More like a forlorn and lonely figure 
I think too hard and felt the world is against me

And invited Myself for a talk

But when their own are in need, the same...

Every choice, every decision, every breath is all taken with you unwantedly occupying each and every square inch of my space.
I cannot move without you weighing me down,...

A deep, dark kindred spider looms to proffer the sentiment, 
That abuse just objectifies the long persistent winter:  
Scouring around playfully, but embedded in the night - 
Two way of seeing it but only...

Political ordeal 




Criticising every good move,
Is that what opposition means ?
Putting party above country

Feeling joy of having an honest PM
positivity is apparent in the air,
His dreams of taking...

You stung me with your waspish words
Injecting poison into my very soul
Again and again with those stinging syllables
Your words buzzed around my brain
Still you flew in and continued your scathing attack
It all came so easily...

Her mother was as usual criticising her in front of all
As her mother went on and on
girls sadness was clearly evident on her face
It was pricking her deep inside

A band of gold
bound them together

At first Sue’s blissfully happy
but little by little

every aspect of her life
eroding her self confidence
by criticising her appearance
choosing what she should wear

If we ignore criticising people, they will get bored...

Cause I can't pretend like I don't have favour

Every night,
Down this road I walk,
Clairvoyant in perpetual insomnia,
Pencil etches of truth and fantasy,
Criss-cross my vision,
Fourteen cups of 5am coffee,

Through my net like mind,
It escapes me,
Streetlights...

Already constantly telling me what I should do
Life can be tough for me at times I dont show
Knowing I have to...

Remember you will be fighting for a dream
Until the truth is truly revealed unto us all
Many are choosing to be blinded by the lies

She looks down her nose
At the locals in the town square
As she sips tea from her fine china cup
Pinky in the air

Criticising and complaining
Judging one and all

Only she matters….all others insignificant...
