Angels Call
At a loss to know what happened, I did not see you fall
I wasn't there, I didn't see when Angels came to call
A world without, memories now is all I see
I leave you now, to say your own soliloquy.....
This is could be my own exposition,
Bills, money, world events, my own loneliness decision
People all around me but I'm hiding the pain
Physical illness or mental strife is all that I gain

Homeless
I'm tired and cold, rags gathered tight, so show me some pity
It's been to long out in this cardboard city
Food gathered and begged, no chance of meds, while you stay warm in luxury beds
A doorway, a tunnel, a railway station
A look of disgust from most of the nation
I didn't ask to be ousted from a normal life
To be fed to the streets in toil and stife
Clothes dishevelled, ripped and most...

The Lighthouse Keeper's Lament
In the depths of my soul, a battle rages
Between the light and the dark, not written on pages
Deception creeps in, a constant war within
Yet I find strength to help, to heal, to even win
I lead and mentor with doubt in my heart
An imposter's mask, a master of art
Carrying others' weight, ignoring my own
At what cost, I wonder, am I overthrown?
But still, I stand tall like a lighthous...

chronic pain
i'm sick of doing the best i can
because it isn't ever enough
if I can't be good,
what's the point of being here at all?
I never sleep well anymore
even though I tell the doctors I sleep fine
I just stare at the ceiling
and live through the lives of others
sit in class with an ache behind my eyes
I can't even tell if the pain is real
excedrin can only do so much
and I think my toler...

Dry relapse with no high(through the eyes of another)
I'm not a soldier but I'm at war
Clean and sober year number four
Battles with temptation
Past friends and relations
Conflict miscommunication
I get tired of waiting I'm tryna be patient
Testing my patience
What's expected of me isn't me
No point trying to change me you see
That change must only come from me
People are not what they seem
Reality looks dif...

1000 MILES IN 2024
They said, no!
no, you can’t!
just shut up,
go away;
they said
what they
always say,
too old,
too fat,
waste of space,
a pisspot,
a fantasist,
say voices
in my head.
I've told them,
piss off,
the first step’s
to take one,
so I took one,
I planned,
If you do not
you plan to fail,
so I got all my kit,
warm leggings
and mi...

Support worker
Hoody, vape and tatt
All night I've been sat
Another coffee will wake me up
Here's a magazine, take my cup
Alone on the ward, feeling bored
My eyes crush a matchstick hoard
Marks and scuffs on the walls
Remind me of times, restraints and all
Long days and nights settle in my thoughts
Old faces, names, and incidences haunt
Decisions made, young peop...

Strike up
Savouring the solace
Subverting the scene
A spectre on the surf
Sublime and serene
Suffering the silence
Shaping the sun
Scuppering the smog
So sane with someone
Staffing submerged
Sheepish and surged
Scared as the scurried scatter
Splurged and so shattered
Shanked and superfluous
Serious and stained
So sad to s...

Acknowledge me
It reaches further than "please fuck me" or "don’t touch me"
It’s a liminal in-between
A line we like to call blurry
But I never asked you to undress me
My body abandoned me
My words went slurry
Tongue too thick to go beyond a mumble
Kind sir escorted me to save me from stumble
Four times play on my mind
One of them I even forgot
Until it accosted me during a usual d...
