The Bastard of Nothing

I don’t know what to do,Not anymore,I’m the lowest I’ve ever been,Lower than ever before,I hold back my lonely tears all day,To release them at night,The depression and isolation was too strong,And I’m too weak to fight,I’m a few levels below just existing,I am now just a ghost,And the feeling...

Oak Tree

The woman on the street corner with a forgotten name,Hooked on heroin and on the game,A young girl turned woman before her time,On the streets since she was nine,She cringes at the sight of her own reflection,And only her pimp can offer her protection,She only smiles when she is buying,The...

Hallucination

I see you and you see me,You call me names and mess with me,You don’t like my hair or the way I dress,You strike me down when I’m at my best,I drink you away to numb the pain,You’re gone for a while then you’re back again,I want to get better,...

The Dark Poet

I am The Dark Poet,Rhyming everything that is real,I write about life,Whilst I’m still able to feel,I am The Dark Poet,Damaged, lost and lonely,I speak the truth,And the truth only,I am The Dark Poet,Poems about drink and drugs,A life of mental health,Living in a world surrounded by criminals and thugs,I...

Mr. Worm

I travel my path in life,And walk down many different roads,And sometimes that path,Might not be the one I first chose,But my journey,At some point will come to an end,My body will be in the ground,As my soul starts to descend,Before I was born,I was a single sperm,But when I...

Why?

Why can’t I just be happy?Why can’t I smile?And why when I do nothing wrong,Do I put myself on trial?Why am I unable to feel,Yet cry all day?Why when I want to die,Do I decide to stay?Why do I not trust anyone,Yet I’m unable to trust myself?Why is it ok...

Freddo’s & Panda Pops

Riding round on my pushbike,Doing whatever the hell I liked,Not getting in till dark,I was safe playing football in the park,Running round for hours, never stopped,Getting penny sweets from the corner shop,Swapping Pokémon cards and smoking fake cigarettes,A time I’ll never forget,Hearing Granddads stories of his youth,Giving me advice, scars...

God of Fire

Sweet god of fire,I burn with you,I feel your agony,For everything that’s false and true,Walking cobblestones,Into the pitch black night,Flames surround us both,Why try and fight,We continue to talk,Caressing sweet words of doom,With our death shall come new,And as pretty flowers we shall bloom,Vultures surround us both, Begging birds of...

We Are The People

They start bickering,Whilst playing war games,Saying whose rocket is bigger,I’m not saying any names,Not really caring about us,But controlling all of our lives,Eating two dinners in their second homes,Whilst the real hero’s live in dives,Posh private school,Paid for by your mummy and dad,Think you’re in with the working class,Cos you...
