The Sinking Ship of Negativity
It's disappearing like buffalo across the vast plains...
familiarity has become distorted, both sour and rank.
There's an abandoning of the ship of negativity,
bringing grief far worse than nine months of labor.
It's given cause for an elegy, so who is to thank
for the decline of what was a tranquil sanctuary?
In backwaters, gossipers have rippled the waters.
They're

Ignorance
I hate how it always ends up like that.
How I get ignored for several hours.
And reply within a few seconds.
To think that you didn’t care as much as I do.
Engraves a sense of solitude in my heart.
I can’t call myself anything but a fool.
To hopelessly stare blankly at a screen.
How can I have these emotions,

Always on the flip side
Oh my, why am I always on the flip side?
Fleeing from hope, slipping down the slide.
In moonshine glow, seldom in sunshine bright.
Always in the consequence of negativity's plight.
My joy and laughter are often subdued.
My tears and sobs are wrongly construed.
My feelings are torn to tatters and shreds.
By doubts and uncertainty, slipped threads.
But why am I

No Negativity
I don't need any Negativity around me
I don't need any Negativity around me
I don't need any Negativity around me
I release it, I release it, I release it
Walking in these rooms I can feel the
Energy.

WORK
How do you feel about; every day,
Usually nine to five,
Doing something that you hate
Just to stay alive?
Your car, your house, etcetera,
The bills that all come too,
Surely everything you need
Depends on what you do
I work to do as little as possible;
F*ck the world and its rules.
I've done whatever the f*ck I like
For most of my

Tell the Devil
I Feel I've gone from red to black
Tell the devil
Tell the devil
Get off my back
I Tripped and fell and acted foolish
I think I'm done
But I'm still going through it
I think I'm done
But I'm still going through it...
I feel I'm going from Red to Amber
Don't let them think
You're just

It's not a two-letter, four-letter word
For some, this two-letter word
is as ponderous as a sixty-cubit chain.
It rattles around in their hearts
like a lightning-and-thunder storm.
Uttering it is as impossible as
eating blazing coals or rusty nails:
both burn the tongue as mercilessly.
Two simple letters that might as well be
any of the twelve Herculean tasks –
each one requiring heroic effort of will.
Far easier it

Negativity not Welcome
No place for negativity in my mind-
I'll just try & leave that all behind.
Struggling within to let it all go-
So many things, no one can know.
Secrets I keep_ scenarios I'll never tell-
Not disclosing the fact I've lived through Hell.
Been there & back, seems I'm back there again-
Continuously paying the price for my sins.
I'm trying not

Our World
Try to wake up every morning with a smile on your face
Be thankful you are still part of the human race
Send out rays of happiness to everyone you might meet
If you take the bus and it is full give someone in need your seat
The media continues to spread doom and gloom it's a ratings game
Why

Cannot Uplift Mrs Negativity
I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried.

Nagging Negativity
Another new day dawns
For us all to face
Will it be one to embrace
With vim and vigour
As we prepare to start this day
We put our negativity at bay
And begin to read the news
Trusting that today's news will be
Printed with more clarity
So that most can understand
The strategies they have planned
I put the paper down in dread
Of all

Calling All Angels
Do you struggle with burdens?
Are you drowning in despair?
Does a web of negativity permeate your air?
When you travel down life's roads, on your journey, that quest, and God
has clearly put you under deep duress.
Remember those beings that you swatted like flies,
those people out there that you demonized?
Wouldn't it be a wonderful surprise to find they

Negativity
Today is a bad day,
not by ailments
but that constant clatter
of negativity
In my ears.
But the negativity
Is not my own.
Tomorrow will bring
peace.

there are those who are proud

this is the most abject form

When Negativity Attacks Me
When negativity attacks me...
I start to feel hopeless, sad, depressed, angry,
Jealous, shameful, guilty, afraid, and lonely.
I want to eat some food for comfort,
I need friends to talk to, I need attention,
I need reassurance, I need advice,
Every terrible fact about everything comes into my mind,
Everything falls apart...
My inner strength breaks down, I stop smiling and frown.
The
