Strong

.

Out to get me, each one of you

Your words burn, so so true.

I try I try, to give my soul

Not enough, dig your hole

What do you want? Do you want blood?

Cut my veins, that your lust?

Haters honest, dig in your knife

Twist your blade, take my life.

Thick skin I have, it may still hurt

I refuse, do your worst!

Power, spirit, will not be beat

Defy all, only feat

You may not love what I have done

This is life, not just fun

I’m here to stay, my pen, my sword

I will write, heed my words

Newborn

.

Time slow, painful, how long it must have been

Waiting for them, all this new and obscene.

Hours pass by, comfort never ever so bad

Until the time, no return now, it’s mad.

Unknown future, as they welcome one more

The tears and emotion, she is so raw.

Pityful noise, defenseless as can be

Tiny, covered in white, is now so free.

Heart to warm skin, feeling of her, serene

Slumber to her warm breast, you can now dream.

The argument

.

It’s brewing

Feel it surround

Enveloping two

Go to town

Get it out

In the air

Scream out loud

Lay it bare

Love, hate

Rage with might

Piercing words

Fateful fright

Throw everything

Across the room

Self implode

Hearts go boom

My cheat

.

You don’t mean it, to hurt me

But you do it so well

I know you’ve been with her

You have her smell

Go on, wash off your guilt

And then under the quilt

My dirty prolific liar

You deserve to be on fire

You burn me, deceptive rat

I have to accept and live with that

I’m not sexy enough, we never do it

To make love or even play a bit

You prefer your toy I’m sure she’s young

Beautiful, not like me, we never have fun

What happened to us? Did we just grow old?

When did you decide with your cards to fold?

Maybe I’m to blame? Didn’t do what you liked

Maybe that’s why our sex life stopped it’s spike

But you come back to me every night

You creep around, ever so light

It is just easier to continue, just carry on

Why change what we have? Nothing wrong

I couldn’t be without you, even if you mess around a bit

I know, I’m not stupid, you can be a dick

Sleep my love, snore away next to me

You’re in my bed, my cheat, I agree

Jealousy

.

Jealousy

It’ll kill you you know

Green, invasive,

Who likes green?

You love them, no?

Give them their space

Space to roam free

To look for better?

To look for someone else?

Oh it’s eating you inside

Eating you alive

More powerful than your anger

Your anger

Your anger

Jealousy can be like a disease

It’s unhealthy to be displeased

To make someone you love

Trapped like a pet dove

They are a human being

It is you that is not seeing

What you are doing

And you’ll only push them away

Your love, remember the first day

The day you two met

Held hands, wept

Cuddled close

And what do you know?

It’s not like it was

Because you do not trust

Your untrust becomes lust

You are a couple, give them space

Just a little bit of grace

To your one and only love

Because you don’t want them to have enough

And flee from you and your jealous ways

You might just find yourself amazed

Life

Stubborn

.

Am I stubborn?

Stubborn am I

I dig my heels in

Like a rake to the eyes

I know my mind

I know what I want

I speak my truth

And it isn’t a front

My principles are there

I will not budge

Think what you like

I don’t give a fudge

My opinion matters

I won’t accept anything else

I am somewhat selfish

And I think of myself

Is it a pitfall?

My characteristic laid bare

It is the way I am

My stubbornness, beware

Illiterate

.

I am a dunce

If you want to call it that

I cannot read or write

Why I have the dunce’s hat

.

I’m different, maybe

If you like

I’ll have to get through it

I’ll have to fight

.

Exams, well I failed

Highest I got was a C

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough

No qualifications for me

.

The day my son noticed

Mum read better than me

The day I revealed

This flaw I had in me

.

You see, I was not stupid, nor lazy

No, it wasn’t the case

But the kids would laugh

It was out of place

.

Dyslexia, disabilities,

Names that we hear

Spelling, grammar, hell

These are words that I fear

.

I may be different

It doesn’t mean I cannot succeed

I am proud to be me

Mark my words, take heed
