New work

I’m broken

I’m broken

When them words leave my mouth I cry

To realise the fragile truth

Even when acting strong and wearing my mask

It is useless to hide it

Damaged interior

A vase that has been shattered into a thousand pieces and glued back together

The risk of breaking once more

Forever losing pieces

There is only so much glue

Sometimes the pieces won’t glue back

That once loved vase suddenly isn’t worth keeping anymore

So it gets replaced

Why keep a broken vase?

New work

Look after yourself

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJbcCRYK/

I am tired from all the thinking

Of what is going on

I am tired of the situation

If I’m coming or gone

I don’t know what to do

I have little choice

I can’t really speak out

I seem to have lost my voice

Waiting is so tedious

What am I waiting for?

Better to watch paint dry

At least that isn’t a bore

I have to look after myself

I need to nurture my soul

For this eventual period

That is my only goal

New work

I just have to watch

I’m feeling as though in stasis

But I see all around

I have no impact

I cannot make a sound

I just have to watch

The world as it goes by

Wondering to myself

What is this life?

What decisions did I make?

Why did I love wrong?

Why am I so damaged?

Why should I go on?

I often feel anxious

I feel it boiling my blood

I cannot even breathe

My oxygen turns to mud

I feel suffocated

As I can’t talk anymore

Every day tasks

Are now such chores

Patience I have in me

I have to, or I’d go mad

Dealing with the life around me

As all I touch goes bad

One last deep breath

As I wish to forget

I can’t get out of this

My conscience will not let

New work

I hope tomorrow I’ll be fine

Sick of being used as a pawn or a chump

So from now I’m certainly gonna start being blunt

Told what to do for so fucking long

Used to love her, or so goes the song

Try to change everything about myself

Even the state of my mental health

Tried being considerate, caring a lot

But I have to confess, I’m losing the plot

I tried to love, to care, in every way

Every initiation, I was pushed away

Until rejection invaded me, heart and soul

It tore my in half, no longer whole

She asked me to love her, to show I cared

I stopped wanting to, then I was scared

We drifted apart, never the same again

I lost a lover and I lost my friend

Plasters cannot mend severed hearts

We just need to have fresh starts

Maybe one day I’ll feel better again

I’m tired at the moment, all the same

To throw away our love that whimpered out

To now have nothing and to go without

To hate the day, to just want it to end

Feeling depressed, going round the bend

I breathe and move on and hope for a sign

But for now I just hope tomorrow I’ll be fine

New work

I need to feel better

What will you throw at me today?

What suffering do I deserve?

I am at the doctor’s for medication

As I have nothing in the reserve

I’m all out

I quit

My last bit of will power

Has turned to shit

I cried for an hour

I’ve had four hours sleep

I’ve lost 3 kilos

I cry when I speak

I admit I need help

I can’t go on

It’s not a form of weakness

You have to fight to be strong

My heart may not be with me

My head in space somewhere

Depression can be beaten

Even though I’m scared

It won’t be forever

Hopefully not too long

I need to feel better

Otherwise I am done

New work

A new start

I used to love you

But even that seems a dream

We can’t even talk

I always make you scream

I stay silent

It’s better that way

I’ll just make it worse

Being there today

I count my words

Just in my head

If it was out loud

I’d cry instead

I don’t remember

How to smile

That is forgot

Forever while

I starve myself

I don’t want to eat

I lose myself

I don’t want to speak

I don’t matter

Anymore

I’ve just become

A depressing bore

I don’t want anyone

I ask to be free

A new start

Try to be happy

New work

Snip snip

5 am arrived

Into the shower

Washed with antiseptic

For what felt like hours

.

My daughter got up

Ate breakfast with me

I enjoyed my hug

Made me happy

.

Taxi arrived

Already stressing

Do I have to pay?

Or keep guessing?

.

Arrive at hospital

130 euro taxi

Fuck a duck

Tring to axe me?

.

Book in now

Taxi lady goes

400 to pay for op

That fucking blows

.

So stressed waiting

Did I prepare everything?

Did I forget

What was that thing?

.

Into another room

Do this do that

Listen well

Focus like a cat

.

Getting naked

Putting on my gowns

Stress exploding

Frown frown frown

.

Stuff in lockers

Last interview

Almost there

Want to spew

.

Taken to be knocked out

So friendly there

Oxygen and tube

I’m scared

.

Felt so heavy

Finally blacked out

Woke up gingerly

Heard someone shout

.

10 o’clock

That was quick

Didn’t take long

To snip my bits

.

A nice nurse checked on me

She had a look

Don’t mind me

Said it was all good

.

Out to the box bedroom

For coffee and cake

Looking around

What a funny place

.

Blood pressure low

Feel I’m gonna faint

I needed to pee

Had to complain

.

Doc comes out

All good to go

Follow the rules

3 months to show

.

Finally back

Taxi lady nice

Drove a bit fast

Still have my life

.

Made lunch

My balls hurt

Hunger solved

Do not exert

.

Relax now

Write for you

I’m calm now

Will have to do

New work

I’ll still have my heart

Why should I change?

When all I do is hurt

Rejection painful beating

Doing it’s beautiful worst

Being pushed onto a path

Land mines scattered round

Never have I though so much

Dancing without sound

And I say to myself fuck it

If I hit one of two

Because this pain I’m feeling

Is less than being with you

So I’ll lose a limb or an organ

But I’ll make a new start

I’ll still keep on going

I’ll always have my heart

New work

For you! No one else

Wake up, pull yourself out of bed

Get up, move that sleepy head

Bathroom, take your morning drugs

Mirror, don’t look at that mug

Kettle, boil that water good

Coffee, strong as it should

Sit down, play on that phone a bit

Sigh, world has gone to shit

Listen, to that silence all around

Can you hear? nothing, all around

Taste, that coffee, as it swirls down

Better, to soften the frown

Still depressed, can’t get out of bed

Move your ass, go get fed

Force yourself, to eat something

Wondering, what will this day bring?

Courage, go get dressed

Yesterday’s clothes, such a wreck

Hair, don’t worry, no one cares

Fuck em, they can all stare

Car keys, out the door quick

Fresh air, feeling sick

Do this, believe in yourself

For you! No one else
