Designed for life

Why have I not been designed for life?
Why do I suffer eternal strife?
Defined by chains, whilst
Guilt undermines
I knock myself down
I fall to the ground
I grunt, I stand up
Again and again
I mind, and it matters
My mind is in tatters
My best foot to the fore
I open my mouth
Right about now, it's wrong
Laughing and crying
Oh my, oh my, oh sighing
Why do I suffer eternal strife?
Why have I not been designed for life?

Fred

Oh Fred
Oh Fred
You said
You said
What dread
What dread
Oh dead?
Oh dead?

Away

"I do

you"
I heard you say.
But you don't

me.
You ran away.

I'm not all that

I look in the mirror
and what do i see?
No reflection of me
No hand reaching down
Just emptiness
A void I cannot avoid
Devoid of meaning
Not a ditto of hope
How will I cope?
I call out but no one hears
I call out through the tears.

Imagine...

Imagine being part of a self-fulfilling prophecy that wasn’t true.

What’s up with Whatsapp?

What’s up with Whatsapp?
I hear you cry
What’s up with Whatsapp?
Oh me, oh my
What’s up with Whatsapp?
I wish I knew
What’s up with Whatsapp?
I haven’t a clue

Hanging around

Am I bothered?
I'm at a loss
Am I bothered?
Nailed to this cross

Music night

♪ ♫ ♪

Friday night is music night,
Or so the saying goes.
Friday night is music night,
Listening. The radio glows.

Black II

The walls and ceilings feel as if they are closing in on you
You can’t function rationally
Laziness pervades
There is no future
All is black
Self loathing seeps from every pore
All is lost
There is no love
A fog clouds the eyes
Storms have eyes
Confusion rains
Torrential reigns
Manacled to morbid grotesque melancholy
