Mindfulness calling
There's a phone at my work
And you might think me a berk
But it calls me from a mindful zone
A place I like to visit alone
Ear to the top
As sounds fizzle and hop
It is a direct line
To feeling fine
I hear wind, birds, hussle and bustle
A universe unexplored in the rustle
Even in short bursts, it quenches my thirst
Distorting my mind toward what's first

Nobody's bleeding
Nobody's bleeding,
But everybody's hurting,
It's a hidden sickness
That we refuse to accept,
An actor’s part,
Theatrical gestures
Our initial response.
We refuse to believe.
They must be faking,
Raking in the sympathy.
A perfectly played role,
A smile betrays them
As the blind decry them,
It's no broken bone...

Let the wolves run
Let the wolves run
I run faster
Let the wolves run
I am stronger
Sure of myself
I flex the muscles of my mind
No need to hide
I expel hexes in one breath,
You may not enter
Nor commit the theft
Of my soul
You are uninvited
Release the hatred from your heart
Vengeance is a waste of energy
To be enlightened is to be smart
And rise above, rise!
I a...

Lightening
Lightening burns and strains my mind
Freezes my thoughts like a photo
Open to think again
Alive again to life ever after
For now at least
Lifting me from depressions hungry jaw

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 people blamed

Muddy
Sitting on a bench,
In a muddle,
My feet in a puddle,
Not noticing
The mud on my shoes,
Just the mud in my mind.
The plaque on the seat,
Reminder of someone passed,
Loved long after their departure,
A life lived and lost,
But remembered forever,
On the bench where I sit
With my muddy shoes,
And muddy min...
