Life (What’s The Point!)
every time i look i just don’t see
nothing for the future
and nothing for me
and every time i think of dying
i seem to be in a sea of despair
sitting here and crying
life is a sentence full of tears
maybe it will not be so terrifying
if i bide my time,
i may be let off in a few years
my future feels like a dark horizon
tears well up deep inside me
my troubles are rising
life can be cold dark and empty
life is a fridge,
there are lots of nice things inside,
none of which last
isn’t strange tottering on the ridge
James Garratt – Friday 12th March 1993

Again, this is really early on. But thank you, this felt very teenage and self absorbed but I guess you tend to be when you’re young :). Comment much appreciated.

But there’s a lot of things we can learn from our younger selves too, so don’t dismiss it quite yet!

Oh no, I don’t dismiss, this whole ‘ typing up my writing’, has been a complete journey of learning. For me, the life narrative we construct is so different to what you actually find. And you have to start and grow somewhere don’t you
