Someone Listen

Im in the Darkness of depression In  the depth of my despair. 
I called out into the blackness nobody seems to be there. 
Thay say to ring this number for help you will be seen
But for 24 hour help you talk to a machine. 
So you have no-one to talk to and tell them how you feel 
My brain goes  insane thinking these things are real 
So when I cut myself wishing my life will end
JUST remember all I wanted was someone to listen 
   A DOCTOR NURSE OR FRIEND....

Beginning of the end

Soldiers marching buy gun shots from outside.

We have to run into darkened corners just so
We can hide. 

But they have found us in huddles we are stood

It's pointless to try and run as that would not 
End good. 

Walked to a train station I think we're out of luck 

Stripped of our belongings and loaded into a 
Cattle truck. 

Standing for hour only tears there's no smiles 

The day turns to night we must of travelled miles 

Some with no hats or coats some with no shoes 
On their feet. 

Old and frail dropping down begging for food 
To eat. 

This was the start of the end 6 million lives lost

This was the beginning of the bloody 
                   Holocaust.

Let my

Let my voice calm you when your down
And low. 

Let my arms embrace you so my love 
You will know. 

Let my body protect you and take 
Away your fears. 

Let my lips kiss you gently and 
Wipe away your tears. 

Let my ears listen to all you have to 
Say

I give you all my body to keep you 
Safe today.

I Remember

I remember every punch and every kick.

Every strike with the leather belt every beating
With the stick.

I remember every bone that they made crack
The blood from the whip and the times my
Eyes were black.

I remember every time I had to tell lies
When people use to ask what happened to
Your eyes.

I remember every time in a room with a
Locked door
A dirty stained mattress no carpet on the floor

I remember ripped clothes broken shoes on
My feet.
Being locked away for days with only bread to eat.

I remember the beatings and trying not to cry
And silently praying that God would let me die.

I remember everything like it happened yesterday
I only remember the bad things
Because the good things fade away.

Come out of the darkness

Come out of the darkness it's not a
Nice place.

Come out of the darkness and let
 The sunshine hit your face. 

Come out of the darkness it's not 
The place to be 

Come out of the darkness 
And let the sunshine set you free 

Come out of the darkness don't 
Hide yourself away 

Come out of the darkness and let
The sunshine make it day.

Emotions

My Eyes look out into the blackness 
My Voice calls into the void.
I see nothing I hear nothing but I feel Something 
I'm scared of Nothing but also scared of Something.
Does my subconscious make me human?
Does my fear control My destiny?
Or dose my destiny control my fear?
Will I ever know the feeling of emotion 
Or will my emotion control my fear...

Just For Fun

This poem is just to see if I can jog your memory.

It might be rock it might be funk it might be soul
Or it could be punk.

Are you ready so let's go how many songs will you
Know

You might be going downtown or have seen Kathy's
Clown.

Were your boots made for walking and we're your friends
Jive talking.

Did you pass the house of the rising sun was your house
The house of fun.

Have you seen a crocodile rock or did you rock around
The clock.

Is your town called malice and did you live next door
To Alice.

Holiday leaving on a jet plane all your friends you will
See

And that special friend named Valerie.

Read this again but read it slow how many songs 
Did you know.

Shot with an airgun

Shot with an air gun just to make me run.

Shot with an air gun just for fun.

Shot with an air gun just to see me fall.

Shot with an air gun just because I was small.

Shot with an air gun just because I was weak. 

Shot with an air gun just because I didn't speak.

Shot with that air gun couldn't turn to my father 
Or mother. 

Because the one doing the shooting was my own
Big brother.

Have You Any Change

Have you any change please I'm hungry and need to eat

Have you any change please I'm homeless and live on
The street.

Have you any change please I'm not being rude.

Have you any change please it's not for drugs or drink
It's only for food.

Have you any change please I'm desperate can't you see

Have you any change please why are you ignoring me

Have you any change please if not I won't scream and
Shout.

You don't have any change then because to you I'm just
A down and out.

Old

My eyesight is failing My hair is gray
I have a cough that won't go away. 

I dont think of the future only the past 
I get some energy but that doesn't last.

Thoughts of my life float round in my head
The I see my teeth in a glass by my bed.

I love the sun but can't stand the rain 
Can't bend to far because of the pain. 

There is nothing wrong with me or so I'm told
 It's not an illness its called 
     Getting old....
