Limbo, ahhhhhh!

I’m in limbo, frustration constantly

Knot in my stomach waiting impatiently

Awaiting the days just to trickle past

Feeling like a novel, feeling, well, alas

Annoyed, biting into my hands

Each meal I eat increasingly bland

Ahhhhhhh I want to scream would it help?

If I punch myself and make myself yelp?

Tell me please I need to know

Why this constant suffering, this woe?

Trying to read, play, sleep even clean

Lol the last time I did, the floor actually gleaned

Motivation zero, what is even the point?

Nothing will make it better, not even a joint

What will I do? What choice do I have?

Just bloody sit here and hope it will not last

Think about …

Have you ever took the time to watch

To observe everyone, never that much?

We are all in a trance we do not reflect

People’s actions all aimlessly direct

How did you get to work? Automatic?

I bet you hadn’t even thought about it?

Did you change gears use the brakes?

Check in your mirror look at a lake?

Caught up in the daily grind

So much just going on behind

Pay attention otherwise the days will pass by

You won’t even see them go you will only sigh

Tick tock goes the clock hear it in your ears?

Draining sands dwindling, eating at your fears

Expired, passed it’s best, rotting away

Forget tomorrow, think about today!

My new book “Rhyming poetry to change your day” is now available in paperback. Available for free until 4th January!

Peel back my skin

Disect me like a butterfly

Read me like a book

Take my final sting like i am a bee

As i gasp with my final breath i took

.

Passionate as the week is long

To never quit until the task is done

To improve with every mistake I make

To collapse from when all is won

.

To inhale madness like it’s oxygen

Filling entirely my lungs

To bounce off the walls 

Just to exercise some fun

.

You think you know me now

From observing afar

Peel back my skin look inside

And reopen my scar!

They lie!

They lie to us

To our face

We listen

We give them space

.

They control us

Tell us everything 

We want 

Thus

.

We follow

Like sheep

Ready for slaughter

Without even a peep

.

Didn’t mother say

Never trust a stranger and

Callous lies lead to

Sinking in quick sand

.

Do we trust them?

Do we follow them?

Have we got a choice?

Does it ever end?

……

You tell me?

To be harassed #metoo

.

You know what you need to do

If you want to succeed

Succumb to me

And my sexual greed

I will make you famous

Do what I ask

Fulfill my pleasures

That is your task

Look at you

So innocent and young

Just a little massage

Let’s have some fun

The world is such a disgusting place

That I will abuse

My place of money and power 

Until you will accuse

That is years down the line

I have all the time I need

You are nothing for the moment

I will make you bleed

Salty pleasure

In jail

In jail

Rotting soul

Sinned society

Achieved your goal

Years go by

Serving time 

Have you regrets?

For your crime?

What did you do?

Are you proud?

Do you crave it?

To shout it aloud

Did you hurt someone?

Someone you love?

Are you missed?

Now that you’re judged

Ghost town

Ghost town

Where are they?

Are the kids

Coming out to play?

All built up

Deserted now

All that’s left

Is to bring the plough

Politics gone mad

Shops, businesses gone

Wealth dried up

Everything is wrong
