Telling It As I See It

It’s not that I’m inconsiderate

Or incapable of being kind

But when I’m surrounded by idiots

I just have to speak my mind


Never A Truer Word (Unspoken)

“If you haven’t got anything nice to say,

Don’t say anything at all.”

One Or The Other

The urge to bow out

With a bang

Has been never fucking ending

So let’s wait and see

Whether, tomorrow, said spree

Will be a killing or spending


The Spree

I’m
leaving
first
thing
in the
morning

And I’m
unsure
if I’ll
return

For I
have
so
many
scores
to settle

And a
shitload
of bridges
to burn

Poorly Made

It’s not that I have

A heart of stone

I just don’t have one

At all…


The Driest Of Wells

Sometimes I wish

That I cared

About everything

You said

But as I have

Already declared

I’ve no tears left

To shed

To explain why

But I’ll stand by this

Until the day I die

Crossed Wires

We put so much faith

In the words we use

When they’re so open

To misinterpretation

We quite often think

We all mean the same thing

When it’s actually just down

To perception


Meaningless

I
really
do love
you

She
said

I love
you
with
all my
heart

But
you
also
love
tomato

So
this

Sincerity

If we speak to them

With smiles on our faces

There’s no chance we’ll get back

Into their good graces

We need to show them

Our regrets are huge

Even if that’s only

Half of the truth


Remorse

As we
return
to face
the music

Remember,
this is
no time

The Sabattical Leave Request

Most days I do

Enjoy my work

And I welcome

The distraction

But as time goes by

It’s getting harder to try

And fake a positive reaction


(Anti) Social Work

I would
be

So
much
more

I didn’t

Can look away

When the misery

Ensues

But these aren’t just

Words to me

They are actually

My issues

Although

your
writing
talent
genuinely
quite
considerable

Reading
your
words
over
again
really
does just
make me
miserable

En Garde

I don’t often achieve perfection

But I think this is pretty much it

A healthy dose

Of what I feel the most

With just a little rapier-like wit


The Queen Bee

Oh, I’ll point many a finger

In order to right these wrongs

But for her I’ll reserve

The most passion and verve

And the sharpest of razor like tongues

Your own itch scratched

I’ll be left there alone

Lying in the wet patch

Devastating

Washing your hands

Checking the locks

Labelling your cans

Sorting your socks

You call them all

Your ‘OCD’

But you’ve got no idea

What it really means


All The 8’s

And so it begins

The incessant counting

The overthinking

The fear mounting

That impending doom

Will certainly strike

If I do not get

This pattern right

You have to accept

When you eat your friends

That they’re pretty adept

At taking revenge

Empty Threats

Obviously I’m speaking

Metaphorically, of course

I wouldn’t want to hurt you

With any kind of violent force

But I don’t want to come to your party

I’ve no interest in being your friend

I just hoped you’d realise

That you’re so thouroughly despised

I never want to see you again


RSV P(iss Off)

What are you
inviting me for?

After all
this time

I was sure you

Not unless I’d
get two free shots

With a fucking

Calling you each

And every name

But perhaps I’ve been mean

Because it’s actually been

My attempt

To shift the blame

Until
