William Grimsey Poem
Nineteen now,
You’d think I’d try take on the world.
They say it’s at my hands,
For how long tho I question,
See I’m here writing this poem
Feeling some kind of tension.
I’m lying in the dark,
Asking has my life fallen apart?
Felt like it ended in the summer,
hit me like a hummer,
Imma try start like an engine,
Get back up and revving.
Still here unWilling
Yet Will be my name
So at times when I’m grinning
It just be for a frame
A photo can last a lifetime
But how long is that?
Juice said we won’t make it past twenty-one
I’ll graduate 2:1, minimum at that
See nineteen was a lightyear away
Buzzing when I saw that day
Never thought I’d see it
Planned to never make it
See my Grandma told me not too,
Couldn’t put my family through the news
We’ve never really had luck
Not been blessed with the Irish chuck
Now we're in 2020
So this year, I’ll turn 20.
Making it thru first year
Tryna keep my vision clear
But unlike Owen
This ain’t how the plan be going
Yet like him I got voices
Telling me to do better
Same as every teen
Voices in us all, bet ya
Pressure getting to us all
That's all too relatable
Looking to the Skye for help
Cross wrapped round my neck
So God’s placed close to my chest
The pains all in my head
Father’s got my back
Not just God but my Dad
Ain’t a poacher like Klose
So not always in the right place
Guidance all around me
So I ain’t pulling a worried face
Not great with attention
Socialising takes its toll
Yet I still crave affection
Nothing is an easy stroll
Guess that’s part of getting older
Growing up ain’t the one chief
Have burdens on my shoulder
Till the day someone lays my reef

William Grimsey Poem
Well hey mum
Is me
Your oldest
Feels like I’ve been without u the longest
Since the beginning
So when I see a family glowing
I really do be grinning
I ain’t known such belonging
Well at least I don’t remember
Yet I still manage to miss you
Why’s that?
I see you as a sorta stranger
Cos I know u don’t know me
I may be half you
But I don’t know half of you
And you don’t know half of me
So maybe we should talk more?
Is that somthing you’d want?
You said some tough
And I ain’t saying I’m perfect
I’d admit I’m suspect
You said you didn’t love me
That’s never left my mind
Maybe that’s why I miss you
Try and disprove you
See I want you to need me, miss me uno
All you seem to do is hate me tho
So I’m here
Wondering where we at
Tryna remember a time
When our family sat
And we was all in one room
No separation, didn’t need no zoom
But I can’t get past the wall that’s built
Can’t climb over or go round
So I’ll just keep this frown
You tuned my world upside down
My mind inside out
I’m still tryna correct it
Need some joy to inject it
Serotonin a needed chemical
Maybe you’re the missing element
yet i don’t want to be on your table

William Grimsey Poem
Suicidal thoughts got me messed up
Stressed up, depressed bruh
This smile that am wearing is my personality getting dressed up
Tryna be the man for the occasion
The top of the class
I ain’t even the best me
Thinking hurts, sad is that
You know the deep late thoughts?
We all have them right?
Feels like my mind is against me
Tryna put up a tough fight
Looking at all those around
Family in my head causing me to hate
Just cos we share the same blood
It doesn’t mean that we relate
I’m here trying to live a full life
Grow old, stay strong
Do it all with my loving wife
Provide the best for my kids lives
Look after all the family
But how I supposed to fulfil a life,
If all I wanna do is die here tonight?
