The trouble with Hello Poetry
Is that I fall in love daily
Held under so many captivating spells
moulded and crafted by all walks of life
I find myself longing for all of you
the broken, the fallen, the bruised
the saints, the sinners
the righteous, the dispossessed
the holy, the unholy
all meet here
to speak of life
as they feel it
as only we know it.
Onwards, upwards
Downward spirals
kindness, cruelty
crashing through boundaries
bounding across oceans
carried on wistful sighs and broken dreams
The trouble with Hello Poetry
Is that it breaks my heart
Then brings me back to love again
All within an hour.

Flicker
If I were naked
it would be different
flaunting my body
being naughty
a being
only physical
people would see me
and drop to their knees
just because I am beautiful
let me capture your eyes
but not your love
for I am only physical

I am mental
a dreamer inside a dream
the hero to the story
a beauty when the outside is boring
the subtle collapse of darkness
tears when the rain is pouring
killer stalking your heels
a sunburst laughing
the one who catches you
faceless I hold you
caressing your hand
I am the love
your light
the one who matters
when the world goes blind.
I am convinced
That if all mankind
Could only gather together
In one circle
Arms on each other's shoulders
And dance, laugh and cry
     together
   Then much
     of the tension and burden
       of life
     Would fall away
In the knowledge that
We are all children
Needing and wanting
Each other's
Comfort and
Understanding
We are all children
Searching for love
I still love you
but unfortunately
I lost my self
in the process
of loving you...
Let me search myself inside your sparkling eyes
for I feel I might be lost there
You meant so much to me,
You still mean the world to me.
After all these years,
After all those tears.
And all the pain you put me through.
Somehow I still smile,
Everytime I see you.
But you don't seem to care how I feel.
After all, the love you claimed to have for me wasn't real.
All those lies you had spoken,
And all those promises you've broken.
You took my heart, and threw it away.
It's not like it meant anything to you, anyway.
But I only wish someday,
You'll truly see.
How much you really meant to me.

Mr Nobody
A place to escape from reality,
where all my problems vanish,
in just one blink of an eye.
I am gone,
in my own little world,
where no one can harm me,
where I'm safe and sound.
I feel the warmth of my thoughts,
it holds me and wraps me up like a blanket.
My life feels secure,
I have no worries,
I am finally at peace.
"So what does depression feel like"*

It feels like trying to run through the sand after you have just climbed out of the ocean.

Like trying desperately to hang on to the merry-go-round spinning out of control.

Like struggling to keep your head above water in a wave pool.

Like trying to climb up a steep slide and slipping down just as you almost reach the top.

Like gasping for air after you've had the wind knocked out of you.

Like having a crush on life knowing life will never like you back.

Do you understand now?
