just hold me –
that is all i ask
the request for my wife
my only specified task
just hold me
because we need it

Take Me to the Cellar – Written Monday 7th October 2019 (Aged 44)
now i have you,
only you, just to believe in me
and guide me to the cellar
when the inevitable storm comes
Wet Cement – Written Monday 7th October 2019 (Aged 44)

to notice
shots are still being fired
maybe i am unplugged
or falsely wired
Insulation – Written Monday 7th October 2019 (Aged 44)

voted all that away
suddenly consequence was not tomorrow
it was today
Be An Activist – Tuesday 1st October 2019
be an activist,
with a sense of self
that reminds everyone else
that truth is identity we own
it is not too late
when speaking truth to power
and push back those voices of hate
The Completely Corrupt – Tuesday 1st October 2019

well, this country will come back
this is just a tragic rut
but now,
we know this country is morally bankrupt

limp through the race
parts of me feel over used
parts of all of us
feel so confused
Circular Arguments – Wednesday 25th September 2019
applying mental health labels
that leave us the same
when in fact, life experience makes us different
without a social perspective
it is a circular argument
Lions and Piranhas – Thursday 19th September 2019
i could swim,
with everso hungry sharks
and risk myself less harm
both the lions and the piranhas
look at my tasty arms
Broken Biscuits – Tuesday 17th September 2019
people underestimate me
it is the challenge that burns
the constant need that tries to learn
people underestimate me
