A Footstep Away – Written Friday 12th February 2010 (Aged 34)

A Footstep Away

i am just like you
a heartbeat away from madness
a footstep away from sadness
i am just like you
wishing for no strings attached
mental health
knowing it is my inner dragon
that guards my true wealth
i am just like you
a heartbeat away from inner collapse
a footstep away from feeling sad
my irregular design
my must have freshly painted walls
even it is fine
the colours can be cool
i am just like you
a heartbeat away from a tragic split
a footstep away from losing grip




James Garratt – Friday 10th February 2010
