Fi Brown Poem
I walked alone by moonlight as I lived in fear of the sun,
Blinded and burnt once too often by her false promises.
Left thinking everyone only ever saw her loving warmth,
While I sat silently crying cold and shivering in the corner
Like a puppet I was forced to follow in her yellow light,
Always pulling my heart strings to make me dance her way.
Behind the scenes echoing Pinocchio wanting to be a real,
But she would taunt me more with scissors above my head.
Forever trapped in a world that was of her creation and ideals,
Escape was only temporary as I returned like a boomerang.
With so many negative thoughts and deep holes of self-hate,
How could I love myself when I did not even know her likes?
When the news came it was not through a town crier,
But sat in an office with a floral mask upon both our faces.
It was a dodgy gene turned on is what the expert told us,
There was finally to be an end that was not my full stop.
The months passed as the sun’s needs grew ever more,
But control of the universe was slipping from her fingers.
Shifting the balance of power in a whole new direction,
Setting prisoners free from crimes they never committed.
The day before she set for what would be her last,
We listened as ever by Classic FM and Mr Armstrong.
The following morning I held her hand one final time,
As she passed with a rattle to silence within minutes.
In almost four months I seldom cry for her passing,
Adapting to my new normal has been far harder.
No longer someone’s puppet or living in the darkness,
I was lost but now I am found.

Fi Brown Poem
I lie here in an empty freezing prison cell,
Alone apart from the black mirror in my hands.
How long I have been here I couldn't say,
A prisoner and jailor with the key in one.
You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction,
Always there morning, noon and night.
You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant,
And source of information to entertainment.
I can lose myself in the worlds you created,
Allowing me to forget about all my troubles.
I can be reborn as anyone I choose to be,
With the freedom to do anything I want.
You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction,
Always there morning, noon and night.
You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant,
And source of information to entertainment.
I know you will never leave me like they did,
But I really should look beyond these walls.
Unlock the door to where it all can come alive,
And set all my senses free and soul awaken.
You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction,
Always there morning, noon and night.
You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant,
And source of information to entertainment.
I don't know what to do or where to go first,
My beautiful addiction.
Maybe five more minutes for you'll show me,
My beautiful addiction.
