The worlds ment to be closer
more connected
Social media was meant to make us new friends
so why do I feel so lonely.
I have neighbors to the left
and some to the right
I have a family living within my sight
but no one that gets me, no one that truely makes me feel a little less lonely

Never Changing
Craig Harrison Sep 2015
In the shadows he waits
watching
looking down upon the world
judging
giving us everything
but taking it away

We **** and keep on killing
we harm and keep on harming
we destroy and keep on destroying
never changing

We were not made in Gods image
we were made in the Devils
the species never changed
never will
So in the shadows he waits
watching
looking down upon the world
judging
giving us everything
but taking it away
all the time
We **** and keep on killing
we harm and keep on harming
we destroy and keep on destroying
never changing

Screaming voices
Craig Harrison Apr 2015
A million voices screaming out in pain
not one of them is mine.
Each muscle weighing more than a plane
not able to move, traped in this uncontrollable body
listening to the millions of diffent voices screaming
but no sound comes out, it never does.

Once, along time ago, one of the voices was mine
it was the strongest, the loudest
when I spoke the other voices fell silent
but no more.
What changed?
I don't know but as the days tick on by
I can tell that my voice is dying


STOP, Don't talk to him!!
Don't listen to anything he has to say.
He had his chance and he blew it
now it is mine, my voice is the loudest and all other voices will fall

If when we die we go to heaven
what would this paradise look like

lakes of our favorite drinks
a big guy in a golden chair

If when we die we meet God
staring into his eyes what would you see

If when we die we go to Heaven

You did what
Craig Harrison Feb 2015
If you cheat on me
I'll get you back
I'll pour hot wax into your *** crack
watch you scream and cry in pain
I'll break your legs and leave you lame.

**** that ***** and kiss that *****
I'll leave you mangled in a ditch.
You said you loved me
but you made me cry
I hope you go and die.
Cheat on me
I'll get you back
smash your Xbox into a million pieces
and clean your car with the dogs feces.
so now you've lost me, I'm finally free
don't you ever dare text me.
Tried something different here (Sorry for the swearing)

I wanted to make this from the point of view of a woman that as been cheated on and how angry it makes a person feel.

I have never cheated on a person and I never will but I know how it feels to be cheated on.

Stereotypes
Craig Harrison Jun 2016
The world is full of stereotypes, not that all are bad
I don't agree with them, a person is a person not a type
but their's a saying about writers, writers are addicts
drugs, alcohol, gambling. What's your addiction?

Those who choose to write, those with the calling
we're said to be depressed, we use addictions as a way to escape
from the clutches of a world we can only change in our writing.

As a writer, covering these stereotypes seems like a course in myself
I've been depressed, I've gambled, I wish to change the world.
A stereotype or just a person living in the 21st century.
Not sure where I wanted to go with this, seemed ok when I started but didn't know how to finish it, anyway I hope you enjoyed.

Taught me
Craig Harrison Oct 2015
You taught me to be kind
you taught me to forgive
you taught me to use my mind

so upon the day that I die
when ever that may be
I want you to know that I spent my life
doing what you taught me

Their will be a time when I no longer exist
a day where I am buried
but I want you to know that I love you
Dad, Mom and my amazing brother
Ever since I was a kid I have always known that one day I will die, I have always accepted that. Even if one day they are able to make us live for ever, I know in my heart that their will be a day when I choose I want to leave.

I don't know when my final day will be, it might be today or billion years from now, so the purpose of this poem was kinda a reminder to my family that I love them. So if I am to die suddenly, this poem will be my leaving note.

Dear Dad
We've had some good times and bad times, like most people. One thing that I admire about you is you ability to forgive (especially me) I guess that is where I take my ability to forgive from. At the moment of writing this I am 28 years old and living with you for my life as been amazing, even if we do argue occasionaly, but good kind of arguing, you make me think and question things, any person would be lucky to have a dad like you.. My happiest memory, there as been many but I would have to say, the first time I ever won chess agaisn't you, you never let me win, but I didn't give up and when I won it meant so much more.. I know life hasn't been the best friend to you but I do hope that the next life is everything you wish. I love you.

Dear Mom
Hi mom, like dad, we have had good times and bad times, but every family does I guess. Some good times that I remember are playing monopoly, I love that game. I am grateful for the times when you have given me a lift to places and when a few years ago you loaned me some money. I hope that one day soon, you get the things in life that you wish for. I love you.

Dear Brother
Hello, boooooooo, I'm a ghost, lol. (If you reading this after I die) if not then I will see you the weekend. I have no problem admiting this, I love you more than anyone else on this planet, not only are you my brother but I consider you my best friend and I hope and pray that in our next lives that we continue to be friends. I might not have been the best brother growing up and for that I am deeply sorry for. Nearly all my life I have felt alone, but you made me realise that I wasn't truely alone. I enjoy when we talk, I look forward to when we visit each other and I hate it when we fight. I love you and I will always love you.

To everyone else that as read this, I hope that all your wishes come true, I realise that you don't know me, I try to express who I am in my poems but one thing that you should know about me is that I generally do love each and every life form. (You, cats, dogs, mice, aliens, everything)

I hope that I will have many many many more years left and I hope that they will be fun, but I also have to accept that anything can happen so I wanted something out there that I had written to express how I feel.

Thank you for reading and where every you are reading from I hope you are having fun and enjoying the day.

Colors of the rainbow
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
As I look outside I see the colors of the rainbow
The red of a beautiful sunset
The yellow of the sun light burning through the sky
The green of trees
Blue clear skies
Fields of violet, fields of lavender
Pumpkins growing a beautiful orange
Skies full of indigo buntings
Outside my window I see the colors of the rainbow

Certain things
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
A long time ago I learned there were certain things I couldn't do
I always thought if someone else could do something then so could I.
I was wrong
I could never swim the English channel because I have a fear of drowning
I could never be as confident as some
I could never ask the nice girl out
I understand I'm shy and lack the confidence that stops me from doing certain things.

I don't like to give up, if I set my sight on something I usually complete it
but there are certain things that make me give up
certain things I can't do
I can't do more than my best, it's impossible but for some it's not enough
I can be the greatest friend to someone but never anything more
I lack the confidence, I lack the necessary skills, abilities, personality to do certain things.

I don't like to give up but there are certain things I just can't do, so giving up might be my only option left no matter how much I wish I don't.

I can not wait
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
I've never waited so long in my life
9 months since the day you told me
the last time I was this happy was the day you became my wife
and I haven't been able to stop smiling since
I can't wait till the moment of birth
to see if it's a boy or a girl
I can not wait
I can not sleep
The moment is near
I'm going to be a dad
and you a mom
my parents
your parents
will become grandparents
I can not wait
This was written on behalf of a friend of mine who is about to become a dad.

Congratulations Steven and Katie

Greatest battle
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
So many battles you have won
but sadly you won't win this one.
The battle that we will all face one day
THE BATTLE OF TIME

Forget the tyrants and the terrorists
the greatest enemy to our survival is time.
From the moment of our births, we are entered into this battle
THE BATTLE OF TIME

We know so little, but we know it is meant to be
Time will come and time will go
but the memories shall not
time will continue to flow

War after war, billions after billions
but the war we should be fighting
the battle we should be entering
THE BATTLE OF TIME

Common arguments
Craig Harrison May 2014
Common arguments like which decade is better
the 90's, 80's, 70's or the 60's
each had its advantages and each had its disadvantages
good things and bad things
the same can be said for the 00's and the 10's
I'm a 90's the same decade that we got the TV show Friends

Common arguments like which football team is better
Arsenal, United, City, Chelsea or Liverpool
each club had its chances, had their time
We stood by them through the good times and the bad
the same goes for every other team
I'm a Liverpool fan, the 2005 Champions League final was like a dream

Common arguments like which *** is better
Male or Female
Each are equal but have more sexes to compete with these days
we might hate our opposites at times but we love them really

Common arguments like which country is better
U.S.A, England, Russia, China or any other country
We all have our problems, we all have our good points
Leaders might argue and fight but social networks have connected us
Our leaders might not realise but we have more in common with each other than we ever knew
we are all united in our goals and our dreams
that is a statement that is true

Common arguments some times go to far
people get hurt
one word fixes most arguments
"SORRY"
Not my best poem but I hope you like it

Social
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
When I was a kid we played over the park
climbing trees, building tree houses
playing football, sometimes gutters
challenge strangers to a game
Tag, bulldog, hopscotch, pogs and more
paper ball fights, pillow fights, play fights
when I was a kid we made friends and stayed in touch
playing outside

When I was a teenager we played against our friends
websites, bebo, myspace, msn, yahoo, chatrooms
listened to new music, bands we never heard off
photos all the time plastering the web
when I was a teenager we played games like snake
trying to hold on to our child mind as we got older

In my early 20's, things changed
Myspace no more, we moved to Facebook
Selfies, more selfies and even more selfies
Youtube, Twitter, so many ways to make friends
stay in touch

Edging closer to late 20's
Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder, Whats app, Vine
so many ways to make friends
nearly 30 years, I've experienced so many ways to remain social

I miss those days, climbing the trees
because I could
running without a care in the world
no worries, to problems, favorite teachers, best friends
so many ways to be social
I had a way I wanted this to turn out in my head, well It's safe to say I failed, I hope you like it but if not I'll understand.. Thanks for reading

Struggle
Craig Harrison Jul 2015
I've thought about it
but chose to stay
questioning everyday
how can I live in a world that tortures animals
be part of a race that kills our fellow Earthlings
Part of me dies, part of me cries and part of prays
but all of me wishes I could stop this cruelty
punish those that do harm
the idea of Hell was designed for people that ****.

Life is life
it deserves to live
it deserves to be free
it deserves to be happy
life deserves to live
if their is a God
then I beg you give us the power
give us the power to stop this cruelty
I struggle to live in a world that tortures animals
I can't stand been part of a race that kills our fellow Earthlings

Guilty
Craig Harrison Jan 2014
Like life eating food
you eat away at me
more painful than a gun shot
insane enough to rip out hair

They call you guilt
but I call you my enemy
You never let me sleep
always there eating away at me
like life eating food

I beg and and I regret
but I cannot forget
Until the day I die I will say I'm sorry
but so much guilt eating away at me

I'M SORRY

I thought you loved me
Craig Harrison Feb 2015
I remember the day you looked into my eyes
when you told me you loved me
but after your actions, I find myself questioning
did you ever really love me.

The day I introduced you to my family
the day I asked you to marry me
It feels like only yesterday
I thought we loved each other
SO HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME

My mind is full of so many thoughts
I'm sad, angry and disappointed
but my heart is telling me that I still love you
so tell me, how can I ever forgive you
YOU CHEATED ON ME
As far as I am aware I have not been cheated on but a friend of mine did and it is his story that gave me the idea for this.

95 years, a long life you had seen
Maybe not the best but better than most
You won the Presidential medal of freedom and the Nobel peace prize
Sadly today, the world cries.

You will be missed by so many
and are known by all
the impact you made on this world was nothing small
so many obstacles but you found a way
your determination inspires many people
that is why the 5th of December will always be a very sad day

You were great maybe the best
now it is time for you to finally rest

You changed the world and made it better
Rest In Peace, NELSON MANDELA

Like a movie

I ask you, why can't life be like a movie
Why can't we
Love like a romance
laugh like a comedy

Live like a leading star
die like a supporting role
Sing like a musical
Travel like an adventure
be remembered like a documentary

So I ask why can't life be like a movie
Some of you may notice this sounds familiar, that is because I created a poem similar to this called Life like a movie, but while I was reading it back I wanted to make a few changes so the previous version as been deleted for this remake.

Escape
Craig Harrison Oct 2014
It happened so fast
the blade slicing through my skin like butter.
It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would
but I had just taken painkillers, as many as I could.
The blood rushing out of my wrist like a fast paced river
my eyes beginning to get heavier,
I remember hearing voices outside
I couldn't tell who they belonged to, but they were shouting for me
"Open the door"

I was getting weaker with each passing second
a pool of blood began to form around me.
I closed my eyes, they were to heavy to keep open,
I remember taking a breath, and then I was gone.



As I felt myself leave my body
I saw so much of life flash before me like a hologram
seeing only the good times
the best times
as I watched my life play out I remember thinking where did it go wrong
I was once happy, cheerful.

Looking down at my lifeless body
as my family managed to kick the door down
wrapping my wrist
calling an ambulance
I just remember thinking where was this love when I was looking for it
Maybe not my best poem, and just to let you know this is not about me, although when I was younger I had considered it I never carried it through but I do know people that have tried, including my best friend.

If anyone reading this is considering suicide, please don't
although it may seem like there is no escape, there is, and the right people will help you find that escape. You are a special person and amazing, you are unique, beautiful, smart.

You may or may not believe in God
So to those who do believe remember God loves you
but to all of you remember I love you and you are brilliant.

This Hell which we reside

but like the Berlin wall

Not sure where I tried to go with this, I kind of wanted to write something about the evilness in the world but as I read it back I kind of felt like it was trying to to tell people to keep hold of hope, hope that the future will be better.....

freedom of speech limited
people not knowing what equal rights are
the rich getting everything while the poor get nothing
crime everywhere, criminals walking free
torture, suppression, bullying, hatred, killing, PERSECUTION
accused witches burned alive
governments killing civilians
War after war after war

Final moments
Craig Harrison Dec 2014
Just a young boy growing up on the bad side of town
school was like a prison, bars up the window, cops searching you
everyone is in a gang, what is one supposed to do.
The teachers were scared, would never shout at kids
even the pigs who patted us down were scared
the teachers, the cops, the public to scared to say anything
maybe if they did I would still be alive today.

I was a young boy, I had big dreams
school was an escape from my home
I never joined a gang
I lived in fear all my life, trying not to hurt anyone or upset them.
I don't remember the final moments
just pain, so painful and so much blood.
I think I was shot by a passing car but I can't remember now.

The news said

10 year old boy gunned down near is home
Teachers said he was a clever child and will be missed
Parents were unavailable to comment

Don't be scared to do the right thing
like me you still might get killed
and nothing will still be changed.
Just something I wanted to share even if it isn't considered a poem.

(This as nothing to do with my life or anyone I knows life. it was written from the point of view of a random person who was born in the wrong area)

Up above the world so high
I wished I could see you before I die.

When the blazing sun is gone
the human race will live on.
Then you show your little light
Twinkle twinkle little star, shining so bright.

Then the traveler in the dark
travels through space on his ark.
He could not see which way to go
if he could not see your shining glow.

Far away you keep
never getting to sleep.
For you never shut your eye
until it's your time to die.

As your bright and tiny spark
helps direct his ark
I have no idea where you are

Hopes and dreams

I get told
I've been told
it's time to stop living a fantasy
it's time to grow up
it's time to give up on my hopes and dreams.

As a child I was told it was cute
as teenager I was told to go for it
but as an adult I was told to give up.

Hopes and dreams make us who we are
they create change
Martin Luther King
Orville and Wilbur Wright
Christopher Columbus
Neil Armstrong
these people, people like these
never gave up
they kept their hopes and dreams
Not my best work but the message is clear, never ever give up on your hopes and dreams.

Everyday you make me cry
Everyday I want to die
Everyday I notice I'm different
Everyday I continue to try

Everyday you make me mad
And everyday you make me sad

Everyday is a different day
Everyday you ignore what I say
Everyday I like to dream
Everyday you make me scream

Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all the same
It's everyday do you have no shame

Everyday you make my heart hurt
Everyday you treat me like dirt
Everyday I cry inside
Everyday I just try to hide

Everyday I escape in my dreams
Everyday you ignore my screams
Everyday I wait for change
Everyday I feel strange

Everyday is the same
Everyday I wish it never came
Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal

Everyday, Everyday, EVERYDAY!

Flame in my heart
Craig Harrison Nov 2013
Like a flame in my heart
knowing your name was the start

My feelings for you, your power over me
Opened my eyes to the world, you made me see
Seconds into minutes into days
Proving my love for you, how when there are so many ways

Like a whisper in the wind
gentle like a snowflake
Beauty unparalleled
A mind so pure
Meeting you, soul mates are real I am sure
Hadn't uploaded anything for a while so thought it was about time, anyway I hope you enjoy. Working ******* the next poem called All we are is a memory. Not sure when I'll finish it so keep an eye out.. anyway let me know what you think of this poem, and leave me links to your best works so I can check them out and maybe get inspired.
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me
a total lie!

Names hurt, not physically but mentally
and the scars last maybe longer
If you are lucky you'll come out of it a lot stronger.

Sticks and stones will **** me
names will make me cry
put the 2 acts together and you'll make me want to die

You think it's a joke but I don't find you funny
I die a little each time you bully me
because of you maybe tomorrow I will not wake up
overdose or wrists or something else
All could be averted if you didn't bully me.
I'm a big supporter of anti bullying campaigns but it seems to be getting worse, everyday a new video on Youtube from a victim and news story's of someone committing suicide because of bullying.

Sadly schools don't do much for victims. I myself was bullied at school and I know from personal experience you feel you are alone (you're not but it feels that way) Parents don't understand the scale of how it makes you feel, teachers just make things worse. But also from personal experience after school life your world opens up, it becomes so much bigger and you find people to talk to, new friends and your confidence comes back you come back. So although during school life you may feel like you're dieing at some point in the future you will feel alive once again.

I understand that this poem will not change anything (sad but most bullies only change as they get older) but if any bullies do read this I have something to say (SHAME ON YOU) and if just 1 person does read this and wakes up to the pain they cause someone else, I have this to say, IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO MAKE SOMEONES DAY BETTER

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

Will part of us live on in others
will our dreams remain
will our love never end
are we infinite?

Space, surely it is infinite
never ending, just like no beginning
we could travel the stars for infinity
but is Space really infinite.

Life, now surely
it's been here for so long
in some form.
Could it exist else where
Mars, Titan, else where
so if Space is infinite
could life be

Ideas, imagination, surely they must be
they make up who we are
they gave us architecture
books, music, art
Ideas and imagination have existed for as long as us
so are they infinite

If none of the others, then surely technology
surely that is infinite
Cars, computers, phones, AI
surely technology will live on
in some form
it must be infinite

HUMANS
If our dreams, our love
If space, if life
If our ideas, our imagination, our technology
If one of them lives on, if just one of them is infinite
then could Humans be infinite

My heart
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Like a drummer playing base
my heart beats
Most of my life it has been playing a slow tempo
but recently it's upped the pace like a song at a club
If you listen quietly you can hear it echo

Like a singer singing
my heart sings
not Pop or Rock but Opera
in the beginning it sang a slow tempo
but recently it's upped the pace like a song at a club
If you listen quietly you can hear it echo

Like a drummer playing base
my heart beats
Like a singer singing
my heart sings
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

The way it should be
Craig Harrison Sep 2016
Why don't we live in a world thats free for all to roam
or a city that's as fresh as the country
after all we call Earth our home
so why is it we persecute those who differ from us in anyway
even in the age we live the world discriminates
are you male, are you religious, what's your race
are you fat, are you gay, what's your political views
all this abuse going on right in your face.

Do you love, because I do
do you want peace, because I do
That's the way it should be
me equal to you and you equal to me
the way it should be

If life was a day
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
If life was a day
I'd wake up kicking and screaming
opening my eyes to the world for the first time
seeing and meeting strange people
by 9am I'd be in my 20's and in my prime
but not for long before the day made me tired

By midday I would be wasting my life savings
buying a new car, holidays and fancy clothes
for I would have entered my midlife crisis
What had started out as a long day
was coming to an end quicker than I realised

The day would roll on and by late evening
I'd be a grandad, spoiling my family
spending what I had left to enjoy the time I had left
As I would struggle up the stairs
longing for my bed
the day would be nearing its end
11:59pm time for me to fall asleep
never waking up
never seeing tomorrow
That's what it would be like
If life was a day

The darkest time
Craig Harrison Feb 2016
You say you're worried
but where were you when the rain lashed against the windows
and the clouds turned black.
The darkest time of my life
where were you then.

The day that the hope drained and the darkness creaped in
when the sun set and the winter came
you say you're worried
but where were you when my heart crumbled
and the tears wouldn't stop.
The darkest time of my life
where were you then.

The day I realised I was alone in this world
when the sadness creaped in
it never left
so you say you are worried
but where are you when you're needed
where are you when I'm screaming out for your help.
The darkest time of my life
where are you then!

Silenced
Craig Harrison Feb 2015
Why do you write asked the stranger
why do babies scream I replied

because we will not be silenced.

You can tell us to be quiet
you can put us in cages
you can cause harm to us
but we will not be silenced

I write to express myself
I write to be heard
because no matter what you do
I will not be silenced

Fear
Craig Harrison Sep 2015
Fear, true fear is so painful
so hurtful, your body becomes shocked
your mind is crying
fear

Fear to wake up in the morning
fear that it will happen again
true fear is so painful
so hurtful, your body is frozen
your mind is scared
fear

The world lied to us
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
As I've aged I learned one important thing
the world lied to us
No perfect Christmases
No perfect relationships
No happy ever afters
The world lied to us

Our hopes and dreams
our search for the perfect thing
built up on lies
We've dreamed about our perfect weddings
our perfect days
our perfect homes
but none of it is real
The world lied to us

Our friendships end just like they began
relationships crumble like a house of cards
our hopes change more than our wardrobe
Everything we were told
everything we dreamed and hoped for
all built on lies

Caring what others think
worrying if they are angry at us
thinking about them in times of need

ALL POINTLESS

they don't care what we think
they never worry about us
they never think about how we are

AS I'VE AGED I LEARNED ONE IMPORTANT THING
THE WORLD LIED TO US

WE ARE ALONE IN THIS WORLD

How can we
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Crimes of humanity, we'd be here all day
how can I be considered a part of a race that
Kills
Tortures
Hurts others
how can I in good consciousness say I am part of the Human Race

How can a species have achieved so much
how can a species with so much potential
how can we sit ideally by while someones life falls apart
how can we stand tall when we belittle so many
how can we accept acts of violence

We're the caretakers of this Earth
the caretakers of this life
How can we destroy everything that makes us special

I am not part of the Human Race
I can not be part of a species that causes so much pain
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.
