Literature Text

Fighting away the tension
Breaking away.
And even the prospect of wind
Makes the greatest of waves.

Flying away to this peace of mind, and
Piercing the mountains of clouds.
Above the world and beneath the sky.
Piercing the veil from under the shroud.

Look away, look away...

I'm weightlessly drifting to the ground.

When the rest of the world
Is rising above you,
There is only one thing left to do.
Look away, look away...

When the strings of your heart
Are tangled around,
Look away
When you hit the ground.

Blank Pages

It was never meant to be A distortion of reality With the evidence after the fact The story is always in tact Faith in the future Leaping forward Without looking Down Bullets falling on the floor Perfect order Drawn into the plan Cue the press, desensitize Perfect order Drawn into the plan Bound to the script I can't read ahead Leave it to the playwright Blank pages to be read Ink to the paper Action before plot The moral of the story Later to be taught Connecting the dots The picture’s in plain sight Number to number The pencil knows what to write The sequel before it ends The playbook forced to bend Telling tale after tale N

My Rosie

'You got wires, going in, you got wires, coming out of your skin' - Athlete. 'If you should die before I leave, what on earth becomes of me?' - Robbie Williams. I approach the doorway with a bouquet of white tulips and look over at Rose. She looks so serene. So content. Her eyelids closed, her dark hair brushed and parted just the way she likes

Kiss Me

‘Together we were made’ - The Feeling. ‘I know the only thing I've ever found that’s greater than it always sounds is love’ - White Lies. Michael gently covers my eyes with his left hand and carefully directs me forwards by holding onto my side with his right. What is he up to this time? All I k

Her Song.

She holds on to your memory. Keeps your picture near at all times. Her locket. Her bedside. Her piano. Dark curls and green eyes. Perfect white teeth. A sharp chin. Her lover. Arched eyebrows. When she sits down at the keyboard to play; She'll hear the words in her ears: The sound of love. 'I love it when you smile..' Her fingertips grace the keys, black and white. Turning pink and red. 'You ARE beautiful'. The sound of countless sunsets fills the dusty room. Your arm flits around her shoulders, it is but a memory. Just a memory. You are a ghost that listens to her talk to herself. You are the air against her lips. You're nothing but a memory

The old man in the park

There's an old man sitting on a bench in the park. A scruffy dog by his feet, on his lips a witty remark. Not a tooth in his mouth, but he smiles anyway. And if you ask him why, this is what he will say: “I have a song in my head, and a smile on my face. I have lived a full life of both sorrow and grace. I have love so plenty, and stories to share. And I live my life without a worry or care.” His wrinkles are a map of a long, lasting life. Of hard work, three sons, and a now deceased wife. His hearing may be bad, and his vision turning grey. But if you ask him, this is what he will say: “I have seen my share of wonders

To the Lonely

To those who choose loneliness To support their pride May you someday have Nothing left to hide To those who prefer solitude To loss and broken heart May you someday learn that love may hurt But is a healing art To those who choose to stand above The mass of false affection May you someday be held close by one With a real, sincere connection To those who choose independence Over leaning on a lover Or a friend, or a brother May you one day bear a burden That alone you cannot bear And give the ones who love you most A chance to show they care To those who are rejected But cannot seek love anew May you realize there is someo

I Am The Ghost

I am the ghost that walks these halls, The noises you hear behind the walls, The swirls and eddies that chill the air, The squeaks and creaks upon the stairs. I am the presence that makes your skin crawl. I come in the night when the darkness falls. Black is my colour, and black are my calls, Black are the shadows I always wear. I am the ghost. I am the thoughts you don't want to recall, The ones you recoil from, shocked and appalled. I am all of your secret fears and despairs, Every anxious thought, every burden you bear. I am the you that scrawls all over these walls - I am the ghost.

Gender Binary

Recently I realised I wasn’t a proper woman. Everything that was taken for granted as being female, didn’t seem to fit. But at the same time I didn’t completely identify with the idea of a “typical” male. I appreciate that these are just stereotypes, but there’s truth in stereotypes. I have decided I am biologically female but essentially..have no gender. This might be hard for you to understand, it was definitely hard for some people to understand when I’d talked about it to them! It never dawned on me that “the average person” never wondered about what it would be like to be the opposite gender,

Anonymous

I am the girl who hides between moth eaten paper backs And slips into bookstores and devours leather bound spines I am chloroform lips bitten down, red and rosy Ink stained finger tips that fold book pages between my pupils I'm the girl who drowns herself in coffee and cough drops While remaining curled between Tennyson and Steinbeck Wasting days wondering why grass is green And how it can be greener for others and not I Then I realized its all artificial food colouring And polystyrene picket fences Sticky notes yellowed at the edges reminding myself how to smile I've pasted them on my skin in makeshift paper Mache armour But l

ugly

I'm ugly I'm cold I cry I wilt I shiver Waiting Wanting Hoping Wishing This pain will end I look in the mirror and see a monster A monster you created A monster full of self hate No self worth And now you want nothing to do with what u created I came out to ugly. Can't even stand the sight This isn't right I wasn't supposed to be this way Maybe one day The mirror won't show the monster you made. Maybe one day the ugly will go away

I Hate This

Stupid emotions Stupid memories Just leave me already Let me be Stop clouding my mind Stop fogging up reality I'm sick of this place This endless solitude This morose prison I hate this I hate where I am I hate what I've become I try to leave the shadows behind But they still follow me

So I Bleed
