If it makes you happy
If it makes you happy
But you just wanna cry
You don’t understand it
And you keep asking why
.
Don’t stop fighting
You can get through this
You are strong now
Come on, one last wish

This is my life
I am cold
Nights on the street
Found somewhere to hide
Got nothing to eat
.
Don’t want to see anyone
Don’t want to be found
Sick of life at home
Felt so bound
.
My tummy rumbling
No money left
Got to eat something
Then I can rest
.
I leave my armchair
In a stone outhouse
To forage for food
Just like a mouse
.
To the corner shop
To browse the shelves
Beans and spaghetti
I help myself
.
Under my coat
I dart for the door
They try to stop me
I push them to the floor
.
I run back home
Shaken and scared
15 years old
My life laid bare
.
I open the can
With a rock and a knife
I eat my dinner
This is my life
.

My daughter’s dream
My little girl
4 years is she
Wants to be an astronaught
Would make her happy
.
I thought to say no
But what do I know?
One day it’s possible
How can we know?
.
Maybe for now
It is just a dream
I will not take it away
Pull at its seams
.
Such beautiful innocence
I wait for the next
My daughter’s dreams
They are the best

Bloody cat
That bloody cat
Annoys me so much
Can’t catch it
Or even touch
.
It darts about
Toppling all
Even that
Little stool
.
Why so scatty?
You might ask?
I don’t know
I can’t ask
.
Meow meow meow
He doesn’t reply
Just looks at me
Thinks I’m high
.

Pitter patter
Pitter patter rain drops
Cold on my skin
Seeping through
To the heart within
.
So fresh, icy shock
Waking me up
I want more
Can never have enough
.
Why am I here?
I don’t understand
What force
Could I not withstand?
.
No longer scared
Of this life before
Now to work
I will settle the score
.

Today I feel better
Today I feel better than yesterday
It is less heavy and I can make my way
One day at a time look after yourself
Think carefully about your mental health

Bloom for me
I love watching you
Anticipating the sunshine
As it creeps up its head
The horizon an orange blur
I feel the warmth on my face
My morning dose of pleasure
The shade shadows vacate
And the light powers through
And I wait
Waiting to see your beauty
All your colours
Your vibrancy
As if magic to my eyes
And ecstacy to my soul
For I needed to see you
Today
Feed on the suns rays
Bloom in all magnificence
Call the bees
With your melodic inticing nectar
I am as the bees
Subdued by your odour
Hypnotised by your posture
I allow myself to smell you
To inspire you
My drug
My love
When you abandoned me
Oi, careful!
What you doing mate?
Why am I here?
This is a big mistake!
.
I am on a mountain
Of others like me
We used to make them
So happy
.
What happened?
Why am I here?
You used to touch me
While drinking a beer
.
I miss you
I don’t know what I did wrong
I used to play
All your favourite songs
.
Now I’m a bit slower
It’s been two years
Now it’s come true
My biggest fear
.
No goodbye
Not even that
Just your frustration
Slaps and smacks
.
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you
What you wanted forever
I would never of left you
Abandoned you never
.
Now I’m about to die
To be taken apart
When you abandoned me
You broke my heart
I won’t let go
Proceed with caution
Read the sign
A long way down
A steep decline
Surely if
We were to fall
To our deaths
That wouldn’t be cool
Hold my hand
We will make it there
Stay close to me
Don’t be scared
We start to cross
That rickety bridge
Starting to shake
Over the abyss
Stay with me
Don’t look down
We will make it
We will not drown
Moving faster
To get away
To reach safety
Keep fear at bay
Almost there
At the end
Nearly made it
Energy spent
Then we hear
The horrible sound
The chords break
From their bound
Gravity pulling
As the bridge falls
I hold you tight
Trying to stall
I won’t let go
Never would I dare
I look in your eyes
That fearful stare
I pull you to the top
On to me
We breathe together
And feel the breeze
Safe at last
To continue on
Forever searching
To us we belong
