yes replaced by the no
wished so much it isn't so
but this is all I'll ever know.
Smile the pretence all away
hide the hurt walked away
wish to God I can not stay
I relive this picture every day
Pause, rewind and...

Fall will arrive soon
Fall will arrive soon
Now we are at the
End of Summer
I must say that
I hate when the Summer ends
Because the birds migrate
South for the winter
And I will not see then
Until next spring
Yes the leaves are also
Changing its colour
From green to gold
Also when Fall arrives
The hot days will end
And I will have to
Put my Summer clothes away
And start to wear
My Winter clothes
Now it is also cold
Every single day
Now we had changed the clocks
One hour back
Also, the days are shorter now ...
Now we are at the

I just can't believe
How the tulips
Looks so beautiful
Inside the vase
We have place
The tulips
Inside the vase
It was placed
In our dining room
Table
Also, we brought
The Spring inside
Our home
Yes people
The tulips
Are one of
My father’s creation
He had made it
With his holy hands
Also, we can’t believe
That my father
Made the tulips
So perfect
With
His holy hands
Yes we also know
That the tulips
It will last a few days
Then they will
Die eventually
I find it sad ...

I took just a glimpse
I took just a glimpse
In the sky
During this Summer night
Also seeing the moon
Shining in the sky
Yes there was some stars
Shinning in the sky
That left me breathless
I wish I had a camera
So, I could take a picture
Of this beautiful sky
Yes, my Father made that sky
Looking great
With his holy hands
Now I must go to bed
Because it is getting late
Yes, I need my sleep
In the sky
During this Summer night
Also seeing the moon
Shining in the sky
Yes there was some stars
Shinning in the sky
That left me breathless
I wish I had a camera
So, I could take a picture
Of this beautiful sky
Yes, my Father made that sky
Looking great
With his holy hands
Now I must go to bed
Because it is getting late
Yes, I need my sleep

Door
My feet are melded to the concrete
as though a hundred stoney fingers
are fused to the soles
and the only way to step forward
is by tearing hard enough
to leave skin behind.
They only let go when I walk away.

Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Why I should not love
My father
Give me a reason
Why I should not pray for my Father
Give me a reason
Why I should not go to bed
Early every night
Because I need to go to bed early
So that I can get a proper
Night sleep
Give a reason why
I should not take good care
Of my health
Because I don't want to let my health
Go down hill
Give me a reason
Why should I not wake up early
Every single day
Why I should not love
My father
Give me a reason
Why I should not pray for my Father
Give me a reason
Why I should not go to bed
Early every night
Because I need to go to bed early
So that I can get a proper
Night sleep
Give a reason why
I should not take good care
Of my health
Because I don't want to let my health
Go down hill
Give me a reason
Why should I not wake up early
Every single day

Mother faked her child's DNA to exclude the biological dad from its life!
By Stanley Collymore
Then got pregnant a second time
to avoid going to prison. Didn't
work though! Thankfully so,
as pregnancy shouldn't be an excuse to really avoid penal incarceration. However that said,
it's a routine ploy, which very evidently works
for women, most of the time, supplemented
in this discernible scam usually by feminine tears; accusations of rape, or sexual abuse;
or odious coercion; you name it, women try
it and specifically in court, get away with it!

Want
Once, I was encumbered;
With shame, that was not mine.
Now, that war is over,
I straighten out my spine.
Fear belongs, to the mediocre.
So I left mine, behind.
Want, is the hangover.
Slowing down my mind.

Gwynplaine's Sentiment
Amidst the fog-wrapped coasts of France's sullen shore,
I was borne, a child plucked from humanity's womb—
a husk emptied, reshaped, molded by hands cruel and arcane.
O Heaven, did you witness the crime cast in your name?
Were your stars still fixed as mine fell from grace,
my face carved in grins by blades that spared no flesh nor soul,
leaving me bound forever to a smile that knew no mirth,
a grin in eternal mockery of all joy?
Look upon me, oh silent ones, whose pity wounds sharper than the steel—
for I am Gwynplaine, the jester...

Moonchild
All you ever fed me was cruelty and pain,
Starving, I consumed every morsel,
every drop I drank.
Instructed to stay quiet,
Mind my manners and never speak.
Never decline what’s been requested,
And never appear displeased.
Always take what I am gifted
With a smile upon my face.
And the only expressions permitted to be given
Are those of gratitude and thanks.
Every day, with words and fists like blades,
You cut away my meat.
“That frown is gonna cost ya honey,
You have three seconds to show those teeth
Do...

Diana
Flash goes off
My life is extinguished
Lasting in my floating nightmares
Can’t come up for air
Coulda been the queen
Living fairytale dreams
Instead twisted and bleeding
In the back of an Audi
Vultures on the kill
Snapping to feed the till
Piranha on the flesh
Down to bone
My life is extinguished
Lasting in my floating nightmares
Can’t come up for air
Coulda been the queen
Living fairytale dreams
Instead twisted and bleeding
In the back of an Audi
Vultures on the kill
Snapping to feed the till
Piranha on the flesh
Down to bone

Goodbye
Problem is, I forgot how to sit still. Even when the tide is low and the wind subsides, I feel the need to consume…be it content, canna, alcohol, drama. Or just take the simple solution.
Can’t rest anymore. Can’t sleep without pills. Can’t function without amphetamines. Can’t learn without guidance. Can’t be comfortable in my own skin. Not comfortable with this mind.
I trust no one. Especially not myself.
Goodbye.
