Homeless man alone
Sleeping rough under train bridge
Sad, lost, unloved

Drunken mess haiku
Drunken mess, stumbling
Pouring whisky into glass
Passes out. Waster!
In a dark place
Help, help, I can’t get out….
Why can no one hear me however much I shout?
Help help, I’m deep in a hole…
Please help me, help my soul.
Help help, I’m all alone…
But nobody is there to hear my moan.
I’m black and blue,
But no one knew
What I’m going through
They’ve got no clue!
It’s hurting so bad,
It’s hurting like mad,
It’s making me go
Fucking insane.
Ahhh how I’m screaming
Ahhh how it’s hurting
Hear me now
Hear me loud!
What are you deaf?
You can’t hear me?
I’ll fucking scream
Till I can’t any more.
I need to get out
I can’t go on
It’s just too much
It’s just too tough!
This is my nightmare
This is my life
I’m gonna end it
With this knife!
Tick tock
I am sitting here (Tick Tock)
I am watching the clock (Tick Tock)
I am alone (Tick Tock)
I am at home (Tick Tock)
Why so depressing? (Tick Tock)
Why this lesson? (Tick Tock)
I want to end it (Tick Tock)
To stop that clock (Tick Tock)
Slower and slower (Tick Tock)
Beats the clock (Tick Tock)
For I am calm (Tick Tock)
With bloodied palms (Tick Tock)
I have done it (Tick Tock)
Set myself free (Tick Tock)
Now I see the light (Tick Tock)
My clock has stopped, No Tick Tock
That’s a big mistake
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
Be strong
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
Fight to survive
The stench of them, escapees, days it has been
In the boat, it’s horrific scenes
Piss, sweat, blood and tears
Silence wearily breeding fear
Little water, no food left
Weak pushed overboard, laid to rest
They’ve paid their money to board the boat
It’s a wonder it has stayed afloat
Coming up to land, they see it there
They start to overcome their despair
“Out of the boat” someone cries
Pushed into the water by the other guys
Winded, swallowing water now
You are submerged, pushed down, and how
You try to fight with others around you
All of you battling to breathe too
You hear shouting, just muffled sounds
You feel other people’s bodies all around
You come to the surface and catch your breath
It seems like you have passed the test
You look around in the water near you
Drowned bodies in a sea of death stew
This is the freedom you have seeked
Only for the strong, not the weak
You swim for the shore, as hard as you can
What will you do? What will be your plan?
It’s still so far, so far away
Will you reach it? Get there today?
You push and push, more and more
You start to touch the sea floor
Exhausted, emotional, you reach the land
You feel the ground, the wet sand
You start to cry, you’re an emotional mess
To survive all that, you must have been blessed

It’s so sad
It’s so sad, another attack
It’s so sad, another flashback
It’s so sad, lives are lost again
It’s so sad, family and friends
It’s so sad, innocence stolen
It’s so sad, anger swollen
It’s so sad, hatred felt
It’s so sad, violence dealt
It’s so sad, why does it have to be like this?
Innocent people surely missed

Today I feel better
Today I feel better than yesterday
It is less heavy and I can make my way
One day at a time look after yourself
Think carefully about your mental health
.
Searching for you is a collection of poetry about love, heartbreak and happiness. A raw journey looking at our search in life to find ourselves and that special someone.
It suffocates me
It’s so hard
Weighing me down
My morale is
Making me drown
No matter what
I try to do
It suffocates me
Like super glue
Down my throat
Clogging my nose
No way to stop it
That’s how it goes
