17/12/21 Can’t believe we’re at year’s end! Been through a million lives the last three-sixty-five. I started with Hermit. That life included not leaving my yard, eating, sleeping a lot, studying and being a bit bloody bored. I was encapsulated by the euphoria of feeling quite care free; I had worries but they didn’t overpower [...]

Devastate
Come back to me When you are free Of yourself Come back to joy And happiness And health Come back to love And open up And delve Into my arms They’re waiting for your Embrace I will be your Head first Not your escape (I only want to mend, Not devastate) By Lyric Deep.
Bristol
I thought that light spray and bright gap In the reflection of the window Was the ping back of the space that Fed air through my inner thighs Until I saw you two’s silhouettes shifting into each other and I realised When the breakthrough got smaller and smaller That I wasn’t growing in size But [...]
Shani: Being Different But Different Together 17/11/21
17/11/21 We itched over it for two weeks until the day finally arrived. I had been writing in bed that day, living up to all my cliches, and Shani had been at her new job at the nursery. I finally got that text: leaving now. That meant I had fifty minutes to get some clobber [...]
Liquid Gold
I always thought that was just how your sweat smelt. But the perfume of you couldn’t be bottled Or sold in shops that didn’t care about the natural approach to beauty. Mascara was your furthest push into that realm; You never needed, never need, never will need to go any further. I always considered that [...]
A Bit Of Me
I was shaking that first night, Kind of terrified, Worried my pride Was falsified And that I weren’t Deserving of stage space With these tried And tested professionals Or that my truth Became lies As I stood in the spotlights And spit out bars Of past lives So I was shivering In my fingertips, Intimidated [...]
Music Was, Is, Always Will Be, My Life 17/10/21
17/10/21 I found a YouTube channel by the name of The Cozy Representative last week. And I swiftly devoured nearly all of his videos. He does documentary style pieces around the rise (and sometimes fall) of bands prominent in the late naughties/early tens scene and emo movement. When I was in year six, I discovered [...]
Pukka Poem
Wishing good on those you hate is tricky I get sticky With the sour syrup of “Miss me with that wishy- Washy wishing” And get pissy with my heart As it tricks me Into giving out those prayers In moments of quiet Throwing cares at me Like frisbees And hitting every artery With the mastery [...]
Shad, Oh
He’s a shadow And he leans in when I kiss him He’s getting darker For his without when I’m with him Not like before When it was only within I feel guilty When I really admit I miss him But I get off scott free Because no one ever listens Other than him, but He’s [...]
Moving Out And Getting Cold 17/09/2021
17/09/2021 I moved to London when I was sixteen and left a life of slight mundanity behind me. Essex never gave me what I truly needed; it never provided the excess, the chaos, the panting uncertainty that I realised I loved once I moved to the city. I went back to Essex two years after [...]
