When you are all alone
No motivation
Nothing to do
No-one to love
Nowhere to go.

What do you do?
Sigh?
Try to find something to do?
Go shopping?
Eat?

Not me.
I just lie down
Pretend I'm somebody else for the day.

But then I wake up.
Then I realize why I did that.
And I sigh.
I find something to do.
I go shopping.
I eat.

And push it all to the back of my head.

Have I done this?
Have I done that?
Wait.
I forgot to do something.
PANIC.

Every day,
You do the same,
Follow a list,
And give it a name.
We all do it,
Even me,
I try to rhyme,
As you can see.
But what if we all
Made a change?
Did something random?
Tried to rearrange?
What if I choose
Not to rhyme?
Would that be better?
Worth my time?

Let's give it a shot.

So randomness.
How shall I do it?
Find the answer?
And then the question?
Bananas are cool.
Goodbye sirs and madams.
Hi there!
Fly away!
Eat a snail!
Catch a fish!
What's your favourite fruit?
I'm on the ceiling!
I'm underground!
Have we started?
Nearly done.
Qwertyuiop.
Asdfghjkl.
Zxcvbnm.
The contents of my keyboard.
And that is all.

Hmm.
I think I'll keep my list.
Because that was exhausting.
And the order I missed.

Hello?
Can you hear me?
Are you there?
Will you talk to me?
I have something I want to say to you.
It's really important.
Please answer me.
Please?
Just look at me.
That will do.
Just notice me.
I need to talk to you.
For just one moment.
Will you please just listen?
I'm right in front of you.
Trying to talk to you.
Can you hear me?
I just want to tell you one thing.
Just one little sentence.
Ten seconds of your time.
That's all I need.
Please?
I just wanted to say this.

I Love You.
Yeah, made while on a sugar rush. I dunno whether it makes sense to you, but it does to me.

I have taken it,
Snatched it from it's home
And forsaken it.
Cards held to my chest,
Hoping I can be the best.
None had expected this,
No-one thought of death within their bliss.

But now it's falling down around my head.

Keep it hidden,
Keep it close,
Take the serum,
Take the dose,
They will never
Find it here,
But still I run,
Eyes filled with fear.

It was difficult to find,
Hidden far away and deep from mankind,
Deep in the forest,
The start of a story with one cruel twist,
I was torn apart,
Thorns went through my chest and into my heart.

And soon it will be falling around my head.

Home we come,
To the undergrowth,
We have not won,
But we won the most,
Unlike someone,
Through the sky we coast.

I do not want to know
Why the progress is so slow.

Fires burning left and right,
And everyone who wants a fight,
It's safer to just cause some harm,
Keep in your head a red alarm,
Rivalries are everywhere,
Some as close as head and hair,
Heads in clouds just can't be arsed,
So private ones are floating past.

This place is lost, it's hostile now,
Get out now,
No longer safe, we go to ground,
This place isn't safe,
Hired guns, a life of fear,
Fight all you want,
The only thing you'll get is the fall of the city.

Three yards from the edge,
Three yards from the middle,
It may be empty now,
But just you wait until it's full,
Losses over dough and imitation.

Please,
This your last chance,
Please,
Give me what I want,
Please, I don't know what you wa-

One less person helping bring about the fall of the city.

I'm so happy,
Sitting here,
In the middle of my misty thoughts,
I'm not free,
But I'm protected,
A jail cell in a couple of thoughts.

It seems so wrong,
But somehow manages to feel right.

Reasons unknown,
Everyone breaks out in a fight.

Isn't it wonderful?
The unknown mysteries of the known world?
Chilling and having fun,
Blissfully unaware,
Of what is out there.

It's so peaceful,
In the clouds,
Where so many heads seem to be,
Floating by,
So high,
Thankful that they cannot see.

Picnic date,
With their girl,
Ignoring what is around the corner,
Bright clothes,
With their cars,
Cutting up the quiet mourners.

How would you feel,
How would you cope?
It's easier to understand,
With a much wider scope.

Tell me.

Is it what you need you don't want?
Is it what you need you don't want?

How would you feel if you had nothing?

Tell me.
