Punk As Fuck

I'd swallow pills for simple thrills 

And drink as if i had to sink

Into a world that felt more real 

A place where i could think

My head would spin from deep within 

And there i'd find the inner me 

Not someone who was chastised 

With a longing to be free 

And in this state of anger, hate 

I'd look around in such disdain 

And spit my thoughts from what became 

A sharp and razored tongue 

The freak in me was always there 

Exploding from a childs despair 

My past was never "Just bad luck"

But simply Punk as fuck!

Poet To Poet

I bet you wish i'd go away

And come back on a brighter day

Then write about the birds and bees

Of swaying flowers, leafy trees 

Or maybe how the sunshine glows 

How sea might feel upon my toes

But here i am and here i'll stay

"I WILL NOT go away!"

I write about the things i see

About the fears concerning me

The truth is what I'm here to tell

You know me oh so well!

I may be morbid, always dark

My purpose to ignite a spark

That sets alight your cozy place

And slaps you in the face

So wake up poets, look around! 

There's blood upon your flowered ground 

And bombs fall from your sunny sky

As starving, broken children cry 

I cannot close my eyes to this 

Your happy ditti's take the piss

Of every teardrop ever spilt 

As dying flowers wilt 

Anger IS An Energy

John Lydon he once said these words

To most they sounded quite absurd 

"Anger Is An Energy"

Makes perfect fucking sense to me

As every day i wake to find

A rage that courses through my mind

It helps me cope throughout the day 

To face the crap that comes my way

It's in the poems that i write 

I seldom bark but always bite

Anger IS an energy!

Of that i guarantee 

With A Girl Like You

You could give me diamonds 

You can buy me rings

Cover me in flowers 

All those stupid things

But what i want...

If you only knew

I would just be happy

With a girl like you

You could sing me love songs

You can break my heart

You could even end it

If you let it start

"Cause what i want...

Is that something new

And i bet i'd find it

With a girl like you

But i guess you're always out of reach 

Like some exotic star

No matter then how close i get

You'll be forever far 

But what i want...

If my dreams come true

Is that you'll see this lost boy

With a girl like you

With a girl like you-oo

With a girl like you-oo

With a girl like you-oo

With a girl like you

Yesterday

Yesterday you told me that you loved me

Yesterday you kissed me tenderly 

Now you say you're leaving without warning 

Something 'bout you needed to be free

Yesterday i felt that we were sacred 

Yesterday i looked into your eyes 

Now i see the promises you made me

They were only stupid little lies 

Yesterday i woke to find you with me 

Yesterday i watched you slowly breathe 

Now my heartbeat races with anxiety 

As i watch you close the door and leave 

Yesterday i guess it never mattered 

Yesterday now seems so long ago

Now i sit here by myself in silence 

Broken is the man you'll never know 

Free Fall

I climbed up a mountain, a place to feel free

I looked down and saw many following me

I needed the space, so i shouted and said

"I'm needing this space to un-clutter my head!"

But they kept on coming, the line only grew 

What monkeys all see, other monkeys will do

So i leapt from the summit and fell through the air

As I'd never find freedom up there! 

Crash

I take one more mouthful of Jacky D... and swallow. It spills from my mouth like a fuel pump overflowing from a tank that won't take another drop more. This body is full, and blood is minimal... I am now running on JD alone. A car crash ready to happen.
I drive myself along a footpath, Feeling more like a bumper car than a cadillac. My lights don't work and everything's a blur. People walk by, avoiding the maniac behind the wheel who can't control his vehicle... Surely he will collide with someone!
I light a Silk Cut red, with the flick of a thumb, The Zippo sets my innards alight and fire rages through my veins. And out from my lungs smoke flows as it would from any inferno.
For a moment, i look up at the sky. And then everything makes sense... This vehicle has already crashed. Stars hang around me like a cartoon character who has been hit by something ridiculous. The rabbit, cat, duck or wolf may have been hit by a rock, an ironing board, a freight train or a ten ton weight.
Me... I had been hit by life.
