TIME

I'm hiding,
I don't know when I'm coming out,
But just now I don't want to know,
Another part of me argues,
I need to come out,
I need to know when I’m coming out,
I live in the real world and time's passing by,
But the rest of me is paralysed,
Stuck and hoping that time is not there,
That time is,
As I am,
Stopped.

 

SAFE BEHIND MY WALL

I am here behind my wall,
Not safe from the world,
But it is safe from me,
Ignore that oddball in the corner,
Maybe it will go away,
Someday it may go somewhere,
Keep it away in mind, maybe it will follow,
Maybe I'll have visitors,
There for curiosity,
Then they leave with new jokes,
Of the odd ball in the corner,
Talk and laughter surround me,
Yet silence meets my pleas,
The wall is getting old,
But it only seems to grow,
Let's hope it doesn't follow,
When the oddball leaves,
maybe the wall makes the oddball,
Maybe the oddball makes the wall.
Maybe every ignorance adds a brick,
Maybe

 

FAREWELL

Farewell my friend

as you find your new path

I wish you well for your future

and hope that it lasts

 

Farewell my friend

Good luck with your new life

and your new shell

 

Farewell my friend

for I shall be left behind

to worry from afar

to be contacted as a token

and forgotten

as an old life often is

 

Farewell my friend

 

IN SEARCH OF SLEEP

Listen to the raindrops
As they scatter through the Night
Listen to the motors
As they purr past lamppost light
Listen to the bumps and creaks
of people who wander the house
and listen to the faint voices
from outside in the night
Know that these shall carry on
Long after your sleep has come
and find comfort in the silence
which holds so many sounds

 

STAND BY ME

Stand by me
as I look to my future
stand by me
as I face up to my past
stand by me
when I lack the energy to stand myself
and hold me by the hand
stand by me
and tell me everything will be alright
stand by me
and lie
stand by me
and help me through
until I'll be alright
show me where I'm going wrong
and how I should be
but for now
all I ask
is that you come and stand by me

 

PICK AND CHOOSE

Pick and Choose
live a lie
confront and find out
Pick and choose
continual worrying
but a chance at happiness
Pick and Choose
Believe what you want
live in the possibilities
glass half full
or water to wine
Pick and choose
It's hard to know
what to do
and whether it's worth it
and whether it's the beginning
of the end
or a new chance
at making it all better
 

 

OPEN YOUR EYES
Magazines, books and Advertising
representation of false selves
putting forward views not believed in
to be believed in
asking for advice
to continue with false images
to contend with them
to superficialise a gender
picked up for comedy by those who know
bibles to those who are yet to learn
I call for a nation
to see for what they are
the representation of false selves
to call for free thinking
to stand up for the individuals
and represent your true selves.

 

LOVE

I thought that he might love me
I couldn't be more wrong
I hoped he wouldn't hurt me
this shattered a little while on
I looked into his eyes and saw
a vision of him and me
of happiness and 'couple-dom'
and things that now won't be
I thought that he might love me
as it was how I felt for him
but he just broke my heart instead
so for now I'll wander on.

 

SUMMERTIME BLUES

Travel Away
From your summertime blues
Explore a new world
As you travel right through
Glimpse at a town
for a moment or two
then wonder where next
as it glimmers out of view
Travel Away
From your summertime blues
Explore a new world
As you travel right through.

 

LONG TIME COMING

It's been a long time coming
that you stepped into my world
that you saw what I am living through
that you not ignore what you see
It's been a long time coming
that you saw exaggeration left behind
that you realised this was life
and that this is what you were going to find
It's been a long time coming
but you wouldn't know till you saw
till you chose to spend each day with me
and learn what I could do
It's been a long time coming
but soon you'll understand
the words will have more depth to them
and you will by me stand
It's been a long time coming,
but I'm glad to see it here
I'm tired of just waiting
and I want you here with me.
