Rest in peace

.

I feel so trapped in all that I do

6 feet under, no way through

I see the light, through the cracks

Other than that, it’s pitch black

I can’t breathe, no air left

When will I take, my last breath?

I claw with my fingers blunt till the end

Searching for help, in need of a friend

This coffin won’t open, closed from outside

Waves are crashing, soil subsides

Deeper my box falls, hurtling away

I will rest in peace, better that way

Self doubt

Why do we seek acceptance in everything we do?

Sometimes I wonder if we even have a clue

We go from day to day just getting by

Living out our day throughout our own lies

Sometimes we reflect, a little too much

Sometimes we don’t, how much is enough?

Is it really acceptance that we seek?

Is it really self doubt that creeps?

But our biggest fear in all of this

The worst fact, that mustn’t be missed

We fear rejection above all else

It hits us hard, our mental health

Until we can’t go on, it eats us alive

Because with self doubt, we can never thrive

Beautiful butterfly

.

The beautiful butterfly

Floating by

Flapping its wings

No care why

To patter in the flowers

Nectar sugar high

Now it has its energy

To take off and fly

The beauty of the dance

Courting in the wind

Oh it has me mesmorized

How long has it been?

Did you know its blood is cold?

It likes to warm in the sun

Basking beauty at its best

The contest it has won

James Lott Jr you have been roasted

.

I know a guy

Funny as hell

James lott jr

Out of his shell

.

In the jungle

His garden in LA

He wants a roast

Time to play

.

It’s hot over there

A lot of sun

He works so much

He’s lost his buns

.

He’s a leftie

Weird is that

He don’t like scissors

He likes to act

.

He sings to himself

Too old too fat

What a sick beat

Too loud too black

.

Masked singer is in town

Where has he gone

They unmask the winner

James has won

.

He is a taurus

He’s always sipping tea

The cool cuddly hunk

Happy as can be

.

Now in his garden

Tending his flowers

He’s got green fingers

What super powers

.

What did I say

About this super man

Look at him jump

He is the man!

Saving the snake in the flames

A man saw a snake

Surrounded by flames

He tried to help it

Bitten and in pain

.

The man dropped the snake

Back into the fire

He looked around him

His courage to be admired

.

He found a metal bar

The snake wrapped around

He placed the bar down

Carefully to the ground

.

A passer by saw his act

Questioning why he helped

“The snake’s instinct is to bite”

“But I just had to help”

.

Ups and downs

I don’t understand

Why my emotions are so strong

Like being prodded with a stick

What is going on?

One moment I am up

I am ok with the day

I don’t need it to end

I do not feel afraid

But then there are the downs

And they really mess me up

Looking always for the escape

Cause I want it so much

I try to control my emotions

To get on top of them

But sometimes they’re stronger than me

It drives me round the bend

Why is it so hard?

To get along with life

We always just seem to cope

Trying not to subside

The roses wilting

The roses wilting

Over the side of the glass

Sensed they had given up

Could not forever last

My sickening feeling

Inside of me

Sadness seeping out

Wanting to be freed

They look so tired

As if it’s the end

Flowers to one side

No way to mend

As I gaze down

Studying the floor

A tear leaves my eye

I can’t do this anymore

Grabbing the stalks

Piercing my hand

Throwing with force

Don’t care where they land

As I collapse to the floor

Feeling sorry for myself

I have given up

I need to find help

Isolation isolation isolation

Isolation isolation isolation

Go mess yourself

Isolation isolation isolation

It’s my mental health

.

How long will it be

Until I shall be free

Stuck in my house

With my big damn mouth

Oh my what glee

.

There’s only so much I can do

200 bog rolls oh poo

Oh why’d I buy so much

Oh my I’ve had enough

.

So I’ll sing my song

You better sing along

And if you don’t

You probably wont

Isolation for you
