When events in life hold your spirit down, depression becomes a happy place. Those around feel the negativity, as you struggle to hold a smile on your face. You push others away, in an attempt not to hurt, and to not be hurt. Feel so awkward even speaking to others, their gazes you avert. Finally… Continue reading Balance
A trickle of tears upon my face A rain that doesn’t wash away The pain in my heart I feel every day I’m getting tired Weary of life if you can’t tell Stuck doing the same old shit My own personal hell Maybe one day it’ll change A new home, job, life altogether But I… Continue reading Take Me Away
A streak of bad luck that could make a black cat blush. Broken glass across several screens, like two lives shattered, changed forever. You’re strong, you remain emotionally stable whatever the weather. I’m afraid, powerless to stop the inevitable, as I was before, as I always will be. Life has a way of taking from… Continue reading When Things Go Wrong
Red, black, flames. Pieces of metal floating aimlessly. Her eyes opened, to see nothing but darkness, empty space, an eternal vastness where only she lay, amongst an array of broken car parts. The flames increased in size, covering her from head to toe. She waited for the pain, it didn’t come. ‘Help,’ she said, at… Continue reading Paranoia
As far as the road will take me As far as my tyres will go Till my tank is empty Till my eyelids fall low For my heart will guide me For my travels need no justification I have no worries I have no destination
When my eyelids feel heavy I see your face When I’m alone I see you in every empty space When I’m sad I turn to the memories of you When I smile I’ll be thinking of what we used to do When I eventually see you I’ll tell you all that you didn’t get to… Continue reading Hope You’ve Been Well
I’ve reached a point where I’m happy where I am, But my mind it wanders, teases me, suggests I can achieve more if I try. I’m torn, Should I plant my roots, or spread my wings and fly? It’s getting too familiar, I’m getting too attached. No, it’s stable, it makes sense. Now if this… Continue reading Neither Here Nor There
The time to weave my words is slipping between my fingers, Each day gets further away and my desire to write lingers. Hours spent doing that which does not please the soul, Trying desperately to reach but a single one of my goals. To entice readers around the world with tales of adventure and joy,… Continue reading No Time
If I keep up this pace I’ll manage about two a year. ———————————- Half a year on and life remains unchanged, It’s strange, all the same, nothing new or rearranged. Still working, toiling, grafting along, Some days hard, others with a song. Depression still sits casually observing, Its presence, always unnerving. Though as long as… Continue reading Long Time No Post
Holding onto my sanity, Still fighting depression. Yet at the moment I’m happy, Or so I give the impression. Lack of free time takes its toll, Wake up for work, sleep and repeat. Have to make that money, To pay the bills and eat. All I want to do is pursue a passion, Writing and… Continue reading Roundabouts
