Dreamland

Birds can roar and lions squawk,
Adults crawl and babies walk,
Toddlers think and grown ups cry,
Buildings fall and pigs can fly,
Pirate treasure or spaceman flights,
Dark mornings and bright skied nights,
Friends close but enemies closer,
Frozen scared but ride the coaster.
Sugar bitter and lemon sweet,
Cake to drink and wine to eat.
Love to hate and hate to love.
What is this world we’ve learnt to push and shove.
I love you all one and all, together we love and together we fall. Let’s all get along or fall apart, death, suicide, depression to start. End it all by talking together. At night, by text, in the morning, whenever.

Empty But Full

Feel so full

Ever feel full but empty too?
Just a number at work but what you gna do?
Father at home, the bees knees, their favourite guy?
Try your best, a smile, a joke, don’t ask me why...
Empty, but yet so full.....life? Repetitious but anything but dull. 
Am I ungrateful? Don’t know what I’ve got. 
A trade, a Mrs, 3 kids?
I’ve got a lot..
Changed my mind... it’s not empty at all, 
Take a step back, see the bigger picture. 

Stand proud and tall.
