Step Outside
We live our lives inside our phones Scrolling endlessly To fill the gaps in time Re-reading rhetoric To regurgitate later To our fellow man Who re-read the same While scrolling endlessly Living inside their phone What a strange new world We live here, but we don’t We hardly live at all We experience things only…

Anxiety
Exhaustion Hit this wall, it hurts Fall down and get back up It feels like the stress is gone But it’s not, it builds and I ignore it The sleep deprivation Takes away my youth, my life I need a break I need rest Stealing rest only makes it worse Guilt and more work Anxiety…

Hidden
This amazingly talented Hard working man Gruff sometimes Not always tender Chasing youth Although he’s still young Comes across one way But I see another Shows love in hidden ways Sometimes I have to stop I have to search He hides it to keep it safe His trust broken many times In many ways before…

We Saw
We saw it all I know you think Perhaps we didn’t I know sometimes You think you failed That you didn’t do enough That you didn’t do it right But we saw… We saw it differently We saw so much hard work So much dedication Such a big heart Inside a sometimes grumpy man And…

My Champion
My champion My counsellor My friend How different life would be If you were not my refuge The trials The suffering The lessons The flaws The rebellion The pain Inevitable… My friction with the world But your love, your kindness Your patience and joy Is unconditional A steady, safe place My champion My counsellor My…

Veiled
And the veil is lifted once again. I see the truth I knew, but would not acknowledge. The pain that comes with being foolish Is unlike any other. You cast blame, you throw stones, You call down criticism and judgment You condemn and you torture and you claw… …only at yourself. For there is only…
