Everyone is welcome
Why does sadness weep within my pores?
What ever I see is immediately absorbed
It seeps in deep and swallows me whole
Like a wormhole, nowhere to go
I ache for solitude, to be left alone
I can’t even return now, there is no home
Torn away, ripped as a page from a book
My innocence is gone, it has been took

Don’t forget to leave a review
As we yearn for love
In every thought
We await perfection
To a point distraught
As we wait and wait
Time goes by
We lie to ourselves
And time does fly
Age encroaching
That ticking clock
Love evading
Until it stops
Will it be found
If we look too much
Life has passed
Love has lost

Sleep well pretty cat
Dream away
Stretch yourself
Laze your day
Looking so warm
All snuggled up
Asking for nothing
But getting our love
So tiring being you
Hours passing by
Not caring bout life
Nor about why

Time whispering away
As snow patters to the floor
Chorus in the streets
Awaiting the new year
Saying goodbye to regrets
That we hold on to so deep
Cutting away through our skin
As we cry the tears we weep
Reflecting forever hard
On what cannot be undone
Trudging through the tormented life
Another year has begun
As the fireworks explode
In a chorus of hurrah
Forgetting all our troubles
Wishing they were afar

Oh I love to wear a mask
Oh I love to feel so daft
Feeling muzzled just like a dog
Glasses steaming with stupid fog
Now I’m waiting in my line
Like a sheep just stuck behind
Hey stand back! You’re in my space
Can’t you see my I don’t care face
I’m poking my tongue out, just for you
Oh darn it, did you see it, sorry, oops
Don’t hit me, I apologise mate
Can’t you see it was just a mistake
God we’re going crazy, what a bloody mess
It’s the new road rage, everyone’s upset
Can’t take a joke. Sticking things up the nose
I think about funny things, cheesy smelly toes
Now that passes better, that second of pain
Stupid medical test, Like it’s a game
It didn’t really hurt, that tear in my eye
Just a bit of dust caught me by surprise
Until the next time, sure I’ll see you again
It wasn’t that bad, even if there is no end

Is it normal I don’t have a voice?
Is it normal I don’t have a choice?
Is it normal you can touch me where you want?
Is it normal that I can’t stop you and you won’t?
Do I have to keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life?
Do I have to live with the torment, suffer the lies?
Do I have to watch on as you do what you do again?
Do I have to worry that the next person may be my friend?
I am scared but I will stay silent no more
I am scared but I was never your whore
I am scared of what you may do to me
I am scared but my conscious is free
The secret is out I hope you will be shamed
The secret is out, an end to your game
The secret is out, to be censored like me
The secret is out…
.
Good morning daddy
Please pick me up
Hold me tight
I love you so much
Good morning daddy
I love your eyes
What will we do today?
Is it a surprise?
Good morning daddy
Are you okay?
You’re not yourself
Can we play?
Good morning daddy
You’re coughing a lot
Drink some syrup
To make it stop
Good morning mummy
Where is daddy today?
Why are you crying?
Can we go play?

I watched him pulling up in his expensive car
I had seen him driving slow from afar
I offered to clean, with my water and rag
The window opened and there was a young lad
He had a toy tractor, yellow and green
This amazing toy my eyes had never seen
He let me play with it for a second or two
He smiled at me, then offered it too
I was so happy, by this boy’s geste
I searched my affairs with behest
I shared a sweet that mother had made
He ate with me, it made my day
The car drove off, he waved goodbye
I will remember him, till the day I die
.
That boy at school
Life already so hard
He teases me
Every day a new start
.
I never asked for this
To have him in my class
He always bullies me
Such an ass
.
He laughs with his friends
Just because he can
I don’t have any
No one understands
.
I work by myself
Always apart
I wear it on my sleeve
My fragile heart
.
Why do they have to be mean?
What did I ever do?
Am I so different from them?
Why do they exclude?
.
Days and days
This torment goes on
Nothing changes
The same repeating song
.
I can’t tell anyone
My mum doesn’t even care
I’m getting sick of it
I’m really scared
.
Being threatened now
Thumped in the chest
Shirt ripped down the side
I just want to rest
.
I am so fed up now
So I will bring an arm
I will wait for him
This time I will inflict harm
.
The last day of school
Before summer break
He decides to attack me
That’s a big mistake
Remembering when
We used to be small
When we used to laugh
A joy to be born
.
When parents could be nice
We weren’t beaten and bruised
Just relying on innocence
Not knowing the word abused
.
But a few of us unlucky
To be where we were
Silence and quivering
Not daring to stir
.
Not to get up early
Or to make a noise
Mustn’t disturb them
Cannot have a voice
.
The beatings taken
Black and blue
Bones cracked
Shattered through
.
Shy children
Not daring to talk
Too scared at school
It showed in the walk
.
Where would we go?
If we could ever run
What would happen to us?
If we returned home
.
We can always talk
Escape can be made
Talk to someone, anyone
You can get away
.
You can always talk to someone. The scariest part is leaving. There are always people that can help.
Be strong
