Broken spirits, Prisoners of the past, Heads hanging in shame, Trying to hide their ugliness, Only themselves they blame. They wear their scars, Like chains around their neck, Hand tied together, Feet held back. My soul maybe wounded, But my courage soars high, I will not follow their fate, I refuse to be a prisoner, … Continue reading

Tick Tock Goes The Heart
Lying on my bed, A million thoughts, Through my head, I stare blankly, At the patterns on the wall, In the dead of the night, I am aware, Of the sounds of life, Blocking out, Every noise, every thought, But my heart beats, And the clock’s gentle tick tock, They somehow synchronise, I realise, One … Continue reading
