Tormented Dad

I’m sick of being nice

I’ve taken so much crap

My rage has been building up

I’m gonna use a bat!

.

Bad luck follows me about

Followed by it wasn’t meant to be

Doors just close on my face

This Shit always happens to me!

.

Rejection, bollocks,

I’ve had enough

I’m Fucking good

But can’t get any luck

.

Weekends working,

This has got to change

My kids do not deserve this

I’m going deranged!

.

Abused outside the court room

Keep my calm

Oh how I would of liked

To of caused harm

.

But nice old me

Said nothing like I do

And got walked over

Like a trampled poo

.

Could of been nasty

Stuck in the knife

That is luckily not me

Affecting someone else’s life

.

I thought two steps ahead

Of the knock on effect

Overall who would suffer

From my move to dissect

.

As I believe

It is not for me to say

I know that life will present

All her nasty ways

.

And although maybe I’m bitter

My hatred so strong

I’ve always tried

Just to get along

.

For the sake of our boy

Who deserves none of this

For all your selfish actions

Even when you take the piss

.

I will be civil

Even though I can’t stand you

Your bullshit will show finally

And your transparency will shine through

A little one

.

What would we do for them?

With their continuing innocence

Their regard always sweet 

Always have their confidence

.

Sometimes shy not for long

Until they’ve assessed it all

That inquisitive behavior constantly

More than us even though they’re small

.

Testing all the time 

To try and make us scream

A reaction is all they need

Your cracking at the seams

.

Jealousy is interesting 

how they react

Another child comes along

Parents love still intact

.

A little cuddle here and there

So soft like it’s a dove

Their insecurities shining through

Cause they need to feel loved

depression · family · happy · Life · love

Zombie trance

My brain is elsewhere

My body, I don’t know yet

Headaches, migraines

All the time you can bet

I am a robot

No, maybe a zombie

Trance endlessly

Lost as can be

Sometimes at work

I get dizzy, it’s hard

I wait to pass out

And hit the floor hard

Pills, oh often

Each day, everyday

Need it for the teething

My baby’s bad day

One day ends

Next begins

I feel like crap

But it’s me who’ll win

Face of change

.

​Wake up, feel different, I feel sick

Run to bathroom, vomit every bit

Rise to the mirror, wash my face

What the hell, what’s this face!

My hair, my eyes I fall down

I get back up, what is this frown?

I’ve got muscles, je suis beau

I’m taller with a bronzed glow

My insecurities, my patheticness

They are gone, have I been blessed?

I run out the room onto the landing

My mum’s at the top of the stairs standing

” Mum mum look at me, look at my face”

She can’t hear me, what is this place?

I put my hand on her, turn around please

“turn up the heating darling, I felt a breeze”
