Ceaseless scratching
The sound of fingernails on skin
Constant
Unending
Rapid
More
I need it more.
Oh god.
Oh ****.
I can feel the Need.
It's all over.
The sensation.
Not even here. Just a mirage.
Just a dream.
Just a fever.
What I want.
NO
What I need.
When will it come?
How long have I waited?
Hours?
Days?
Months???
Or only minutes?
Time
Oh please go faster
A kettle
Boil?
That's it!
If I don't think
Then it will speed up.
How to achieve that though?
Oh,
I did it.
Just thought I'd type out whatever comes to my mind. I'm kind of tired of typing in a bunch of restrictive formats. I like them at times but I just wanted to try something new. Let me know what you think. I'm a **** for attention so I'll do whatever the public wants.
Thanks for reading.
Enjoy.

It started with wine
But then ended with cuddles

It should have lasted for a while
But ended in struggles

The spark is still there
And I still call him mine

We still have a lot to share
And he still is
My favourite kind of wine
Niki Gray Oct 2019
Remain humble and kind
always let your light shine.
Like a beacon of hope
to those wary, lost souls
on the hunt for a lamp
to light their barren path.
setting each step aglow
out of desolation.
Thank you to all my family and friends who support me and inspire me to be the best version of myself.  Special shout out to my husband Jim and my children Sydney and James thank you for loving me.  Thank you Christian,Todd, Sheela and Courtney for always giving great advice,  inspiration and encouragement. Thank you God for blessing me with so many things.

Who is a good person to know?
Each has a path to follow,
I do good things for others, you see,
Remaining kind  and so friendly,
Hearts do need folk to look after,
Souls need peace and laughter!
My path is that of a bard, as well,
Who is good and really swell?
I am being modest, what the hell!
Feedback welcome.

They Seem ...
STRANGE ... To Me ...
Don't They ... To You ... ?!?

The Things That People ....
Sometimes .... Do .... ?

Don't Worry Folks ...
I'll ... Give You PROOF ...
That People ... Make ...
Some ... FUNNY Moves ... ?!?

How About ... THIS ... ?
To ... Start Things Off ...

OUTRAGE ... Over .... !!!!!!!!!
Coc' Head " .... MOSS ...

" APOLOGIES " .....
And ... Sponsorship GONE ... !!!!!

Just ... LOCK HER UP ... !!!
Hasn't She ... Done WRONG ... ?!?

Well ...
FRIEND of Hers' ...
"WITHIN" ... The BIZ' ...
Are Showing Support ...
For ... " POOR Katie " ... !!!!!!

People Like ........

Ahhh Yes ... ROBBIE ... ??!??

"Leave her alone !!!" ...

Is ... Robbies' PLEA ... ?

Could There Be ... ?
Some More ... " Druggies " ...
Getting ... LOADS ... !!! ...
of ... CASH MONEY ... ???

While Others ...
Live In ... " Poverty " ... !!!?!!!

Take Your Time .........................
And ... Think It Through ..........................

While I ... Give You ...
Some More Proof ...
That People Make ...

The ...
STRANGEST Moves ... ?!?

Why Do Girls ... ?
Act So ........ Aloof .......... ?!?

And ... Make Men Feel ....
That ... They Aren't Cool ...

But Get ...  UPSET ...
When Men ... REJECT ...

The Chance To ... Talk ...
And ......................................... IGNORE Them ... !?!

Maybe Because ......................

They're Getting ... WET ...
And KNOW They Want Them ...
..... In Their Bed ..... !!!!!

Girls Like THIS ...
Just ... Get Me VEX ... !!!

They ... Act As Though ...
What's In Their Head ...
Should Make A Man ...
Kneel Down And ... BEG ...

Just To .... Spend ....
Some Time With Them ... !!!?!!!

That's Why I Wrote A Piece ...
Called ... " *** and Texts " ...

Cos' ... Texting Now ...
Leaves Me ... " PERPLEXED " ... ?

I've ... Said It Before ...
And Will ... Say It AGAIN ... !!!

That's NO WAY ...
To ... Communicate ... !!!!!

But Nowadays ....
It's Used In Ways ...

That ...
May Make STRAIGHT MEN ...
Become ... GAY ... !!!!!!!!!!!

That's Why I Like ...
To KEEP Girls' Texts ...
And Use Their Words ...
To ... Get Them VEX ... !!!

"Remember your text ?
Should I show you babe ?"

"NO cos', that's not what I meant,
I merely meant, can't we be friends."

"Ahhh friendship right
but. in your text,
the word, "Friendship",
was not transcribed ???"

"Well, you were supposed to RECOGNISE !"

"RECOGNISE What ?
Oh, read what you meant,
between the lines ?"

"NO, my text was just a text
let's move on, cos' now i'm Vex !"

SEE ... What I Mean !!!

Some Girls ARE STRANGE ... ?!?
And Sometimes ... " ACT " ...
Like They're ... " DERANGED " ... !?!

It Seems ... Some Girls ...
DON'T Use Their Brains ... !!!!!

That's Why These Days ...
I Now ... REFRAIN ...
From ... Getting Into ...
Womens' Games ... !!!

How About THIS ... ?

My Friends And I ...
Were ... Just In FITS ... !!!!!

You Get ... "INTIMATE" ...
With A ... PRETTY Girl ...

But See That She's ...
In ... " HER OWN WORLD "... !!!

She Says ...

"Let's keep a low profile !"

So ...
You Say ... " Cool " ...

But Here's The ... " Move " ...

In PUBLIC ... She Now ...
.... " IGNORES You " ....

You ... " Do Your Do " ...

But Then ... When You ...
Start ... " Making Moves " ...
With ... OTHER People ...
In The ... Room ....

Here It Comes ... !!!!!

You KNOW The Move ... !!!

She ... Makes A SCENE ...
In Front Your Crew ...
And STORMS Outside ... !!!!!

But ... When We Leave ...
She's ... Waiting There ...

Wearing ... YES ...
A ... CHEEKY Smile ...

You ... Play It Out ...

"What was that about ?" ...

But Then She Starts ...
To ... RUN HER MOUTH ... !!!!!

That's ...
When You Say ...

"Okay, I'm out !" ...

What Does She Do ... ?

Stand There And ... " POUT " ... !?!

Fellas ... Know The Coup ...
.... " NO DOUBT " ... !!!!!!

It's ...
NOT JUST GIRLS ...

But ... Fellas Too ...
Who ... Sometimes Make ...
These ... STUPID Moves ... !!!!!!!!!

Which ...

Brings Me Back ...
To The ... " Question " ...

........ " Phew " ........ !!!!!!!

The Things That People
Sometimes ... DO .... ???

" Seem Strange To Me ...
Don't They To ... YOU ? "
People ?!?

Why Do We ... Struggle ... ?
And Create ... TROUBLE ... !!!
  
Because Most People ...
Are Happy ...  " In Their Bubble " ... !?!
  
Now .....
You Know What I Mean ... !!!
  
I'm NOT Mr. Bean ... !!!
But DO Believe ...

TOO MANY People ...
Are TRAPPED In A Dream ...
  
"Comfort Zone" ... Fools ...
Who ... CLEARLY PROVE ...  
They REFUSE To Use ....
Society's ... Clues ....

That Things Right Now ...
Are ... Just NOT COOL ... !!!!!
  
They PURSUE .... " Segregation " .... ?
Which Means ... " SEPAR ATION " ... !!!
  
When ... What They NEED ...
Is To Try ... " Communication " ...  
  
This Form of ... Education ...
Needs NO Dictation ... !!!
  
But May Just Help ...
To ... Unify Nations ... ?!? ...
  
FORGET Your ******* ... !!!
And Sony's ... Playstation ...  !!!
  
These Are Things ...
Creating ... " Generations " ...
Who ... Don't Want To Speak ...  
  
They Just Wanna BEAT ...
ANYONE They Feel Like ...
On Their ... Local Streets ...  
  
Or ... Jump In A Bed ...
In THAT ...   " INDUSTRY " ...
That Pays Money ...
For ... " ****** Sprees " ...
  
But ...
Where's The Fun ... ?
In Being ... One ...
For Whom *** Becomes ...
A .... " False Action " .... ???
  
And ... What Will They Do ... ?
When They Reach .... 71 .... !?!
  
Sit At Home ...
Watching ... **** Stations ... ?!?
  
I'd Rather ... " Relate " ...
And .... " COMMUNICATE " ...
With A Girl Who Makes ...
Her Brain ... FUNCTION ... !!!
  
And Hasn't Seen ...
... Plastic Surgeons ... !!!
  
See ... Talking Is ...
A .... BETTER WAY ...
To Find ... " THAT ONE " ...
  
YES Your ... " SOULMATE " ... !!!
  
Than ... "Hiding Behind" ...
A .... " Pretty Face " ....
Or LYING So That ...
... You Can Say ...
  
"I Love him cos'
he's got mad cash,
and gives me things,
i've never had !"
  
"He's BUYING YOU !
That makes you GLAD ?"
  
That's The Stuff ...
That ... Makes Me Mad ... !!!
  
MATERIAL ... Girls ... !!!
In Their ... " MATERIAL WORLD " ... !!!!
  
Madonnas' Song ...
Made Girls Think WRONG ... !!!!!!!!!!
  
Like I've Said Before ...
You Really ... CAN'T ...
Be ... WRONG and STRONG ... !!!
  
But Let's Get Back ...
To The ... Point of This ... !!!
  
My ... Written Scripts ...
REJECT .... " Gimmicks " .... !!!
  
I Choose This Way ...
To ... " Communicate " ...  
Cos' My Wordplay's Meant ...
To .... Indicate ...
  
A ... " CONSCIOIUS MIND " ...
Who ... Uses Rhyme ...
To ... BREAK THE MOULD ...
And ... Talk About CRIMES ...
  
Crimes of ... " Humanity " ...
Crimes of .... " Insanity " ....
Before I'm .... A VICTIM ....

of ...

Some Kind of TRAGEDY ... !!!!!
  
I Say These Things ...
To .... " Educate " ....
  
NOT TO Make ... !!!
An ... " Early Date " ...
With Someone Who ...
Has Got ... IRATE ...
Because of Statements ...
That I .... Make .....  

That Could Cause ...
An ... EARLY Fate ... !!!!
  
I'd Rather ... Try ...
To ... COMMUNICATE ... !!!
  
" Wouldn't You ?!? " ...
  
Well ....  
What Do You Say ... ?
  
Let's DO THAT ... !!!
NOT PLAY ... " Mind Games " ...
  
Like Our ... " So Called " ...
... " Heads of State " ....  
  
I Prefer To ... " Smile " ...
And NOT Stand Trial ... !!!
Or .... " Tribulation " ....  
  
Just Because of ....
Views I'm Stating ... !?!
  
" ALL OF YOU ! " .....
  
Are My ... " Relations " ...
  
Don't Run From That ...
Take Time Be ... " Patient " ...
  
My Viewpoint's ... CLEAR ...
And YES ... Quite BLATANT ... !!!
  
We'd ALL BENEFIT ... !!!!!
From MORE .......
  
.... " Communication " ....
As great a unifier as there is, we should use it more proactively ....
