Over-Exaggeration
gray rain Sep 2016
I couldn't be bothered to do it
So left it until I was
Then I was busy with ****
And it started to build up

Then I started drowning
Until my head was covered
And alarm bells started sounding
As everything collapsed around

And I have to start now
Before more damage is done
But I don't know how
I haven't been feeling like writing for a while. School is overwhelming and I have way too much homework that I can't keep up with.

A Sleepless Eternity
gray rain Sep 2016
Tiredness crawls into our eyes as our bodies are sweating from the summer heat.
We wish we could sleep.

We lay or heads on our desks until a quiet tap wakes us up from our semi conscious state.
We stare at the clock and wait.

As we're stuck in this eternity waiting for the tick of the seconds hand but the seconds hand came to a stop.
So the sleepless eternity will continue until someone fixes the clock.
I've been busy with school and have been really tired. Also history lessons are boring AF!

First Day Of School
gray rain Aug 2016
The first day back from the summer break and guys without ties have to buy one by Thursday.

I got away with breaking rules with my hair and how tight my trousers were but what are they actually going to say.

It's still summer so why are we even at school? Everyone is tired and just wants to sleep another day.
Kinda **** but I'm tired and it's not even 7pm yet
gray rain Aug 2016
It's less than twelve hours until school and my homework isn't done
I would say shoot me but it's England so I don't have a gun.
Give me another three days to get myself together
then I'll go into school's eternity (it feels like forever).
It'll be a Saturday and that's fine with me
'cause the rest of the week off would let me get my homework done so I could start year 11 stress free.
I've been doing homework for 2 days literally what the **** is my life.
gray rain Aug 2016
Holiday homework
Is like living a dream
Or a nightmare
It depends what kind you mean.

I had the time to do it
5 weeks to be precise
But I just couldn't be bothered
So I'll do it on the last night.

As I start the reading the instructions
And realize there's no cheat way
I put my pen to paper
And realize its going to be a long day.

And others have another week
But my school starts earlier than the rest
And my pen ran out already
This day is just the best.
Last minute homework before I start year 11 tommorow. I'm not looking forward to being back at school.
gray rain Aug 2016
Forgetting how you felt in the moment makes you forget the memories made.
I haven't been writing much and haven't been happy and all the memories of when I have been happy are gone from my head. I'm kinda stressed from homework and other ****.

Results Day!!!
gray rain Aug 2016
Everyone anxiously opening envelopes
to reveal a set of letters
some cry, some smile
then they go tell everyone.
I got a B in core science if anyone wanted to know.

Exam results tommorow
gray rain Aug 2016
Exam results tomorrow
everyone's ******* bricks
I don't even want to know
I just want to forget about it

Exam results tomorrow
and grade boundaries are low
I guess all the migraines were worth it
I really don't care anymore so...
I get my core science results tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it.

New Outlooks
gray rain Aug 2016
When you begin to understand that life is more than a boat that sails on the calmest seas.

When you begin to understand it's not a perfect world and change won't happen even if you say please.

When you realise the government only want to be wealthy and don't want to support you.

When you realise the prime minister doesn't believe you should have the right you do.

Ignorance is great
knowledge makes you hate
but I'd rather know the truth
than not know what to do
than to trust the companies
and political parties
that don't support me or my rights
who support war and choose to fight.
And if you know and think it's great
then I don't hate you cause to hate would be to join the state.

Change
gray rain Aug 2016
Change is caused by many things
and are bound to happen
some for the good
some for the bad
either way they are part of growth.
Change is like food or sleep
if it doesn't happen you can't grow.
Yet we seem to stop change.
We as a society don't let people change.
We don't let people develop their views.
We don't let people find themselves.
We stop people growing so they can't see who they were supposed to be.
I haven't written anything for the past few days but I believe how I see the world has changed... a lot.

Final Goodbye
gray rain Aug 2016
I guess only funerals are for goodbyes
Because you will definitely never see them again until you reach the other side.
gray rain Aug 2016
Post camp blues are when you spend so
much time with people having fun then
when you leave you find yourself alone.

Usually the people I meet aren't all that
amazing so haven't been that bothered
when we had separated and went home.

But this was different, something was
different. I felt for the first time that I
could be me and they allowed this to be.

I wish it could've gone on longer 'cause
making friends on the last night and
there's so much more I wanted to see.
I think this will be the last of the V Camp section of post camp blues. I have more to say just I wrote 10 poems on it already. Unless people want it to go on.

Caffiene Addict
gray rain Aug 2016
You are my caffeine
You make my heart race
You make me act kinda crazy
But I like the feeling from a caffeine kick
When your not there
My mood is low
My heart is slow
And all I want is something that makes me feel the same.
Even though I'm not addicted to you like I am caffeine
I still feel the same when you're not there.

Coffee
gray rain Aug 2016
Coffee in the morning is the perfect way to start the day.
Why did I choose for a week to start it any other way?
To be honest though coffee ran out quick and there was a cooked of some sort everyday.
gray rain Aug 2016
How do I tell you I like you?
If you may not like me back.
How do I tell you I like you?
If I may not have a chance.

How do I ask if I don't know if you're single?
How do I ask when your so far away?
How do I ask if you may not feel the same?
How do I ask?
So I really like someone from v camp and I know they like girls but I don't know how to tell them considering they live in another city.
gray rain Aug 2016
Why does conformity always have to get in the way of happiness?

I wish V Camp was the real world 'cause people were just accepted for who they are regardless of gender, sexuality, pronouns, religion, race or class.

Or hair cut.
So I got my hair cut on camp and it may not be suitable for school. Which I'm not going to cut it all short but was angry when my dad said I might have to rather than standing up against the school. Even though everyone who has seen it has complimented it and told me to go to their school in Glasgow  if I wasn't allowed it. I live in central England. **** SCHOOL!!!

Beauty Is Individuality
gray rain Aug 2016
Everyone is beautiful in their own individual way
Whether it's the power to be heard with what you say
Or the strength you show when you do not say
There is no definition of beauty or what is beautiful it's just an opinion like everything else

Boundaries
gray rain Aug 2016
Limitations  hinder our chances of doing what we really want so why do we keep setting boundaries?

Instagram updates
a few days after
full of I'm gonna miss you
rather than laughter.

Tierdness sinks in
from a sleep deprived week
and even though the ground was rough
not seeing everyone is peak.
gray rain Aug 2016
Each night there was news
then we'd look at the views
Until we could see the stars of the night
and the fire light
gray rain Aug 2016
They had a perfect face
One that you could stare at for days
They had perfect hair
That was an ocean of different shades of blue.
The person who shaved my hair for me was so beautiful so I wrote them this.
gray rain Aug 2016
Beds are soft, warm and comfy
But friends are fun and loud and energetic
Sleep deprived so a bed is nice
But friends are a better way to spend your time
gray rain Aug 2016
You're so far away.
Well a hour train ride away
and I met you last week
and it's been a quick week.
It's been a few hours and I want to see you again.
I can in my head over and over again
but that's just not the same.
gray rain Aug 2016
Facebook isn't good enough when we spent the week together.
being face to face is so much better than being cities away forever,
I already miss everyone including the sun and the miserable one,
the crazy good dancers in the mosh pit and rave with them was fun.
Even clan duties were never that dull when we would talk and our accent would change
or the time we cooked bacon in secret 'cause there was no other way
gray rain Aug 2016
I miss the bright blue hair that doesn't stand out.
I miss the croaky voices when we all decided to shout.
I miss the midnight raves in all of their madness.
I miss the people being free and just pure happiness.
I miss just the people and how amazing they are.
I miss the walk to the village 'cause we're all too young to drive a car.
I miss the henna on my arms which instantly washed away.
I miss the pride march and queer disco all of which were pretty ******* gay.
I miss the ****** baloons 'cause why the **** not.
I miss the one ******* girl who I didn't tell was hot.
I miss the political jokes and the question time Q&A.;
I miss the jokes about consent and the woodcraft way.
I miss the workshops on politics, on science, on the war (against fracking).
I miss everything including the café and folk suply store.
V Camp finished today and I miss it already.

White History Books
gray rain Aug 2016
In white history books we learn how the epitome of privelage save the day.

In white history books black people trying to free themselves was cast away.

White history books cast aside the past and believe we have a more equal society.

White history books add to the ignorance allowing for race inequality.
I wrote this in a workshop with Zita Holbourne. It's not great but...
