Priorities

I have watched you in your misdemeanor,
My disturbed face is getting greener.
You're at the mirror for an hour,
Your thoughts are getting unpleasantly sour.

Because you put yourself above the rest,
As everyone else you begin to test,
To see if they are worth your while.
They'll never be in a million miles.

And I, my friend, I'm done trying,
Done watching all the others crying.
And all because of the things you said,
The judgements crowding your insane head.

But I will let you live and think as you may,
I'll keep my changing words at bay.
You have to clear your own hate,
Get your own priorities straight.

I believe in John Lennon because he told me all I need is love, & to me that seems pretty accurate.

Sometimes

Sometimes I'm not perfect. Sometimes I'm broken. Does that make me different. Can I reach the goals I make. If you use criticism on me. Can I ever go beyond the stars with you.

Incomplete

When dreams get lost. And the heart gets stolen. As time passes by, life leaves you broken. When you build your self up. Just to break yourself down. When you hold it in. No matter how you've been.

An Apology

I have been quiet over the past few days, or could be weeks, I forget. I haven't really written anything, liked anything or reported anything for two reasons.... 1. Had my hands full 2.

Mind Cabinet

What a difference a day makes, World on my shoulders through the night I know to turn a cheek, I know what it takes A walk with the kids and a daft poem 'bout shite.

Life Laundry

I've had a little clear out. Got rid of a lot of things. Clothes, junk and the like. And people who shit fling. I cannot be bothered. To entertain you no more. The drama in my life.

Thank You

My posts aren't always happy or funny. (Although sometimes a little sexy) :) I hope that my followers can read the rawness of some of my words and I am very thankful for their patience with me.

Should be prepared and try to go at break... Teachers can't leave the class and go to the toilet during lessons so why should you be able to?

Excellent! Some people aren't worth it 😚
