2 sides to a coin

One man's death
Is another man's glory
One man's demise
Is another man's story
History is written by the victor
Not by the loser
So keep your friends close
And your enemies closer

The Unlikely Poet

we are one under the heavens

If only the world
Was colour blind
If we could just see past
The colouring of skin
And looked at the person within
We would surely find
That we are no different
From each other
We are all somebody's sister
Or somebody's brother
Somebody's father
Or somebody's mother
If we could just see past
The black and white
Come together and unite
We would surely see
That we all have the same struggles
And we all fight the same fight
I wish that we could
Remove discrimination
And come together
As one proud nation
A mass rainbow of colours
In one glorious celebration

The Unlikely Poet

like the phoenix

Today feels like a good day
I have packed up my troubles
And am throwing them away
I have shed too many tears
Wasted too many years
But I am now ready again
To face all of my fears
I was to busy thinking about
What could go wrong
When I should have been thinking
About what could go right
My life had become
One continuos long night
But now I have stepped
Out of the shadows
And into the light
My troubles are all behind me
And I feel ready again
To continue the fight

The Unlikely Poet

A new world

Everybody please pay attention
I give you the door
To a new dimension
Open to all free thinkers
With a higher perception
Leave your pride outside
If you have nothing to hide
Welcome to one and all
Come please step inside
We are off on a journey
To the centre of your mind
A world of dreams
And imagination
Where nothing is impossible
And the blind
Lead the blind

The Unlikely Poet

leave me alone

I am going to lock myself up
Quite literally
So nobody else
Can have a peice of me
Some people act so selfishly
I am so sick of being
Let down by everybody
They all want a peice of me
But offer nothing in return
It is a horribly repeated pattern
Maybe it is time to learn
That most people
Are only out for themselves
So I cannot them get to close
They only mess with my heart
And my fragile mental health




the unlikely poet

muffled scream

God if I don't scream out loud
I may just burst from inside
There is only so many times
That I can swallow my pride
There are only so many times
That I can get kicked around
So many times that I
Can climb back of the ground
Everybody is driving me insane
They are worms burrowing holes
In my tortured screaming brain

The Unlikely Poet

My Valentine

You are always in my thoughts
And never off my mind
A love like yours
Is so hard to find
How could I have been so blind
Why did I not see
That all the time that
I was on my own
You were standing there
Right in front of me

From the funny things you say
To the little things you do
I will gladly give
My heart to you
As I know that
You are honest and true
The praise you deserve is
Long overdue
There is not a single thing
I would change about you

When I am with you
I feel anything is achievable
Us meeting was not accidental
I belive that you were meant for me Some sort of Guardian Angel
You make me feel alive again
You make me feel so special

The Unlikely Poet

A sick mind

I am sick of walking around
Carrying this broken feeling
I am an open festering sore
Weeping but never healing
I am sick of bouncing of the walls
And then bouncing of the ceiling
I am sick of feeling mild and meek
I am so sick of myself
That I could sleep for a week
I am sick of the insomnia
That can keep me up for days
I am sick of the not functioning
Of walking around in a daze
I am sick of seeing my life
Through a blurry foggy haze
I am sick of being hyper
I am sick of feeling down
I am sick of being sad
And I am sick of playing the clown
But most of all
I am sick of myself
And my ever decreasing
Mental health

The Unlikely Poet

under the rubble

My demons caught me today
I woke up and they were there
They dont care about
Time or date
They fill my brain with
Vengance and hate
They make me sad
They make me cry
They make me want to kiss
The world goodbye
They make it so as I cannot
Look myself in the eye
They are all consuming in my head
And I have got the strength
To climb out of this bed
I am just going to lay here
And feel sorry for myself instead
Wishing that I would wake up dead

The Unlikely Poet

let me be

Outside is cold and wet
Windy and grey
Which is exactly
How I feel today
I want to hide under my pillow
Until it all goes away
Tomorrow may be better
Nobody can tell
But today
Just for today
Please leave me to my inner Hell

The Unlikely Poet

you can

Do you live
With domestic abuse
Are you made to feel
That you are no use
Do you live with somebody controlling
Are you being forced to explain
Your every feeling
Do any of you live
Under strict obedience
Masked behind the threat of violence
Do you live
With a tyrant or a bully
Who's every decision
Comes from jealousy and insecurity
Well I did
And I know those feelings
Only too well
I once lived like that
My whole life was Hell
But I escaped
And lived to tell the story
With all of the blood
And all of the gory
I got out when I could
And if you see an opening
Then you should do the same
Because you are nobody's punchbag
And you should not accept the blame
We all make mistakes
So rid yourself of the shame
Some way you will find away to cope
You may feel like you are lost
And all alone
But I am a story of hope

The Unlikely Poet

a place

I know of a magical place
Where peace and harmony grow
It is a secret place
Where only the chosen go
Only found when you unwind
For this magical place
Is a state of mind

The Unlikely Poet

A smile

Smile and show the world
That you are stronger than
You were yesterday
Smile and show them all
That they cannot have their way
Smile and don't let
Anybody bring you down
Put a smile back on your face
It's a thousand times more potent
Than any scowl or frown
And you just smiled




the unlikely poet

Hope

Are your feelings all mixed up
Like a kaleidoscope
Are your emotions all twisted
Do you struggle to cope
Do you sometimes feel
As if you are climbing
A very slippery slope
Well me tell you something
That was taught to me
And you may see things
Very differently
From a tear we learn more than
Looking through a thousand telescopes
And mixed in amongst those tears
Is this magical thing
That we call hope
We learn from the tribulations
We get wise from the pain
And through all of the sadness
We learn to rise again

The Unlikely Poet

hidden Emotions

You may not like it
But you know it strikes a chord
You may not want to
But you believe every word
I know that I
Hit a raw nerve somewhere
So lets not pretend
That you don't care
I want to replace
That smug look on your face
Wipe off that look of satisfaction
There will be no absolution
Until I can provoke
The right kind of reaction
