On Corruption

Yes

We should all

Go out

And vote

But really,

What’s the point?

When those in power

The depths

Do scour

And criminals

Forever appoint

Anonymously Happy

Do you think

It helps

He said

Writing these wry

Little observations

Well, I would 

Rather that

She said

Than suffer

Endless conversations

Passing It On

I look back now

On that day and laugh

As I picture me cutting

Myself in half

Trying to please

You and your friends

Desperate, somehow

To make amends

But now I know

It wasn’t down to me

And I’ve got myself better

Mentally

So I think of that time

With a grin

Knowing it’s your turn to feel

That beast within

Blood Money

I can’t take it

She said

It doesn’t feel right

I’m really not proud

Of what I did

That night

You’ve no need to feel bad

He said

Or have any regrets

Just enjoy your freedom

As you’ve paid off

Your debts

2.4 Children

We must catch up sometime

She said

I miss spending time with you

If that was all I had at home

She said

Then I would miss me too

Liberté d’Expression

I know that it must seem

She said

Like I’m arrogant and self centered

But that’s not it at all

She said

I just write how I feel uncensored

Sweet Dreams

I hope

You’re sleeping soundly

All tucked up

In your bed

I hope that guilt

Isn’t shouting too loudly

Inside your pretty

Little head

I hope

You’re remembering proudly

All those actions

That you took

And I hope

You’re realising quite roundly

How I no longer

Give a fuck

Unhealthy Pursuits

Perhaps I should climb

A mountain

Or sail off

On a round the cruise

Anything to relieve

This having to grieve

After all,

What have I got to lose?

‘I Could Be Wrong / I Could Be Right…’

The
pressure
is on
to find
meaning

In
this so
called
life of
mine

But
I just
can’t
help but
feeling

That
it’s a
total
waste
of time

I Won’t Falter

I’ll never be

The bigger person

I won’t take

The higher moral ground

As I know for a fact

Any contrition is an act

And so my rationale is sound

Not Then / Not Now / Not Ever

What will we do when this feud ends?

Just sit around and all be friends?

Forget the hatred and bile that’s been spilled,

And hope our relationships we can rebuild?

Well it’s not for me,

You can count me out.

Of that there can be absolutely no doubt.

Because I will hold onto this grudge forever.

And I want nothing to do with you whatsoever.

Insignificant

You’d love to think

You’re in my head

Day in and

Day out

But the truth is

For last few years

It’s been so easy

To block you out

My Truth

I wish
I could
say I was
sorry

I wish
I could
say that
I care

But
I’m
actually
not

And
I really
don’t

So to
lie
would
be unfair

A Clean Getaway

Thankfully

I made the decision

To live without

Your endless derision

Before any more of my time

Was wasted

And

…In With The New

Who cares if I stayed in bed all day

Watching The World’s Strongest Man

I did it because I enjoy it

I did it because I can

Out With The Old…

At least yesterday

I missed your feast

It was always the part

I liked the least

Faking a smile

Whilst passing the peas

Thank fuck that now

I can eat in peace

Best Thing I Ever Did

Full of your own

Self importance

Never short

Of a winning performance

You had vanity at your core

All those years

You implored us

Until that day

We saw your distortions

And I walked out the door

I’m Fine Thanks

I’m sorry you think I’ve missed you

As I haven’t given one fuck

If you thought you mattered

And my life is shattered

Well then, you’re shit out of luck

“Feeling Good As Hell”

You may think

That I’m left whimpering

But I can promise you

I am not

For I no longer need suffer

Your simpering

Which was worth

Every inch we fought

The High Road

You can just

Fuck off now

As I

Have had enough

I no longer

Give a shit

About all this

Selfish stuff

But you should know

Just one thing

And yes,

I will be blunt

Maybe I wasn’t

Always right

But you

Were always a cunt

As the land of the free

But that’s not always how

It looks to me

Clarity

In the time it took

To load the gun

His demons had won

Mutually Exclusive

Between your happiness

And mine

I’d pick my freedom

Everytime

Last In Line

If you continue to push this

She said

And I am forced to choose

You really should be prepared

She said

For the fact I won’t pick you

“Loved Up / Doved Up”

It was so much easier

Back then

As we fell in love

With our friends

Now don’t get me wrong

The drugs played a part

But we were also more open

To sharing our hearts

Love In The 90’s

No one could wear

A band t-shirt like you

With your longer hair

And grey cardigan too

That smile so shy

Those Doc Marten boots

It is no wonder why

We were in such cahoots

Dead To Me

It was definitely you

I saw tonight

And I’ll admit

I took great delight

In walking by

Without a care

Just a smug little smile

And my nose in the air

Arm in arm

With my actual friends

As they’re all I need

In the end

At A Glance

If it
was you
I saw
in that
doorway
tonight

I hope
my presence
gave
you a
fright

And you
realise
now
that
I’m
happy

And
that it’s
just you
I don’t
want
to see

It’s not my fault

If you’re offended

By what I say or how I say it

It isn’t my job

It’s my responsibility to display it

If you’re worried who’ll win

In the end

Then you absolutely needn’t be

For it may look like I haver

Liberation

Best thing I ever did

Was to cut you dead

Not just out of my life

But also out of my head

Done

Fuck you,

And your pathetic little smile.

Fuck you,

And your supercilious bile.

Fuck you,

And your disingenuous chatter.

Fuck you,

For you no longer matter,

At all,

To me.

Peacetime

None of us won the battle

And certainly not the war

But my conscience has been

Squeaky fucking clean

Since showing you all the door

Whilst

I’ve
realised
it’s all

You’ll Never See Me Again

The best thing that I ever did

Was my own fear to subdue

It may have took me a while

But nothing beats the smile

I now wear in spite of you

Soon

so much
better
without
all your
bullshit
in it

Now
I know
for sure
that

Weight Off Your Shoulders

I hope that now

You’re away from me

You are enjoying

Your life carefree

I hope you don’t

Think of me

For I’m standing tall

Just as I should be

The Burden

If
only
I knew
what to do

I
would
not be so
reliant on you

If
only
I knew

It
would be
so much easier

If
only
I knew

I’d

for your help
and set you free

A Day Reclaimed

When asked to describe

The best day of your life

I’m sure you’ve got many replies

When you got married,

The birth of your kids

Or some such equally befitting prize

Well I know that for me

It was when I chose to be free

And told those fuckers I’d never be back

And ever since that time

I’ve been on cloud nine

With no fear of that panic attack

Family Dinners

Can I be arsed with this?

No.

Do I still have to go?

Yes.

Fuck.

“The only difference as compared with the old, outspoken slavery is this, that the worker of today seems to be free because he is not sold once for all, but piecemeal by the day, the week, the year, and because no one owner sells him to another, but he is forced to sell himself in this way instead, being the slave of no particular person, but of the whole property-holding class.”
