At dawn
The doves hum,
The rivers run,
The mothers sing,
The roosters scream
We all continue on

Mid-day
The bees hum,
The children run,
The wind chimes sing,
The cicadas scream
We all continue on

Afternoon
The workers hum,
The engines run,
The radios sing,
The sirens scream,
We all continue on

Midnight
The clubs hum,
The late shifts run,
The crickets sing,
The concerts scream,
We all continue on

Forever
The world will hum,
The clocks will run,
The life will sing,
The death will scream,
We all continue on
I must have done something messed up in some past life
Because i don't know about this.

I know I ain't any moral saint, but need i be this far from bliss?

Jheeze the worst part is it ain't that bad, or at least it's not so diff.

There's a million million other ones trucking on this with this Sisyphus myth.

Life is a puppeteers stage, so why you shocked at all the rigging?

Don't wanna sell your soul or your brothers? Here's a credit *****, get digging.

To heck with it and to heck with you, if a loans my loam I'll use it to sow anew.

A bean stalk for me then some more for youse, there's giants need slaying so's some slaying lets do.
I've been trying to start a social project for about 4 years now and have taken about 1/2 a micro-step forward. I've tried nearly a million times but maybe it's the millionth and 1st time that works.
If you can relate to this struggle never back down.
Tomorrow will always be different from today.
Tomorrow might be your chance.

Being bipolar is an emotional ride
Everyday you feel differently elevated yet so alive
I used to feel like I had to be high to get by
Letting these emotions clash together and collide
It was an amazing experience to let them slip on by
Just getting that weight lifted off my mind
But as time passes I’m learning to let it thrive
Because being bipolar will always be part of my life
I shouldn’t feel the need to apologize for my state of mind
Depression, mood swings and anxiety fly on by
Working on myself I for once in my life feel alive
Sober thoughts and a healthier mind
Time to enjoy this little joy ride
I’m starting to feel like myself again, oh how I’ve missed this. Life is a bunch of ups and downs, but you have to accept it is what it is and keep thriving forward.

Making my way up town,
         chaves  all-round.

And single mums with multiple
                          fathers wondering
                 with pushchairs  around.

And the kids miss there dads,
               one of there
                    multiple other half's..

        but mummy doesn't let
                           them come around.

Staring blankly ahead the crack heads
          head off to the job centre to
                  collect that Jiro that'll be...

Be in there arm, and they need it,
             and they want it now.
                       But the dealer got busted
before there next round.....

And people stare and  wander if they'll be
                   pretending to be homeless,
             scrounging for those lose coins
to get there
                  next fix injected down.

Making my way up town,
                people passing me by,

So many people walking around there
   cant be this much dole dosers
                                          walking around.

I sit on a seat and watch the world
                                                pass me by.
                              And I, and I just wonder

how many kids are walking around the town
               when schools open.
Yet I see them chaving around,
     the country is doomed,
                     as I see them plodding aimlessly

                

                                               around ..


This is me making my way up town,
            and I wonder if I'll get mugged
                      by some ****** that can't get a
job cos there benefits pay more than my

                       full time job makes,

But I still need this watch,
             but I wonder if I hadn't battered the
  **** out of this ****, would I have seen tonight.

Making my up town knuckles bruised with satisfaction.

  That I made my way up town, and I know that
                          I'll smile in the crowd because ill
           be proud after my shift


that I come home to you tonight.
this is a parody of making my way down town song.

I live in a land where French is King
And English is not stable
We’re supposed to know our oui from  non
Our table from our table
We can’t say hi, bonjour together
Or wear a pretty hijab
English schools are closing up their doors
High taxes are on our tab
I don’t find speaking French a problem
Even though I wasn’t taught
I picked  up words on streets, when young
Marde, colisse,   and tabarnak
My children are bilingual, my grandchildren are so too
I try to speak and others laugh
My French is like a stew
I’m glad I’m getting older
And getting shorter on my days
For watching hatred and prejudice
Is just never going to be my way

i stitch myself back together

with strands plucked from conscience

glistening points drawn out into gossamer

you come to me in comets

bringing the dawn to an astronomer

scried in seams of aether

Bumblebee
Sweetheart
You have stole my heart
The poetry you write
Seeps into my soul
A beautiful cup of tea
Hot and ready
And I will drink deeply
And give my tea
Back to thy
My perfect
Bumblebee.

i'm overwhelmed. overworked. under appreciated.

the work of people like her goes unnoticed. she feels as if everyone's under the spell of a lotus. all she wishes is that everyone could focus.

focus on the ups and the downs. the ins and the outs.

the work of people like her goes unnoticed.
i'm both mentally and emotionally drained. i dont know what to do anymore. my head hurts. all i want is to sleep forever.

I love you deeper than the ocean
And higher than the galaxies
But you need to trust me baby.
And lose your anxieties over me.
