Why do my eyes waver in salt water? It's just a concept I don't really understand when The ocean in my mind is dry but My eyes? So wet. And yet, fire roars through an ***** named Passion - and the sand beneath my feet burns their soles and tries to Penetrate my soul But I have buckets, Tucked under two lids, That can spill with or without my will. They can put out a flame, both good and bad. A blessing and a curse. I'm told that fish can't climb trees but I have neither arms nor gills you see I have been immobilised, And it's down to a monochrome smear on a canvas with so much potential; A plethora of 'dos' and 'don'ts'; The slaughter of a lamb. I would like to stand in solidarity with each martyr of idiosyncrasy. I wonder if anything we ever do will be enough.

Sixth form
Please take away these storms I can't survive another thunderstom Everyday I stand closer to the platform I don't want to perform Please take away these storms I don't want to be behind a door On the floor I just can't cry out Every time I shout the thunder bangs throughout You're all shutout Please take away these storms I can't survive them anymore I want to go through each day screaming and exploring Yet the thunder is outpouring This is too crippling Please take away these storms
