The kind of restlessness that does not bring you sleep
The kind of love that weighs your heart down, leave you to sink
The kind of tears that never dry, flowing abandoned and endlessly
The kind of hurt that spreads throughout your body, leaving you crippled
The kind of smile that always fails to touch your eyes
The kind of time you always keep running out of
The kind of life that kills you slowly
Notes (optional)
Bones under my house
Bones, many of them
Buried by dogs
Brothers and sisters
Proud of their shame
Ashamed of their pride.

chasing tails at the party
gorging on what's on offer
the girls were so easy
it's like we shouldn't have bothered

the guys at the party tried so hard
but it was easy to give it up
a six pack and shots of Tequilla
made us easy from the start


driving down the 94
got the stereo on repeat
every nasty word of each song
beats a hollow path to my feet

because my mouth is humming
and the playback is da tune
that keeps his feet tapping
wanting his **** just to swoon

and take me to the five and dime
where I
think we first met
he let me lick his lollipop
oh how easy it was to forget


Oh ****! She be holding a piece
to the head of a stupid man
someone working for minimum wage
but I can totally understand

How come she be tripping me
while I be raging in my jeans
sitting tight in the parking lot
watching her in her Greed

but in my Gluttony
I be acting ten times the ****
waiting 'til she pulls the trigger
Wondering if that is all she got
Greed - wanting what others have.
Gluttony - taking more than you need.

No one can understand what you're going through...

Is the comment I just read!

No one can understand...*

But I can.

A single mother, forced by necessity
To be, mother, father, right and wrong
Standing beside your children
as they laid your body, so strong
into the ground... The cold ground
Gone forever, lost to sound
Lost to the screams of a heart torn apart
Deaf to the pleas to come back to us
Silently, as you lay down to rest
You left behind the part of you that was always the best.

Now, there's nowhere left to go
The empty lounge, the empty bed
The empty path to walk alone?

Where do I go now?

Now that your lying quietly
hidden from the demons
that arrested your life?

Where do I go now?

Your presence was a dark stain
upon my soul.
Why must I pay the price?

Where do I go now?

from the deepest darkness
of the greatest sorrow
winked a little light,
calling
*"I will find you"
and it's echo surrounds me like a soft blanket on the coldest night. I wait for it to be right
~Helen Doogan 18/05/2015~
I have a dream, no not that of Martin Luther king,
but that which is beautifully flawed, making you perfect.

I am no writer so bear with me as I try to put into words
That which my heart cries out. I pray that I will one day find you
And not because I was searching but because it is written.
I pray that our friendship will not be a toxic one
Where one gives and the other takes it all.

Oh dear future friend,
I pray that you won’t spend so much time self-
Proclaiming your worth that you forget mine,
When in matter of fact we are all worth life to the one
Whose opinion only matters.

I pray that you will love me enough to not have to
Play the victim always, nor I for that matter.
I pray you won’t have to raise your voice,
Just so your opinion matters for no one knows it all.
I pray you won’t abuse my nature so much that even
The lashes I’ve taken have no hold on your words.
I pray I won’t go to bed hurt because you failed to care

Oh dear future friend,
I pray you will show me my wrongdoings without condemning me,
Or proving again how much more righteous you are than I am.
I pray you won’t count the grains of rice I lend from you
To one day reclaim them all.

Oh dear future friend, I have a dream.
A dream where I will wake up everyday wanting
to try and be a better friend to you
Than I was the day before.
I pray that you will not only remember that you have a friend in me
Only when storms surround you, but that you will remember me too
While you dance in the summer rains lit with rainbows.
Dear future friend, I pray that we will write our own meaning
Of friendship, one that has no laws or subtle terms
And conditions applied.

But mostly oh dear friend
I pray that we will become friends
Not ‘because of’ but because
Just because

Dear future friend
I think I’m already in love with the thought of meeting you……..

Some moments don't really fade away,
They stand still and stop your way,
Some make you think deep,and forever stay,
Some conquer your mind and just make you lay all day,
They never leave your way,
They make your mouth shut and let your heart say,
Some make you soft like a clay,
And some simply make your day! ♡
