The fight is long The fight is hard The fight is tiring The fight is risky The fight seems never ending The fight is a patience tester But I have a strong hard fight with cerebral palsy 💚

The Fight
if I keep moving I’ll forget it started as a stroll through my memories the complete collection of our friendship our moments recorded transmitted at night If I keep moving I’ll forget It was then a slow jog, a steady projection forward through repeated images of us a job through our conversations and with equal speed my replies to your salvations If I keep moving I’ll forget I’m running now and out of breath Escaping these meadows is harder than I thought My leisurely pace through your actions has confused me The trees seem like strangers trying to touch me The grass blades pass like a covered memory I’m on a train seven hundred miles an hour The sun sets behind me and yet I’m strolling through your music I need to keep moving to forget you because you never even remembered me

Dear you, I know you hate the way clothes fit but you run around calling out confidence, you hypocrite. Stop covering your face with hair people just don't care. Dear you, I know you count the numbers and your days praying you'd be lighter so small you might float away. Dear you, I know in the mirror you're not gentle hurling abuse at the person in the reflection are you hoping through rejection she'll change? Even when you don't say the words they linger in your throat waiting to - Dear you, hating yourself is easy you're full of questions and hate 'put down the plate' hating yourself is getting into bed in darkness and listening to raindrops Dear me, please stop. You're tired of fighting everyone and then yourself You're tired of catching your reflection looking at you for some validation i'm yearning for love and i'm tired of starvation Dear you, you will get out of bed and open the blinds, you will make it better I'm sorry for all i've put you through Dear you, step-by-step unacounted for, I will look after you.

Dear you,
I will not forget You called me beautiful and I think about it every night Twisting and turning in my sheets I fell in love with you slowly then all at once You called me smart and stupid and you blushed I fell in love with you so easily I will not forget when you lay in my bed till 5 am I wanted you you talked the night away eating chips Wishing I didn’t have to leave you It felt for real You said you were glad you met me I wanted to say so much more I will not forget when your eyes lingered over my lips I should have told you I fell in love with you long before and now I’ve left but darling I will not forget

I will not forget
I’m in the pool dancing and then I’m not My mind is far and my body is static I stand there but where? I’m so lost but I haven’t moved I’m at the bar talking and then I’m not My mind is travelling and my body is marble the words stop coming because I’m not here But where am I? I’m reading, devouring the chapter and then I’m Not My eyes glitter over and my body remains I travelled away but I don’t know where Any empty true nothing The world moved and progressed The people around me walked and talked But I stood there fixed Thinking of nothing Going anti clock wise in a wave of progression I’m disassociating again. I don’t know why I don’t know where And all I seem to do is glare maybe into the nothingness , maybe into the past I’m writing rhymes in my pad and then I’m not the pen and the lines evanesce I’d like to come back.

disassociating
could it be? it’s been almost a year since I opened that door the bolted, scared and chained door that boxes my heart he carelessly lied all over it he let it whither by refusing to whisper back to it could it be you creaked it open in a year i didn’t know what you’d do could it be I feel something for you do you do too? these smirks and glances could I play my chances? your affection and care seem more or am I so empty i pray they are am I so deprived of feelings since being a ***** that your kindness is mistaken for more could it be you want more than what we have? because I sure do When you left her, I knew it before you told me my stomach dropped and ached swirling like Poseidon’s pools, trapping victims in its gushes I thought, I hoped it was for me but you must still love her I think about you, about us, about words left unsaid in our lingering goodbye when you called me your best friend - you paused- you looked into my eyes and opened your lips- why didn’t you just say it why didn’t you tell me more instead I defend our friendship I’ll make you a dozen playlists darling if it helps you feel lighter could it be you feel something more for me? because I’m afraid to say it out loud but I may have fallen in love with you

could it be?
I use men over and over again and they don't mind I'm humane and kind I don't cross boundaries I'm just a guest we both know it and it's already been addressed. When he undressed me he didn't ask about my father. When he kissed me he didn't press into my heart because that place is very ****** dark. I use men over and over again to feel something to have fun it doesn't really matter, because we're all agreed, this is something we both need. But you pushed and shoved, smashed and cannonballed my wall, I didn't want you to ask or see behind my mask, And even though I fought this fight with laughter against your shooting questions, you pushed and shoved against my door to find out more. You were sweet I must admit, romantic and gentle, but there is a reason everything is compartmental. because when you left the next day you didn't stop to check the doorway, where you carelessly left behind my open heart and eyes. I didn't want to share my insides because as you walked away you didn't check to see what damage you had done. Asking questions you didn't want the answers to. I use men but I don't ask more than I'm ready to receive, and they agree I'm not trying to deceive, but you blew the doors of pandoras box and left me with the mess that I now have to try and repress

used me
hospitals remind me of you the frail, the weak, the fed up It’s been a year and I still think about you It’s been a year and my chest still feels heavy I tried my best to be happy and I still do every day but the thoughts of you rush to the front My mind traces the memory of you in the bed The beeping of the oxygen tanks Your muddled voice Your surprisingly warm hand but pink nose the lump in my throat is supposed to go away, when will it leave me just like you did? It’s been a year and I still find myself crying in bed, in the dark and busy bars, on busses and long walks I want to hear your voice and stupid comments about greek politics I know you’re resting in peace I whisper quietly every night to you in the stars but I still miss you tell me how do I learn to rest in peace too, knowing you’re gone?

rest in peace
I’m over loving you I know I’m over loving you because when I look at the space in my bed It isn’t your outline I know because I smile more often everyday I know because I wanted him to hold my hand even though he wasn’t you I do think about you in the strangest times, on planes, on trains and in coffee shops but as a passing memory A traveller exploring a city but never experiencing its true delights I know because I have grown up and I realise loving you was toxic When I catch myself adoring you again, on your pedestal I pause and wish you well I know I’m over loving you because I want the best for you now, and I know now, that isn’t me

I’m over loving you
If you want to feel come out with me just for the company I promise I don’t always bite back and fight. The raging fire is subsided she is neutral, for now. Is this happiness? I’d like to hold your hand against mine Feel the creases and the patterns of your skin, even just for the night. If you want to feel come out with me, I know it’s far too soon to say I like you but the way you make me feel I’d like to hold your hand against mine The last thing I want is to confuse you darling but it’s far too soon to say can’t we just hold hands Do I cross your mind as much as you run around mine? When we kiss I can’t stop laughing Is this happiness? I’ve been lost for a while, I may still be lost but I think I’d like to hold your hand just for a little while.

hold your hand
Forty days have passed and I still think about you every night As I lay down in my bed As I lay down with my thoughts Forty days have passed and I don’t wear black everyday But I feel that shade inside Plain and simple Dark and lonely There’s nothing I can do to change it You’re gone and that’s permanent The finality is jarring Forty days have passed but every night I close my eyes and see them throw dirt over you My heart sinks and lowers down my rib cage echoing your coffin I know that wasn’t you, you left us already by then Yet why does my mind keep returning to that scene Forty days have passed but Cyprus doesn’t feel quite like home anymore Neither does London. Forty days have passed and I keep finding my eyes stinging and breath escaping I don’t know what to do, I don’t think any of the family know what to do now you’re gone I suppose just carry on Forty days have passed and my black clothes mean nothing to these people or my friends but you know and so do I Every night I look at those constellations you pointed with one hand and the other holding your cigarette When I see the stars shine It’s your sign Six months have passed and I know you’re here but I can’t bring myself to take off this black just yet

forty days
I'm so tired all the time, wishing it was my bedtime So uninspired and heavy my thoughts push my head further into the pillow gravity hooks its steel claws into my skin keeps dragging my mind keeps lagging my eyes sting and cry perhaps I need a lullaby? I'm so tired all the time, my eyelids are in a constant fight against the glowing light i feel all this guilt as I sink further into my quilt Why do my limbs feel numb and my limbs like they will collapse perhaps I should get up? I'm just so tired all the time, yet why can I not sleep when I'm already in this deep I'm so tired all the time, perhaps this time if I close my eyes sleep will creep upon me

You mean nothing to me anymore I am no longer your ***** go and tie that noose around your neck you bet I won't be there I think about you and cannot remember why why did I let myself cry why did I let myself repeatedly die You mean nothing to me anymore even your name is just an eyesore I walk with pride with each stride no longer sunken and petrified of your inner Jekyll and Hyde You mean nothing to me anymore and with that statement its the end of this cold war I don't know what my future has in store but I'm ready to go explore I'm ready to walk this road alone You mean nothing to me anymore I know on this path i'll fall down and ask what's this all for with disillusioned hopes and words- I miss you come back I'll get back on track and realise You may mean nothing to me but I mean the world to me and its about time I became a ******* priority.

You mean nothing
I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you when i awake up and go to sleep, i close my eyes and just see these black sheep when i'm lying down alone where the hell is my backbone? I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you even after i had seen him i find myself wondering where you have been finding myself dreaming in-between his childlike charms and your arms I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you that time we spent in bed all day and night yelling **** the daylight and ***** the moonlight because we have each other and it will be alright I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you that time you left me crying because you had better things to do that time you left when i needed you the most and you came back after like a really ****** ghost I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you but i would also be ******* joking if i said i wanted you back i've enjoyed this good old throwback but don't confuse thinking with missing you left and you stink of regret but you've become a memory, a silhouette I would be lying if i said i wasn't thinking about you but you'd always fall through and i'm quite busy with someone who cares because he hasn't caused me any nightmares and i'm actually proud to be called theirs.

thinking about you
I don't want to walk in to a room full of strangers have you even thought of the dangers? Well I have at 3 am each night they sure do bring me great delight I don't want to walk in oh my god give me some gin They won't like me I'm just a wannabe Imposter syndrome I just wanna go home I don't want to walk in They're looking at the white's of my eyes I don't mean to dramatise but I might die I don't want to talk in and I can feel my chest I'm so ******* stressed I'm walking in Is this auto-pilot because this is your captain speaking and get ready for a crash and ****** burn I've reached the point of no return Walk in you big ******* baby whats the worst that could happen? I talk too fast with too much passion? so what if they don't like me I already sound like banshee At least try to be care-free I can't make any guarantees but step by step in to the room it won't be all doom and gloom Just walk in and see you might even make a friend in the end who didn't want to walk in to too

I don't want to walk in
I can't feel anything What joy could it bring When you're not there And empty lies your chair I can't feel anything But I tried to have a fling Kissing him to feel inside Even when my tears hadn't dried But I know all within myself had died I can't feel anything Now that you're gone I just can't carry on I can feel it missing every time we're reminiscing I can't feel anything but I know that's a lie Because every time I look at the sky   I simply cry as I can't bring myself to say goodbye

I can't feel
I joke I make a great punch, but if you knew me you'd have a hunch something is very wrong, when I am very gone. I begin sinking in my chair my emotions are very bare I feel my heartbeat. This liquid courage is a cheat the after taste is not very sweet, I drank a glass, or two it's all gone a bit askew. This liquid courage is a cheat I still don't feel complete I drank a glass, or two maybe I don't have a clue. I just wanted to talk without thinking I didn't want to feel like I was sinking everyone else in the room seems fine maybe I should just grow a spine but it's not even nine and my blood is half wine. I think I'm drowning, why is everyone around me frowning? This liquid courage is a cheat I just wanted to feel upbeat maybe if I reapply my lipstick- wait, I'm going to be sick This liquid courage is a cheat it leaves you downbeat, you need to find your own two feet Get up the chair, brush your hair and then everyone there will become aware. Don't worry about what to wear, because they'll all stare. Be bare and share, you don't need this much liquid courage but one small glass I won't discourage.

Liquid courage
There is another chapter in your story Discover your new territory Don’t look back, become an amnesiac These pages are your remedy Forget the despair and the lost prayer look elsewhere Start with the first page and dull your rage This new chapter will be your sage Put the old pages to rest on sundown And at the break of dawn you won’t have drowned Floating in bliss with your pages as a raft Expel your craft Release the ink bound in chains within your fingers Rebound for fresh ground The sea washes away the sand Let it wash away your mind Time will find you a place to stand and I will have your hand Yesterday is dead; no more tears shall be shed Abandon that past dread The ink is being shed Your new chapters wont go unread Don’t look back, but look ahead.

a new chapter
I hope you know How much I care Although I may not show it You mean more to me than air When I don't speak to you it's such a scare I hope you know How much I care I swear without you I would tear You hold my world together dear, You're my glue it's very clear You've replaced my spear with something sincere I just want you to be near I hope you know How much I care You are the answer to my prayer My love I just want to declare My emotions I want to lay bare Although I find it hard With these bars around- I always have my guard But please don't just discard me I hope you know How much I care I could stare into yours eyes where I'd be lost wondering all day Everyone else would just fade away I close my eyes when you're not there And I remember the memories we share There's always something in the air You may be unaware But you have always been there I treasure you more than the moon does the stars Everything is ours I hope you know How much I care I may be attached to you like a heart to a chest But you treat what I kept suppressed like it was blessed I just have one request I hope you know How much I care Because for you, wise guy I would even die. I hope you know How much I care.

I hope you know
Wake up Come on, we have a busy day Come on, you'll waste your day away, We can go faraway or to a cafe We can play or do something cliche Wake up Get up I know it's hard and the world feels like a dump Make that small jump I won't judge if you firstly trudge Once you're up, have courage Once you've gotten up things will be sunnier Life could be funnier Wake up Come on, I want to help you smile I know the world is hostile But it will be worthwhile I want to be the ketchup to your chip Come on, let's go on a trip If you get tired you can relax in my imagination You'll still have my full admiration Slowly realising this affirmation Is my own situation That would be nice, If I listened to my own advice and woke up.

Wake up
I have a bath everyday Washing off yesterday's decay Washing my hair, From today's despair Shaving away, My memory bouquet. They say water has powers I hope it empowers Momentarily drowning Counting One Two Three Maybe I could dissapear? Quickly I reappear Watch the soap grow, Like my hope. The waves soon become a tsunami I seem to have an immunity, Like new opportunity. The water calms, unity returns The water no longer burns. My fingers are wrinkled I must return to the real world Leaving behind my dream world with the pull of a plug and a whirl, My amniotic birth has brought me back and ready for tomorrow's attack.

The Big Bang the way you slam the door I just ignore because I want more The Big Bang what you do to my heart when we are apart I'm under your spell like a dart to a board The Big Bang when you drag your cigarette stay for another hour or two maybe we can listen to a cassette Who knows whats next? the universe and I are just as complex The Big Bang standby the derby can still fall The Big Bang is the reason I survive but the reason I'm alive is because you arrived
