1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

I’m liberated

I’m liberated so I say what I want to say

I’m liberated so I help a homeless person today

I’m liberated to donate to a good cause

I’m liberated to not judge other people’s flaws

I’m liberated to eat what I want

I’m liberated to burp when I want

I’m liberated to dance in the street

I’m liberated even if I’ve got two left feet

I’m liberated to listen to abba like my mum

I’m liberated because I sing along

I’m liberated to call my mother up

I’m liberated to show her my love

I’m liberated to be selfish for once

I’m liberated to stop putting on a front

Rejection will not beat me!

Apply apply apply

Feels like I’m gonna die

It’s get me so very down

Every time It makes me frown

It’s over fifty applies now

One interview, negative, how?

I’m an immigrant, discriminated

I feel worthless, emasculated

Stuck in the same job, 6 years

Hier archie bringing me to tears

I’m qualified in the uk

It’s worthless here, just ok

Every email, NO, even one letter too

It all bemused me, rejection spews!

I just need one, I tell myself

I’ll even work for less, don’t care for wealth

I want my weekends, that’s all I need

Because my job refuses it, I have to pleed

They won’t give it to me, they do as they please

They want me to suffer, even if I have to bleed

I’ll do what ever I can, what ever it takes

To look after my family what ever my fate

Karma

.

I believe in karma coming round

And when it hits you are downed

A bad boy when I was young

Getting in trouble, thinking it was fun

Adult, car broken into, radio nicked

Maybe I deserved it for being a twit

I always like thinking positive

Dont like people being negative

Do someone a good deed

That’s all you really need

I believe in karma and have always found

What goes around comes around

Job rejection

.

You’re not good enough, there is always better

Speak two languages, qualified, whatever

Mouth off at them, why am I not in ?

There’s lots of good applicants within

Three months of applying, three months of this

Rejection constant, the agencies are taking the piss

I won’t be beat, even though it’s getting me down

Ok maybe for the moment it’s making me frown

Just wondering how long it’s gonna be

Applying for jobs to get one acception to be free!

Je suis égoïste

This grumpy prick

This selfish dick

Argumentative guy

Cannot lie

Argues again

Time well spent

Is this the end

Going round the bend

What’s wrong with you?

This Shit you spew

Can’t button your mouth?

Stupid lout

All for you

Always true

Point of view

Will never do

My ex the ice queen

My ex, I called her the ice queen

My name for her because she was mean

She wasn’t always like that to start

But that girl tore my heart apart

A year and a half I wasted with her

We argued once and she cowered

She did not want me to have a life

To her this just seemed right

She split up with me Christmas eve

I couldn’t accept it I was so peeved

I took it hard, I left that day

On the train on a new way

I couldn’t stand it, the rejection killed

That queen smothered me and broke my will

I tried getting back on with things

So I took on what life would bring

One day I saw her, I saw her again

That girl knew just how to get in my brain

We studied in London we waited for a train

How she was so smug it drove me insane

She talked about her boyfriend running her a bath

Oh that smug bitch, how could she laugh

I’m over her now, but it took a long while

That ice queen bite was viscous, even vile

Suicidal swill

Drained, tired, had enough

This funny thing called love

Misunderstood words, different views

Body sick gonna spew

Recuperate energy, charge up

Batteries empty, never last

Easy way out, selfish way

Tablets cupboard, cowards play

Cocktail vodka mixed with pills

Do the trick, suicidal swill

Tiresome life

Give me a break, give me some peace

5 mins please that’s all I need

Do this do that don’t ever stop

I’m going crazy, losing the plot

Washup, laundry you name it

Sweeping, baby, no time to sh..

No sleep, interrupted, all the time

Go to work, zombiefied, tow the line

Drive back, rush, fill up the car

Get in, baby bath, dry and feed her

I’m weak, breaking down, had enough

Go to bed early cause I feel so rough

What I do for my family, all the chores

I don’t care how I feel, not at all.

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Is this goodbye?

I’m going to do it, I’ve had enough
This life for me has no fucking love

I have no fear, I defy all in my darkest time

I’m downing this bottle, all this wine

I need it as I don’t want to feel the pain

When I’m going to cut up all my vein

I’m going to bleed, to end my life

To exit this devastation, the hassle, the strife

I deserve it, to suffer, for what I will leave

My family, all the others, what will they believe?

By finding me here, in a puddle of my blood

As my body will piss blood like a crimson flood

What will they do, what will they say?

Will they forgive me, will they pray?

I’m weak, I’m desperate, but this is my ultimate plan

It is me who will hold my life in my hands

What will it be like when I start to cut?

Will my tears flow, will I have the guts?

Can I cut deep, explode an artery?

What am I doing, am I worried?

I’m so selfish, taking the easy root out if I dare

Not worried about my friend, the only person who really cares

She’s so special, she matters so much

I imagine for her this is going to suck

Forced to listen, to accept how I feel,

All my cries for help, how does she feel?

Sorry to my family for not being the timid girl you want

I’m the strong feminist, will you miss me when I’m gone?

You always judged me for being me

Why did you never want me to be happy?

I hate myself for being an attention seeker wanting to die

It’s going to happen now, will I do it, is this goodbye?

.

A poem about the life of one of my readers. A massive thank you to you.
