1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Alone

I feel so alone

Here, sat here

Nothing but my beer

In my hands

Thinking about ..

Nothing

Nothingness,

Pointlessness

Emptyness

Swig my beer

Swallow it down

Wallowing

Self pitied mess

Same clothes

Odour rising

Bottle caps filling floor

Smash bottle

Into tv

Raged

Glass splitting

Beer spilling

Tears

Flowing

Down my cheeks

To the floor

I am alone

I can’t take it

Anymore…

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Scrub it out! Now!

.
That mark that’s there, been bugging me

That little grubby mark, shape of a penny

I don’t clean me, hate cleaning things

I’m too lazy to even take out the bins

I’m doing something, tomorrow, maybe

Ain’t doing cleaning, me I’m free

It’s getting to me, that bloody mark

I’m gonna do it this cleaning lark

Block it out, life pushed away

Shit happens, clean it today.

Get the cream out and the brush

That’s not so hard now, what’s the fuss

Pissed off with this, pissed off with that

Scrub that wall bitch, whiten that black

World getting you down, all against you

Music full blast, listen to Muse

Plug in baby, psycho, madness

Scrub it away, all that sadness

Prodigy now, twisted firestarter

Bleeding ears, no need to barter

Throwing things away to drum and bass

Looking in mirror, wanna punch that face

Feeling down, no, adrenaline pumping

Screaming out mentally, heart thumping

I’m gonna clean you, clean you now

Scrub you off this planet, POW!

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day · 1. Searching for you

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

New work

Have I become invisible?

Why can I not touch you?

Where did it all go wrong?

Why does nothing happen?

What is this song?

The days go by

The months rack up

Have I become invisible?

What is this love?

If I do not exist

Then why do we do this?

Put a stop to this torment

With a poison kiss

Forever searched love

In all its perfection

Maybe I will find it

In my resurrection

1. Searching for you

I will find you !

We have been confined

Unable to help

Searching for you

As you have no-one else

Finally I know

You have been taken ill

But your whereabouts unknown

A very bitter pill

I know now

That it will not be too long

I will find answers

And what has been going on

You will know you have someone

That cares about you

Because in this life

We do what we have to do

1. Searching for you

Your glistening tear

Your glistening tear

Running down your cheek

Your silent words

You would never speak

I would wonder why

What i had done

To start this reaction

How it begun

To say I’m sorry

To make it stop

To ask forgiveness

To turn back the clock

But now you sob

Your tears overflow

You point to the door

It’s time to go

.

1. Searching for you

A smile tells many stories

Can you see my smile?

Can you read my eyes?

Am I a book to you?

Will you question why?

Am I happy?

Is it bliss?

Am I ecstatic?

Or really pissed?

Maybe I am crying

Hurting deep inside

So lost in my life

I can only despise

Maybe I just don’t care

Given up on all

Nothing in this life

Keeps me enthralled

Maybe this smile is sincere

You’re reading me too much

Am I content as can be?

Am I in love?
