Poems and Writing 2009 – The Boy Behind The Glasses.

Reinvent My Wheel – Written Tuesday 23rd June 2009 (Aged 34)

the emotional suicide
the tearing up of scrolls
the redundant inside
the needing hold

when you articulate dreams
you have the kind of stardom
that makes vaudeville stars
turn in their grave

people want love
like they want coffee
instant and neatly poured
they hope it will set them free
if only they are adored

as i clung on
i became aware of my reality
they kissed and cuddled
and never noticed i was a fatality

i told her i kept my soul in an envelope
and that i would show it to her one day
i heard her sigh

maybe i am the failure you described
maybe i am in the wrong place
maybe i am obsessed

i have always
been built withstand,
even at thirty four
and even now
it feels that i could so much more

names are swiftly counted
no time to measure –
the distance of the fall
finding hate instead of pleasure
once you fall from the pedestal

i no longer know what to do
detective novels
but without the clues

i wish it could be different
i wish things could be
the, ‘ happy ever after’
that we all dream of
