Hayley May Poem
For all the pain that lies beneath the waves,
crashing over my head once more,
the numbness creeps forever cold,
on a pain that was there once before,
my cry’s drown in my heart,
as i slip under again,
but there are a thousand more slipping away,
as the tide washes in,
for myself i look out for this time,
a friend is of the past,
for the ocean of the world,
a frail honest person will never last

Hayley May Poem
For the rest of my life,
i will ask myself how,
how did you let that little girl down?,
you ruined her life,
tore her apart,
drained all the happiness in her heart,
the sadness is inside of me,
the hatred of my own skin,
where did it come from?,
when did it win?

Hayley May Poem
All the things left unsaid,
the dreams of unfulfilled life,
hang heavy on my head,
there once a dream, a hope, a joy
that was all destroyed by the words a young 'unknowing' boy,
I had the confidence of mighty roar,
kept behind a cage of desolation forever more,
his words of cruelty cut like a knife,
I wish I hadn't listened,
maybe I'd still be alive,
no I am not gone,
I live on still,
in a body that full of hatred,
and life that seems dismal,
i wait for end,
where the voice of that boy may fade away,
'you're ugly' he said,
I still haven't lifted up my head to this very day.

Hayley May Poem
the face in my reflection
haunts me like a wildest dream,
my eyes are hallowed,
my skin pale as an early spring.
once I looked upon a face of another
a youthful in spirit,
not yet, drained of colour,
oh i long to go back to those days ago,
back to the old house,
where my dreams still seemed to flow,
but here i stand frozen in time,
lost in the youth of a younger man's life,
i am not enough for this world i fear,
too tired, too sad,
but yet my path forward still remains unclear.
