Rose Tinted Glasses

Today I'm going to buy some rose tinted glasses
As this is how I want to view the world
I'm going to turn off the TV, delete my apps
And ignore the sadness unfurl

Is there no good news to report
Or happiness to read
It's death, tragedy, and bombings
Thats all thats in my feed

Police officers killed in the line of duty
An innocent child abducted too
Britain in another recession
Jimmy Saville a pedophile, who knew?

The Middle East shows no rest
Pointless killing still number one
Landslides kill children in China
Another madman with a gun

I don't want to live in ignorance
But I don't want to look anymore
All I want is some happy news
Is this world truly rotten to the core?

So I'll wear my glasses with pride
Don't judge me when I say
I'm going to enjoy a happy news free bubble
And not let sadness get in my way

Glasses

Glasses, They disguise, The purple bags, Under my eyes. Glasses, If eyes are red, You don't see it, Just glasses instead. Glasses, Hide the tears, From your friends, And fellow peers.

Keep Smiling

Smiling hides a lot If you put on a convincing face Most people won't be able to tell its fake That inside you're crying That your heart is slowly dying Even my friends don't notice the pain But...

Under The Covers

Under the covers I can hide away. Hide from words that hurt me. Faces that scowl in my direction. Under the covers I am left be. Under the covers I don't hear. Negativity pouring off the tongue.

I Ask For A Moment

(Another free write aided by the night). Just give me a day. One single day. That's all that I ask. Send it my way. Just give me a night. One peaceful sleep. That just may be. All that I need.

We Are Strong

She's sitting in the bathroom. Alone and so afraid. Opening the secret box. She finds her trusty blade. She doesn't want to do it. But it's all she's ever known. She finds a way to close the box.

Get me a pair will you hunny? ๐Ÿ˜ข ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โคโ˜•

@leelee101 hopefully it's a BOGOF offer. ๐Ÿ˜˜

3 for 2 I'm in I stopped watching the news a long time ago

@tetti2 my sister has a friend who hasn't for years or read papers, I always thought it bizarre, but now I am beginning to understand why. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I don't read papers at all I flick in and out of the news, in the mornings. Ignorance is definitely bliss

Well said babe! I avoid papers and news these days! Too much bollocks and usually all fabricated or exaggerated and too many long words in the posh papers for me and they too big. I do miss page 3 tho Lmfao ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’‹

@smellyfingers lol. Indeed, I'm sure Chloe or Chantelle from Scarborough always had interesting viewpoints on current affairs. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hahaha stop teasing me!! It was Zoe 17, London. Mmmm I'm sure she was 17 for a few years. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’‹

@smellyfingers ok sorry. Can't help it humour gets me though the days. ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ yeah me too but I'm laughing at myself more these days, ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’‹

Count me in too. I am trying not to but can't help but peek๐Ÿ˜ข

@sarahgamal it's just so depressing the news these days. ๐Ÿ˜˜

@smellyfingers @eddie12309 try RT news it gives a different prospective and isn't full of the tabloid cr** ๐Ÿ˜˜

I soooooooooo get this Hun ....I feel exactly the same...I try to dip into the news as it depresses me....the world seems crazy, vile and weak!!...the other day we were watching something about a guy who is no 1 in the charts...cheesy song...but it's a YouTube sensation etc...I said to hubby you know what though its refreshing to see something so silly and fun, he's made a fortune from his silliness, there is sooooo much shite going on in the world....why bloody not have some fun!!...a great write lovely lady ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

@sjw cheers. I'll check that out but I don't read tabloids for that reason. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜˜

@misslittleDHP thanks lovely. I think a royal baby is what is needed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

@unsuitableguy cheers for repost ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜˜

@eddie12309 you're welcome. I feel the same way about the news most of the time, I tend to let it get to me. But the metro's "weird news" and the BBC's "also in the news" usually cheers me up. Here's one of today's highlights "Man jailed for attacking wife with sandwich" ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

@eddie12309 yes indeed ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

@unsuitableguy ๐Ÿ˜‚

@unsuitableguy Lmfao the mind boggles at what he did with that sandwich and what the filling was ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

@sjw I have rt news I twitter but hardly use twitter. I just can't be arsed to read what crap the governments and other organized criminals are doing, it's all too depressing and I rant too much as it is Lmfao ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ’‹

@smellyfingers perhaps it was an extra long stale baguette.

@eddie12309 I think this is superb, well written and thoughtful!! I don't watch the news and I don't read the papers. Anything I need to know I find out about anyway! It is only such a small part of what happens in the world. Most of the things I hear about are stories of love, courage, friendship and joy. People amaze me with their wisdom on a daily basis! Where are these stories in our media???? โœจ๐ŸŒŸโœจ๐ŸŒŸ

Hahaha I'm thinking posh bread like sun dried tomato with pheasant and leafs in a chutney sauce.......all he wanted was a blt ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’‹

@sleepydragon indeed , where are these stories? There's a programme I saw once, pride of Britain, I think. Why ate these stories not making the headlines when they happen. No wonder our children have very little to inspire them with the dross that's on tv and magazines. Oh dear I'm ranting. ๐Ÿ˜˜
