insecure 

one day that wind is coming inside ... 

needy and clingy
id rather jump off a precipice
than ask for help 

rejected 
my social skills 
withered away

everyone who fights
never asked to be born
no right to live 
don't belong in this world 

a second class citizen
unborn and unloved 

no monkey mother
n who gives a damn ? 
she went to a party 
with all the lonely people  

i caught your mood 
feels very disturbed

the party went home
n I'm left here alone 

to sweep up the dust 
defeated at last 

to leave you here like this 
only snatching a whisper 













261217

for everyone who fights 

n I'm forced to be here 
never asked to be born 

i don't have a right to live
don't belong in this world 
a second class citizen
unborn, unloved 

with no monkey mother 
who else would give a damn ?

241217 / 251217 / 261217

she went to a party 
for all the lonely people 

defeated 

feeling very disturbed 
i caught your mood 

the party has gone home 
and I'm left here alone 
to sweep up the dust 

n I've got to leave you here like this 
only snatching a whisper

even just a little drink
could send her off the rails 
especially if she's on a date 
gets her into danger 

n nobody likes my songs

song : conflict on the border



my heart and soul it gets
beaten up black and blue

can't afford to use the phone 

but I'm rocking out myself

theyre rapping on the wall
but who gives a damn ?


singin and playing my heart
like a knife this wild pain


twisting it deep inside  

puts their noses out of joint !

gives me an excuse 
to play it louder still 


that shadow just a bird
flying across the sun 



































211217 

aggressive, monotonous, selfish, 
gross , stupid, hateful, shrill 
hostile, dangerous

actually i did fancy him 
but not for very long 
maybe because 
there was someone else with him ...

rapping on the wall 

they would rather 
i was the old fogey
who complains about the noise
and gives them an excuse 
to play it louder

but I'm rocking out myself
singing and playing
that put their noses out of joint !





Sunday, 17 December 2017

171217 / 181217

my heart and soul 
beaten black and blue 

n i can't afford to use the phone 

like a knife 
twisting in my stomach 

this flickering light 
this wild pain

song : pear drop moon


alone in the dark
unspeakable this 
strangled by pain 
my feelings are dead 

hostile ways 
on the border
humiliated 
by rejection 

n i don't really want to stay 

in this barren place
dry sticks in the sun 
parched of all life 
and dropping no fruit 

pear drop moon 
graveyard of dreams 








161217

n my heart doesnt work any more 





Friday, 15 December 2017

151217

like swallowing a ball 
of red hot lead

i just want to tell her 
how special she is
maybe just a kind word
or a warm hug 
from her baby girl 
might have saved her 

n i don't get no second chance 
how did i get so far away ? 

n who could be happy 
when they've left their mummy to die 








Thursday, 14 December 2017

141217

alone in the dark

unspeakable
my feelings are strangling me
the death of my spirit

humiliation
hostilities on the border

maybe she doesnt love me
any more

n i don't really want to stay here
without her
i have no choice

in this barren place
dry sticks
parched in the sun
dropping no fruit

under a pear drop moon
the graveyard of my dreams








141217

alone in the dark 







Monday, 11 December 2017

any more

in this barren place
dry sticks 
parched in the sun
dropping no fruit 

under a pear drop moon 
the graveyard of my dreams

full of the juice of the earth

song : boxing day



051217



strangled with rage
im choked and gagged

so shameful
my warfare

im so clingy
and insecure

my bitter heart
gone hard with cold 



drained of each drop
I'm like a tramp

boxing day
was for fights

after Christmas
was magical

broken our bond
mass hypnotised

061217

mass hypnosis 

drained of every drop of life
she made me feel like a tramp 

boxing day was for fights 
after that magical Christmas 









Tuesday, 5 December 2017

embarrassed and humiliated 
the grief has torn us apart 
has broken our bond 

the guilt made us fight 


051217 

strangled with rage
im choked and gagged 

so shameful 
my warfare

im so clingy 
and insecure
my bitter heart 

has gone hard with cold 










Sunday, 3 December 2017

031217 / 041217

song : the gorilla mirror

011217

grinding my teeth 
with shredded nerves
glitter is gone
she's got the nark 

hostile am i ? 
too offensive
I'm just a human 
not just a case 

i have been smacked 
she doesnt like me 
im not allowed
my angry feelins 

with shaking hands 
and pounding heart 
she's on safari 
hunting me down  

too busy making 
her body thin
she's like a mirror 
insecure she

281117

my hands are shaking 
and my heart pounding
so frightening feeling alone in the silence










281117

my nurse is on safari 
literally ! 
hunting gorillas ...

251117

its more difficult for a woman to use force
but we can certainly create pressure 
like manipulating things 
or if its a vulnerable man 
threatening to leave him 
if he doesnt have sex with you 

and booting other people out the way 
like I've got to have this person at any cost 
make a conquest 
and plant that flag 

241117

still reeling from the impact

asking for it ... 

no thats in YOUR head 








Friday, 24 November 2017

241117 

shamed ... 
she's too busy dieting 
to care about me 

still reeling from the impact







241117 

presumptuous ? 

Im grinding my teeth 
my nerves are all shredded 

bullied 
n all the glitter is gone 
someone else got the nark

apparently I'm hostile 
and offensive
theres a human being in here ! 
not just a patient 

i feel as if I've been spanked 
and she doesnt like me 
n I'm not allowed to feel angry ? 

she's probably embarrassed 
when she goes to the loo ! 

like she's a mirror 
of insecurity

song : I've taken the wrong meds

n im stuck here 
with a patient 
sitting outside 
in the night 

empty church hall
when they've all gone 
and turned out 
the lights 

I've taken the wrong meds
I'm out of control
speeding on caffiene 
my toys are all broke

I've broken a machine 
my friends have all left 

injured myself 
n im stuck here in the night 









181117 / 191117 

n im stuck here 
with a patient 

sitting outside
in the night 

deserted church hall
when they've turned out the lights 

I've taken the wrong meds 
n im out of control 

caffeine like speed ... 
my toys are in bits

n now I have broken 
a machine

my friends 
have all left me alone

I've injured myself 

Friday, 17 November 2017

181117 / 191117 

n im stuck with another mental patient 

sitting outside a deserted church 
on a dark night 

I've taken the wrong meds 
n im raging out of control 
speeding on caffeine ... 

my toys are in bits

n now I've broken a machine
my friends have left me 
n I've injured myself 



















this morbid obsession
n im stuffing my anger 
deep inside
so helpless 
2
i want to follow 
where ere she goes 
where that is 
she may be
3
cling to the wire monkey 
the motherboard
its all i have 
her cold embrace 
4
no status or dignity 
n I'm going off the rails 
shrouded in a veil of death

1
the baby she cried for me
she could see i wasnt happy

a herd of cattle
nerves a jingle jangling

high on caffeine

song : familiar sounds


i just get too needy and clingy
and then i feel hurt and rejected

lairy sounds going on next door
through the thin walls
just one layer of brick


n its like they're in here
theres a party going on 


and I'm just here on my own
not used to being grown up

I'm used to hearing people swearing

arguing and banging doors

with aggressive dogs and people 
dragging bags of empty glass ...

people howling with their grief
you look much older dear


a biscuit to cheer you up
you can smash it up in your gob

its well known 
that 'for what its worth' is about Noel 

but did anyone think 
that 'everybody's on the run' is about Liam ?

song : robots




this grief is like
im gasping for air
and end up breathing water
so im choked up
shocked, invaded



technology equals master of ceremonies turned wally !

its lost its earthy hand - rubbing magic
things are closing in on me
n i never asked to be born








E = MC squared :

technology equals master of ceremonies turned wally !

song : still taking the valium



still taking the valium
he sounds like someone is being murdered
he sounds like nothing on earth
i can feel it creeping up my spine

there are 2 rottweilers in there
barking their heads off

i know what they are going to say
that I'm up having a bath at 2 in the morning
i sometimes have a quick wash
and i think its a bit creepy
there is a couple next door
lying in bed listening to me having a wash

song : its all my fault

n i don't get no second chance 
feel so shaky 
with a sore and broken heart  

n I'm angry
with this abominable pain
I've lost control 

n i can't fix it
the silence is deafening me
the terror and emptiness
of being alone 

n its my fault
if things go wrong 
is this some sort of punishment ?

i feel so stupid
everybody else
seems to know what to do 











191017

and I've started composing a new tune on the piano
which started last night as i was asleep !
i woke up composing this thing
which i couldn't seem to pin down until later on
i don't remember having a dream like that before
someone from SLAA
said to write down your dreams
and also to relate them to what was happening the day before
i think if you take note of your dreams
and pay attention to them
they can become more lucid and vivid
with complex meanings and stories attached







Monday, 16 October 2017

161017 / 171017 

feeling shaky 

my broken heart 
is so sore 
n i don't get a second chance
