Everything Said – Written Friday 1st August 1997 (Aged 22)

Everything Said

everything said –
bounces around the head
so the insecure get easily led
and the selfish –
are over fed

everything said –
seems to be a means to an end
the never ending bend
the unbroken circle of life
that neither goes left or right

everything said –
so the easily hurt
have been easily bled
and destined to eventually,
always be dead

everything said –
still remains
another close contact thing
leaves a mark –
that’s less than the pain
but i am still running uphill
with a tonne upon my back

everything said –
it’s here in the world
all the worlds we create
whilst all we can do,
is wait


James Garratt – Friday 1st August 1997
