Trying to Let Go
no more games
no more tears –
tantrums, sulks,
and little gain
happiness in bulk
and one third sane
that is how it has to be
no more circles
endless conversation
the chipping away of respect
and crazy situations
just the heat –
in which i will gladly melt
with my thoughts intact
which i have felt
no looking back
no more games –
feature length nonsense
and running whilst lame
just me enjoying my self respect
and my inside fame
James Garratt – Wednesday 11th August 1999
