The way that you act Your distortion of facts Is just so vexing Mentally taxing I can’t understand why You always lie Evade or deny On matters so trivial And frankly immaterial If you could only just Be straight up and honest Your answer wouldn’t faze me As long as it were true But it […]
Poems
Under The Microscope
Every second, every minute Every hour, every day Everything we ever do Everything we ever say Always on camera Texts and phone calls logged Every tweet or post or ‘gram All we write about or blog Held on record somewhere In case we ever get flagged up Or find ourselves in the public […]
Forgetful
I forget a lot of things Like where I left my keys When my next dentist appointment is The reason for entering a room My parents’ birthdays What on earth I did last night… (thank you alcohol) But more than anything I need reminding of why I am here The good that I do The […]
The First Time
