He didn't know how to write
Not even a clue
Then she broke his heart
Broke it right into
He had to get the pain out of his mind
What could he do
So everyone laughed
At the poems of a fool
They paid him no mind
They knew he would fail
Look at all the time
He has spent on an empty trail
His words have nowhere to go
And he doesn't know
What everyone always knew
So goes the poems of a fool

Tell me
what would you do
if you knew
that I was
would you scream
would you shout
would you hurt
me
inside
I am broken
outside
all that you will see
is a sad tired lonely smile
as I pack my bags
to go
to another place
and where ever I land
it will be then
I will have to decide
do I stay
to try
with all the pain
that it brings
to put back together
my broken fractured
wings
or just leave
my body
and my feelings
behind

I've woken up, my eyes still closed
The duvet wrapped round tight
I don't believe the comfort
After such a chilly night
I'm in a home, the doors can lock
Security I've got
And all this keeps the bad outside
And nervous I am not.
A lucky one is what I am
My life is not so bad
But spare a thought for those outside
Comfort i wish they had
We see them as we walk through town
They're lying everywhere
But nearly all ignore them
Acting as If they're not there
From quite a lot of people
Get a job is what they think
Or what's the reason that they're here
Did they do drugs or drink
We shouldn't put a label on
The fact is, it is tough
To never have a proper bed
And always sleeping rough
And do not think you're different
It could happen to you
Just one bad time being down on luck
And you'll be out there too
So next time when you see them there
Don't act like you used to
Just take some time and think about
The tough life they're been through.

About this poem:
I wrote this on a cold wet night, the rain was lashing off the window. I was thinking what the poor people roaming the streets were going through

Time stood still with the echo of your thoughts,
Lingering softly and fast in my heart,
The moments passed and the minutes gone
Yet for every word I read It is YOU I see
I ask the Milky way above to try teaching me how to forget ,
But the Universe responds I got Multiverse instead
I shyly asked Venus If you're there ,
She said nah nah why you will ?
Now I got nothing but left with meteor dust .
I as ask the moon and stars above
If they can see you from afar
Moon just smiled and stars just twinkled
I said I am not joking now for my light years is running
To evaluate this crazy thoughts
I tried Math and Chemistry ,
I whispered ohh Einstein my Einstein I forgat I nosebleed in Math,
Tired I watched Star wars
I got this answer
You are missed by my saber ??????

Please tell me what is in their minds
Just what are they thinking
Attacking lots of innocents
Who didn't do a thing
It's turkey now, such tragedy
The loss of life immense
Those people didn't do a thing
It just does not make sense
They all got up, went on their way
And lived their normal lives
not knowing others had a plan
Where only few survives
How can they be so heartless
By attacking those they could
It feels like they're just yearning
for the sight of people's blood
My heart goes out to all who died
Their families and friends
They shouldn't have to go through this
For them it never ends
It's happening all round the world
Yet none of us have heard
I don't believe that, that is right
We all should spread the word
We need to let them know we care
That all life is the same
For those of you who don't believe
Well that is just a shame

Just look what's happening everywhere
The terrorists at will
Are targeting without a thought
Their object just to kill
They're murdering whoever 's there
It doesn't matter who
Men, women and children
To them, any soul will do
So can you blame the people who
Have seen this all before
No matter where they are
They fear it landing at their door
And then they start to think the worse
Till it effects each day
And also ruins any thoughts
They had of going away
They're thinking of what if they come
And do it in this place
They're doing it almost everywhere
To every other race
Why go outside, why take a chance
Today, us, it could be
And all those hours in the day
With some we may not see
Will we be safe, If we don't move
Do these four walls protect
Will putting our heads down keep us
From fears that we suspect
Those thoughts of what could happen
Keep us lying in our bed
An overwhelming feeling
That we may just end up dead
These fears are so irrational
The chances are so rare
But that just doesn't register
To people everywhere
The only thing that's on their minds
Is worry and bad thoughts
Of what could happen to us
If surrounded by gunshots
We shouldn't let that fear control
We've our own lives to save
Don't let it stop the things we do
Or change how we behave
To let it in means they have won
From many miles away
But not if you just live your lives
And wear a smile each day

No love
No love
For a long long time
Nothing to hear
To touch my ear
A voice of someone kind
Like a lost lonely bird starring at the snow
With no will to fly
As the snowflakes swirl they cling to my eyes
No love
No love
No love for a long long time

Hopelessness that engulfed me long ago continues to take a toll
succumbing is imminent if I don't find the cure for my ailing soul
It's gotten more arduous keeping at bay the indignation I deeply feel
constant unwanted thoughts of dying have become scary real
I battle Demons like every person does in some capacity I'd surmise
you can't truly know others because all have something requiring disguise
For way too many years I have contemplated giving in to suicide
I'm still here because strength I've questioned is very alive inside
The will to keep on living was THE one thing I hoped to never lose
my life has been inundated with misery I didn't willingly choose
There are numerous reasons I can't ascend from the dark pit of grief
in my most desperate times I've called on a mythical god for relief
I have been unable to secure joy but thankfully it occasionally stops by
absolute detestation for our nefarious world tops all the reasons why
More often I find myself caring less about waking to another tomorrow
pain heightens knowing so many others are suffering even worse sorrow
To everyone like me struggling to endure this every day fight
'HOPE' we must somehow never allow to escape our sight
This utterly sinister life doesn't resemble a "Gift" at all
when you fall and feel you've reached to tired to stand...Crawl
Let the unconditional love of family be reason you stay
we can certainly wish all misery is going to end someday

I'm starting to dim now,
I'm being dragged along.
The hurt I've been endowed,
sadly sings it's song.
Crystal tears are falling,
then cease to well as much.
Somethings happening to me,
my heart is in drought.
And it feels like,
I'm dying inside.
I've lost my want to fight,
does this mean I have died?
I have now stumbled,
into a black hole.
Let go of my hand,
I can't break your hold.
It's not hard to see,
I'm in way too deep.
Please now let me go,
can't take you down with me.
All the stars around me,
wink out one by one.
Darkness encroaching,
hides the light from the sun.
Such a deafening sound,
the silence is so loud.
I'm being dragged around,
way up here beyond the clouds.
Closing my eyes now,
curl up into a ball.
I shut my fears down,
and don't let myself call.
Holding tears back,
keep my pain inside.
Universe turns black,
I just count down time.
And I fall to sleep,
I live in my dreams.

Sometimes I wanna find release
At times I wanna shout
Inside I'm crying all the time
I want to let it out
I cry at what the world's become
I cry because it's bad
I cry because what could be good
It's what we wish we had
I cry at all the loss of life
I cry, it makes no sense
I cry for all the children
Wasted lives, the innocence
I cry because I feel depressed
I cry as I'm alone
I cry while talking to myself
While in an empty home
I cry because it gives relief
I cry to let it go
I cry to show I really care
For what, we all should know
