The stars disappear as the buildings grow
The world overheats and melts the snow
The land was once green but now it is grey
Soft plastic kills the fish in the bay
The clothes in the shops are made of junk
The men at the pub are getting drunk
The mask blocks my mouth from the viruses reach
We stand 1.5 metres apart
The fire on the mountain is raging strong
The birds no longer sing their song
The winds come quicker, sooner, hotter
Near the woolies in town I see a squatter
The words that I hear are rough and mean
The eyes of the children are locked on screens
The algorithms grab us and pull us in
Put the money in the pokies until you win
It is time for the world to change
Before the darkness falls

Fear
Confusion
Then tears
Heart pounding as I ran
Inside
But also away
Far far far far far away
Is he gone where is he why STUPID
Who was it why why why why STUPID
I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM
Some idiot in their dumb car
He was only eight
I needed him
He was my brother
He was my friend
He was my therapist
He was my cat.
And now he lives among the roses

Once the river of words stood still
I sat and glanced out the windowsill
Wondering what you were doing
Watching summer storms brewing
It was silence but never bad
Because of the connection that we had
The quiet was okay
But I still spoke to you in my head
Now we talk again once more
I realise I missed you, for
You are important to my life
And you stand beside me in my strife

They tell me to breathe
But no air comes
They tell me to go outside
But it feels so far away
They tell me to call a friend
But who would want to talk to me
I breathe until the oxygen fades
I walk until my legs collapse
Instead of talking
I write
poems
songs
letters
Ten thousand words that hold my stories
and my dreams
Ten thousand words that I write
and will never say
So here they are
My ten thousand words
As free as a blue butterfly
Or they will be
Now I am a caterpillar
Still learning to grow
But one day I will be beautiful
Just wait and see

Her eyes are blue or maybe green
The prettiest colour to ever be seen
As bright as the sun and soft as wool
Her hair is long and coffee brown
Flowing, bouncing up and down
Drifting free as Medusa's snakes
Her voice it twinkles melodic and sweet
Notes falling perfectly to the beat
When she sings I could listen forever
Her mind is calm and always clear
If I could, I’d hold her dear
And never let go
But I cant.
I think I love her

My blood
My heart
I am not made of water and skin
No
The music runs in me
Deep into my bone and marrow
A constant song
Happy
Sad
Loud.
It is always loud
Loud loud loud loud
Loud loud loud loud
LOUD
But soothing
Like a beat to a song I have heard once
Tangible but not quite there
And the key of my song
It changes
Maybe C when I am balanced or
A relative major when I am high
But its my song
Always

Heating
Melting
Burning
Gone.
Is this what we are waiting for?
Is this the story of our future?
You say that it's under control
but only you have control
Not me
Not the Earth
Money and oil
Thats all that you see
Blind to the cries of the land and sky
Burning
Heating
Melting
Still here.
Waiting for the world to change
Waiting to be heard

Why is it, ocean
That you speak to me
Not in English
But yet,
I understand you
Telling me
You hear me
Whispering your secrets as I dance
You sing with me
Our voices echoing
I feel free,
Alive
And I don't care who else is here
All I care about is you.
My ocean.
No matter how i feel,
Your power releases me
And I cry
Not tears of pain,
But of joy
And I'm disguised by the salt water
As it mixes with my tears
You have helped me to grow
Helped me learn
Like a parent,
A kind friend.
I love you forever,
My ocean,
And I miss you forever,
Too

Each day of summer I sit and wait
The ocean swishing around my feet
As it grows nearer to the date
The date the whales return
Each year they travel away from home
Perhaps looking for somewhere better
A place where the shore I loved to comb
The waste that litters the whales’ shores
As they leave I watch them sing
Wishing I was as joyful and free
For they need not one certain thing
The whales, the travellers I love
They leave me with a silent sky
And as I wave I sing to them
With hints of sad I say goodbye
Not knowing when they will return
So now the summer has now come
And brings with it the whales
Their songs echo and birdsong hums
For now, the traveller is back.

Tears stream down my face
I sob in silence.
Nobody really sees me
They see a ghost
A happy girl
A hopeful girl
A dead girl
She's gone now.
Now all I am is a shadow.
They only see the surface of
The sea
The waters filled with
Sharks
Darkness
Confusion
Fear.
Because I'm the fish and the shark
I try to escape
But the only thing to escape from
Is myself.
They don't see me.
My hurt
My scars
My brain
All they see is a ghost
