3000
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
In the year 3000
will we still be here
living on land
or below the sea.
Will we have
driver-less cars
robot people
a colonised Mars
where will we be
in the year 3000

If I asked
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Would you say yes if I asked you out?

would you like to grab coffee some time?
or maybe catch a movie?
Would you say yes if I asked you out?

I'm a shy guy but only at first
by the 3rd date you would never notice
I'm filled with confidence waiting to burst.

I can't do it face to face
or over the phone
It's so easy when I'm at home

Will you go out with me?
This poem is not based on a current situation, it's something that happened when I was much younger. I was really shy at the time and there was this girl who I really liked but of course I was to shy to ask her out face to face so it was coming up to her birthday so while I wrote out the card I expressed my feelings and asked her out in the card. Well it didn't go the way I planned and I made a fool/idiot out of myself. Now when I look back at it I smile and that was the inspiration and the idea behind this poem, I hope you enjoyed it.

If I'm still been honest I will admit I am still shy but no where near as much as I once was, and if any of you ever meet me in life you will notice this but you will also notice the shyness disappear with-in an hour or so.


Last little bit, something new I'm going to start adding to the end of my poems. 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.

Entered
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Upon an house I once fell
old and worn but standing tall
I walked to the open door
shouting out if anyone was there
but no response, not that I could hear.

Dark hallway stood in front
with a flicker of light from the room to my right
a library I had entered
shelves of books, table and chair
with a photo of me standing their

The door I had come in through
shut behind me with a thunderous bang
making me jump but I was already scared

The candle light began to dim
picked up the photo I chose to do
who had been watching me, who took this
who's house were I standing in.

A voice I swear I did hear
"turn it over" a whispered voice called out
no one in the room with me
no electronic equipment I could see

I turned the photo, a message I did see
"You shouldn't have entered, your trapped like me"
I ran towards the door, too creepy an house, to weird an owner
but the door was gone, vanished it be
the candle flickered and finally went and in the darkness came the voice
"You shouldn't have entered, your trapped like me"
I tried something different here but I don't think it worked out right, what do you think.

This was inspired by The Raven written by the great Edgar Allan Poe

Wonders back
Craig Harrison Dec 2015
My mind wonders back
back to the beginning
to the moment when this began
the day I met you

Like a production played out in my mind
sound so loud I can not hear anything else
but then my mind skips ahead and the sadness returns

I can't stop playing it over in my mind
the moment they told you
"Weeks left to live"
the fear I saw in your eyes
but there was nothing we could do

A tear falls from my eye
hating that you are gone
but there is nothing I can do
except remember you
your smile
your laughter
your big blue eyes
your kindness
so My mind wonders back
back to the beginning
to the moment when this began
the day I met you
At the moment this poem doesn't pressent it's self from my point of view, it is written from the point of view of a person who recently lost their loved one. So many people die each year and there loved ones suffer in heart ache, I tried my best to promote how this might feel to a person who as yet to experience this kind of heart ache.. R.I.P to those who've lost their lives

Lost
Craig Harrison May 2014
It all happened so fast
I turned my back and you were gone
A moment in time I can never get back
a moment I can never change
You did nothing wrong, it wasn't your fault
you waited until the light turned red.
He thought he could make it
but he failed
he hit you so hard, paramedics said it was instantaneous
but I don't believe, I can see the the pain in your eyes each time I close mine
you did nothing wrong
it wasn't your fault
now your gone
my best friend

Silence
Craig Harrison May 2014
Silence, it's not much to ask for
banging before 8am
loud after 10pm
never shutting up, never been silent

With all its negatives
been deaf as one advantage
no noisy neighbors
no noisy traffic
total silence, something so rare

A house in the country
a boat at sea
a shuttle in space
places to finally get some sleep
places to finally get some silence
People who are deaf would love to be able to hear their neighbors and traffic and really deserve a cure, the purpose of making the comment about the one advantage to been deaf was for the purpose of the poem and also to explain how noisy the world is and can be.

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.

Merry Christmas
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
It's that time of year
to spread love and cheer
On the 25th of December
It's the good times we'll remember
For it will be Christmas day
Where Santa delivers gifts while traveling on his sleigh

Snow on the ground
gifts all around
Laughter and joy
Gifts for all no mater if you're a girl or boy

Santa is kind, he gives us gifts
he climbs down chimneys and doesn't use lifts

So Merry Christmas everyone
Have a great day
Remember to look out for Santa and his sleigh
I hope everyone has a nice Christmas. Some won't but remember a moment of kindness can make anyone smile. So remember to wish others a very Merry Christmas this year.... MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Nightmare
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
A noise, quiet but echoing
I get up to look around
but the light doesn't turn on
I try the hallway
again no light
what's happening, I get scared
A noise behind me this time
I turn around
light, finally a light is on
I walk into the room I'd just left
darkness again, the light went out
I make my way to the stairs
still without any light
I feel more scared, I hear a voice
my dad?, no wait it was me
but how
I go down the stairs
still no light
my voice again, "Come here"
what is happening
so scared now, shaking like crazy
I still here my voice but I hear a noise again behind me
I spin
nothing
I see something
a light
but from where
the kitchen
I get there and it goes out again
who's doing this to me
I close my eyes
wishing, praying it will end
a voice in front of me
not mine but I recognise it from somewhere
but not sure
the voice it says
"It's okay, you can wake up now"

I wake up in bed
it was only a nightmare
I feel happy, safe
until the next time I fall a sleep
the dream will return, just like all the other times
This is actually a nightmare I have regularly
I have no idea why

I have never figured out who the voice belongs to that say I can wake up now.

Over the years I have had a few nightmares but this one has hung around for a while, I usually dream of this about once a month and it started about 4 years ago.

I can't describe
Craig Harrison Jul 2018
I can't describe the pain
the pain that you feel.
I can't tell what is worse
what drove me to this, my only option of escape
or watching the blood drip down from the blade

I look down at the lines I just drew across my wrists
my body the canvas, the blade my pencil
I do not feel fear, I do not feel sorrow, I feel joy
as I watch the seconds on the clock continue to count
I know that soon, so very soon I will be free

I can't describe the pain
the pain that you feel
Sometimes I hate that I believe that I will be going to hell when I die, funny how fear of an afterlife keeps me here

Could you do it
Craig Harrison Oct 2015
Take away your arms
take away your legs
could you survive?

Take away your money
take away your phone
would you cry?

Take away your family
take away your friends
would you be lonely?

Take away your food
take away your water
would you starve, would you die?

Now take away someones arms
take away their legs
could you do it?

Take away someones money
take away their phone
could you do it?

Take away someones family
take away their friends
could you do it?

Take away someones food
take away their water
could you do it?

It happens everyday
someone takes someones limbs
someone takes someones valuables
someone takes someones loved ones
someone takes someones life
If you can't do it to yourself
don't do it to someone else

Mothers Day
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
How can I say this mom?
You have always been there for me
You have taken me to the hospital when I’ve fallen out a tree
Gave me my tea when I haven’t deserved it
And I haven’t showed gratitude one bit
So I’m sorry mom

I love you so much
So today I will buy you lunch
I will give you anything you want
Just because you’re my mom

Happy mothers day
So what do you want mom

Why don’t you put your feet up and let me do that
This is your day off
So take a seat and open your cards
And let me take care of the housework

I hope I have given you what you want
Happy mothers day

Living free
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Do you not believe that Love is more important
If I say I love you and you love me is that worth anything
Do I not deserve to live my life free
Free from persecution
Free from discrimination
Free from hate of any kind

Who I love is not hurting anyone
So do I not deserve to live my life free
You hate me and sack me
with out even knowing me
You see who I love and judge me

Gay or Lesbian I still love the same as any straight person
kisses and cuddles
holding hands
Love is love no matter where it is projected
If God hates me for who I am
then he hates you to
'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than this
so to hate me is to hate yourself
and in this world we are all neighbors

So do I not deserve to live my life free
Free from persecution
Free from discrimination
Free from hate of any kind
Written from the point of view of a Gay/Lesbian person
I myself are not gay but that does not mean that I can not fight for gay rights

Gays and Lesbian have just as much rights as anyone and everyone and it is about time the world stop discriminating against them

This was written in response to a report that the boy scouts revoked agreement with Seattle church over gay troop leader

Change
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Is hitting restart on our lives just a dream
do we really start again
out with the old and in with the new
we can try and change, but do people let us

Decorating an house is easy but what about something hard
like a change in personality
new hobbies, new friends, new dreams
do the people we know let us change

If you told your friends you developed a taste for opera
or maybe sky diving
would they accept you and let you change
or would they try to put you down to stop you.
We like to think that our friends would accept us no matter what
but if you completely changed you entire personality
would they accept or would they try to keep you the way you were.

One night every year
seeing things that we fear
ghosts, witches, monsters
celebrating Halloween
whether you a child, adult or teen.
Scaring our friends, scaring our neighbors
making them jump, making them scream
making them wish it was all a dream.
Have a happy Halloween everyone, go and scare the hell out of some people lol

Dreams
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Dreams, not the kind when we sleep
but the dreams we all have about our futures
More money
A bigger house
or a partner and kids
What ever you dream, remember sometimes dreams do come true

I dream of being rich
I dream of moving to L.A
I dream of these everyday
I dream of having kids
I dream of a better future for all of life
I dream that one day I will find myself a wife

Just remember that sometimes dreams do come true
but without hope dreams are impossible
So have hope and dream big
because today might just be your day
where your dreams come true
I don't even know if this is classed as a poem but it was something I started writing and wanted to share.

Tugce Albayrak
Craig Harrison Dec 2014
Definition of a hero
people like you
those who put themselves in danger
protecting others.

Standing up for what is right
choosing not to run but stand up and fight
risking everything to give others something
giving your life so others may live

Definition of a hero
People like you
R.I.P
Tugce Albayrak


If you don't know the story of Tugce Albayrak, she was a 23yo German who stepped in to protect 2 teen girls from a group of men. Sadly one of the men attacked Tugce later that day in the Mcdonalds car park and she slipped into a coma, her life support was turned off on her 23rd birthday after recommendations by doctors.

Not only did Tugce save those 2 girls she also carried a donor card and her organs will go onto save even more people.

With so many superhero movies coming out recently, she might not have had special powers but she was special and also a hero.

No Title
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
When I was younger
I looked at my window
and saw an escape.
A chance to get away from this hell
a way to end it all, my life wasn't going to well.

As I aged
I developed attachments to fictional characters
filling a void created by how I felt.
A fear of death stopped certain acts
and the feeling of happiness disappeared.

Today I cry to sleep,
lying to those closest to me,
hiding how I really feel
not happy but sad.
I get emotionally pressured into doing things for others,
I have very little sleep.
My heart rate increases at any disturbing noise.
The happiness I felt as a child is now buried deep.

Gradually things have been getting harder.
Dealing with friends and family,
trying to remain stable and sound minded
my mind fighting but is left divided.
Do I keep fighting and searching for that happiness
or do I give up and allow time to do its damage?

Rememberance

Bright like a star
Dark like a hole
Gone but not to far

In our hearts you remain
In heaven you now reside
For ever, the memory of the day you died

Funny and smart
Brilliant at many things but not very good at art
blond hair, once like the sun
lived every day to the max
and always knew how to have fun

smiles on our faces, first day and every day
the moment of your birth will always be my happiest
today will always be my saddest

For ever I will love
for ever I will remember
For ever you changed my life
and may I just say what a brilliant life
made perfect by you

As a man.. As a woman
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
for years I cared
for years I worried
sleepless nights wondering what you thought of me
as a man I was scared you'd judge me unfairly
hours a day at the gym
starving myself
hair implants
thousands of pounds spent on my body because I was scared
scared that I would be judged unfairly

for years I cared
for years I worried
sleepless nights wondering what you thought of me
as a woman I was scared you'd judge me unfairly
the cat calls
size 0 clothing
breast implants
bags of makeup
thousands of pounds spent on my body because I was scared
scared that I would be judged unfairly


As a man
As a woman
I was scared
I worried
I cared
what you thought of me
but I learned
I learned that as a man
I learned that as a woman
I didn't need to worry
I don't live on this planet to make you happy
I live here to make myself happy
So as a man, as a woman
I'm no longer scared
no longer worried
I only care what I think of me




For a peaceful world we need an equal world
First things first this poem is not intended to upset or cause offense to anyone. I accept that everyone as a different view on things, this poem is only intended to to promote equality between men and women (and other sexes)

I cry without tears
I smile without joy
The person you see is no more than a lie

I am not happy
nor am I content
the only thing I am is a lie

Sadness and loneliness
but no where near happiness
Striving to change
but all I am is a lie  

I fake a smile
I fake a laugh
I fake so much
but I can not fake that I'm a lie

In the mornings
in the nights
No escape in my sights

I am not happy
I am sad
I am good but I have been bad

I cry without tears
I smile without joy
The person you see is no more than a lie

Life
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Once there was nothing, no time, nothing
but something strange happened
there was a birth, it's very old now
we call it the Universe

The Universe had many children
all of different shapes, sizes, colors but all very beautiful
we call them Galaxies

Those Galaxies aged and had children of their own
called solar systems and they had children called planets
and those planets had children called life








Billions of years passed
that life had children called machines
but everything that as a beginning as an end
and the machines malfunctioned
the life died out
planets were destroyed
solar systems perished
galaxies fell apart
and the Universe continued to age, watching as its children died
not able to save them, not able to do anything.

As time drifted by the Universe got sick
been eaten away by a virus called Black holes
destroying everything the Universe had left
and eventually dieing
Based on the multiverse theory which I believe in, there is the probability that one universe somewhere will never die and all life will live on. Maybe just maybe it will be this universe

On the street
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
When I was young I grew up on the street
Taking and dealing drugs
This is the one place that teaches you not to retreat
When you get ambushed by a bunch of thugs

Were not as bad people seem to think
We just like to party and have a drink
We get chased everyday by cops
For hanging around outside the shops

If I had the chance to get out then I would
But I have to stay and protect my hood
So I hope from this poem you will understand
Maybe next time you wont be so brand
This is fiction, but is from a story I was writing at the time.

We were alien

we talk to our self when we think we talking to someone
would we ever know if our mind was playing tricks

What if,
we knew everything but suffer some form of dementia
the universe in really the size of a football
we all look like bugs
we're all dead
What if the universe only began when you were born
what if time was altered and before today you never existed
What if everything we ever thought was true
was actually a lie.
Ask yourself, what if?
and would you ever know, really!

All I've ever wanted
is to be loved by you

to be rich

to be happy

is when I sleep, I cry
when I'm awake, I cry
and
While I sit here dieing from sadness and loneliness
I cry

All kept hidden from the world
UNTIL NOW
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
I can only try my best, try to do what I think is right
try to create change when I see an opportunity.

I might be guilty of many things but only of the things that I felt was right at the time.

I love animals not because they love me but because they are worthy of my love.

I fight for the rights of others not because they would fight for me but because I think that a world would be better if we didn't just think of ourselves.

I try to please everyone even though I know I can not please everyone, but it doesn't mean I will stop trying.

I feel rejected when someone doesn't accept me for who I am and criticize  me because I believe in what I believe.

I cry inside when I feel my parents love my brother more than me or when they don't listen to my own opinions but expect me to listen to them.

I will never learn when it comes to people because I will always believe that no matter how evil the world looks and how deceitful people can be, I will always believe that love can overcome everything.

I understand that I will never be perfect but I will never stop trying to improve because without improvement I become stuck and trapped and I hate feeling trapped.

I believe in God not because of religions but because in my mind I have found away to explain his existence and his reasoning. People wont accept it but my beliefs don't hurt anyone, they accept everyone.

I don't believe in hell, not because I believe people shouldn't be punished for crimes but because I don't like the idea of someone suffering for eternity no matter of the crime.

I want a heaven on Earth because why should we wait until death to live the perfect life when we can make it on Earth, not just for the few but for all.

I eat to much food, not because of hunger but because If I do only live once why should I punish myself when I can be tasting the creations of talented people.

I accept that I may never change the world but I feel that we need change not for me or you but for the people here in 100 years time.

I hate the idea that when I die that no one will really remember me, 100 years from now everything I am will have no meaning, people will not know who I was.

I fear that I will never get the things I want in life and it kills me every night
Married
Children
Wealth to allow me to do so many amazing things
A happy family
the movie style Christmas's
to move to L.A
To have really good friends
the confidence I wished I had
The opportunity to achieve everything on my bucket list
and so much more
but I will never give up trying to help others achieve the things they want in life (with-in reason and with-in the law)

You call me a dreamiest but their is nothing wrong with that, especially when I wake up every morning an I feel like I am in my own personal hell. The ability to dream is what created the world, to dream of traveling the seas, to go into space, to ask the cute person out. Everything is based on a dream of some kind so although calling me a dreamiest you think it's an insult I take it as a complement.

I can only be me, I can not please you all, I can not change who I am when I feel and believe what I do is right.

I write not to be heard but because I have something to say.

So that's me, a person who made mistakes but learned a person who feels guilt everyday but keeps going, a person that contemplated suicide more than once in my youth but stopped at least 3 people from doing it (2 strangers and 1 dear friend)
I'm the person who treats animals as my best friend because they treat me that way and always stick by my side, the guy that believes in love and marriage but is still looking. I'm the guy that you pass in the street and think lets not talk to him because he has a beard and long hair and maybe a bad taste in clothing (only because I cant afford better, I have more important things to spend my money on) and the guy who doesn't drink alcohol (I'm the guy you think is weird when I tell you that) but if you got to know me you would know that I would always be there as a friend and as a shoulder.
I'm that guy who tries so hard even though I always fail but I'm also that guy that carries on, I'm that guy who holds the door open, stairs at the stars and wonder, who cries when I see bad things happening to you.

I'm the guy who if you gave me a chance I would become your best friend.

Earth History
Craig Harrison Jan 2014
I see the fires of hell
I hear the thunders of Thor
at the beginning of Earth there was not much more

After many years the Earth began to cool
in the deepest depths life will rise
but it's not much, it's only got one molecule

Evolution or Religion
what ever you believe is your decision
but we all agree life was born
and Earth was heading for a new dawn

Million of years had passed
A species known as Dinosaurs stood
but tragedy struck and wiped them out along with many other species
but that event allowed a species known as **** sapiens to take over
Which in turn created me so I could write this and so you could read

Time and memory
Craig Harrison Feb 2015
Time moves in one direction, memory in another.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Time removes the flesh from bodies and the blood from hearts
but time will never remove the memories from our souls.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you
A room without books is like a body without a soul
I don' t know much, but
Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life
For time destroys, nothing lives on
but the clock that constantly moves will never destroy the memories that live on in our souls.
Inspired by the words of:

William Gibson, Helen Keller, Elbert Hubbard, Mark Twain, Marcus Tullius Cicero

Let me know what you think

Important
Craig Harrison Feb 2015
When I look at you I see your kind smile
I see your politeness
I see that you love so much
When I look at you I see your happiness
I see your beauty
I see that you care so much
When I look at you I don't care that you're gay
I love you
When I look at you all I care about is
that you are happy

STOP, the world shouted
please STOP
but no body listened

Wedding Vow
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
When we first met I knew that it was meant to be
But I had to find some way to make you see
Every time I hear your name my heart skips a beat
When you walk through the door I need to take a seat
Every night you’re the most beautiful person in the room
In fact you’re the most beautiful person on the planet
Except for me of course

I stand here today to show you my love
I love you baby
I can’t wait for this day to be over
So I can spend the rest of my life married to you.
All that are uploaded today are old work, but thought I would share them with you guys. Please leave feedback, its the only way I can improve

We have a right
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
At night I hear the cry's of so many
the tears they release, the pain they feel.
Seeing my Brothers and Sisters like this breaks my heart
each day thousands of them die. No food or water.
How?

None of us asked for this life
none of us wished to be born
How can life be worth living
when so many of us struggle to live.
The basics we need, food and water
can not be found except in the hands of the rich.

Millions of the poor die each day
while the rich sit on piles of money.
For what purpose, for what gain
For war and greed
Who are you fighting, who are you stealing from.
Why not give us free water and free food
WE HAVE A RIGHT TO LIFE BUT NOT THE RIGHT TO KEEP THAT LIFE
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.

2000 Years
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Jesus has been dead for over 2000 years
and all we can do is fetch the beers
2000 years, not much as changed
5 years now we stay engaged

When we walk down the street we get grabbed
then we wake up in hospital shot or stabbed
you have drive by shootings
and all we manage to do is hold special meetings

With all this going on we shed tears
not much as changed over the last 2000 years
One of my earlier pieces

Life now
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
Eating comfort food
watching the box
Sitting on my sofa
in my ****** and socks

Down below I get an itch
scratching away with my hand
Not enough energy to stand

Crumbs all around
A strange smell in the air
I no longer know why I don't care

I've given up
you finally won
there is no future
I'M DONE
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
You give and I take
but it's all your crap
if I was anyone else they would give you a slap

I'm not sure why we're friends
yet I remain until our life ends
9 years and counting
but when I'm with you, sometimes it feels like I'm drowning

I'm a good person and I forgive you
but you push me to the point where I wish I could say this friendship is through

Meaning
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
What is the meaning of life?
why are we all here?
For millennia some of the greatest philosophers have tried to answer
but today, in this great age, the answer is still unknown
we all have a different answer when asked the question
what is the meaning of life

To live our dreams
to leave a legacy
to make the world a better place
to improve ourselves
to be happy
to explore
to learn
to feel

For millennia we've searched for an answer
the greatest question
what is the meaning of life

To me it means
evolve our minds
explore every emotion
see the world
learn always
forgive and love everyone

every single person on this great planet
everyone of the 7 billion plus people
will have asked and answered the question
what is the meaning of life?

Above the sky
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
From the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
looking for our God, our heaven, our galactic neighbors
searching for answers, but finding more questions
from Sputnik to the voyager probes
from the first moon landing to the space station
from the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
pushing and pushing to explore
never giving up until we are no more
searching for answers, but always finding more questions

Fathers Day
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Today is fathers day
but I don’t know what to say
apart from happy fathers day dad
I know we make each other mad
but I do love you
although i don’t show it, i do mean to

You helped bring me up
you were there for my first hiccup
brought me gifts for every birthday
there’s nothing else to say
so happy fathers day

Story
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
This is a story, the story of how I died.

I was attacked
everything went black, not sure how long I was out
woke up but surrounded by complete darkness
hot, hard to breath
couldn't move.
I remember I was panicking, struggling, not keeping still
something hit my face, grainy
felt like sand.
It dawned on me, I was buried alive
I couldn't stop screaming, I couldn't think clearly
maybe if I did I'd still be alive.
I found it harder and harder to breath
constant panic
I just remember thinking, why?
I've never hurt anyone
I'm about to die, tears poring down the side of my face
why me?

It's hard to explain what waiting to die feels like
but at the time I felt
Hope that I'd be rescued
Anger
Sadness
I could feel my eyes getting heavy
I was falling away
like trying to stay awake when you're falling asleep
it was a losing battle.

I finally took my final breath
one remaining thought
I will tell my story but so many will never get to tell theirs
my eyes closed, my brain shut down, and my spirit left
I had died
All over the world people die every second of every day and they never get found we never find out what happened to them. Give thought to those that are missing and not found

?
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
?
If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If I cry and no one is around to hear me, do I cry?
So if I cry but no one hears, why do you ask if I am okay?
If you witness an act of bullying do you step in to help?

So tell me why it is that when we see a crime, when we hear the tears of an animal, it is ignored by so many?

Loss of sight
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
Many faces I once saw
I could even see my front door
Things like TV I can no longer see
I can't even see me

One night I closed my eyes
Morning after I could no longer see
Why do bad things happen to me

Doctors didn't know why
Spent years poking at my eye
Even now they still don't know
I can't even see my toe

From birth I've had poor vision
Everyday I have a collision
Poles, doors or walls
I've even had some massive falls

You have no idea on how it feels
Not even able to cook my own meals
My son helps as much as he can
But he is now a man

Living a life without sight
Not even seeing the sun light
Enough to make anyone give up
Like I once thought

Pray you never have to live like this
I can't even see my own ****
I hope you enjoy the poem

Water
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
When you're cold you're a solid
If it's hot you're a gas
But usually you're known as a liquid
Or even a huge ice mass

You created the land of ice
And sank the ship Titanic
Now home to sea life
Who live in the Atlantic


We are the slave and you are the master
With out you we'd die much faster
You feed our plants and our trees
You fill our Oceans and our Seas

Water we really need you
In-fact all forms of life do

You're so precious and rare
As a species we should take better care
Please leave feed back, if bad feedback if you have it.

Jesus
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
A brave man once stood
fighting for what he believed to be true
it took an army to silence him
but his message lives on

He came into this world as a miracle
tough on his parents even tougher on him
I question, did he know how his end would come.
From the moment of his birth he was gifted
but later in life his gifts would change everything

If he was only a man then what a man
he deserves our respect not our hatred
2000 years have passed and we are still waiting for him to return
he died for our sins, so sad, so very sad
I question, does everyone deserve his sacrifice.

It brings a tear to my eye
whipped
stabbed
tortured
killed
to much for anyone to bare
he didn't deserve it
especially for only refusing to back down on his beliefs
I question, did he have anything good in his life
I hope he did.

I'm sorry
I'm your friend
I'd protect you
I love you
you truly were amazing

If you wasn't the son of God
then you deserve more credit than you get
we don't know what really happened
but dieing for our sins is an amazing sacrifice

I'M SORRY
YOU DESERVED BETTER
