    I think my obsession with corridors sparked from things I have never quite been able to explain Parts of my thoughts that don’t have logical reasoning I think the enclosed feeling was security but the longer the corridor the better As it began to symbolise infinity I think my obsession with these 2 walls and…

    Perhaps I should know how it feels to be woken up by the biggest hand I’ll ever feel whispering, “breakfast is ready” I should remember what it was like picking the chair closest to daddy, ensuring no gap resided between us as we ate ready-break on cold winter mornings I’d be silly to forget the…

    Paying attention to how much I was spending yet still spent £2 over I need to pay more attention to the meals I have I was sitting down cowering over my own thoughts and my belly was hanging over my thighs and I thought I have to pay more attention to the meals I have…

    Please Let me be your safe haven That place made for escaping The distant location Something like a vacation But closer to the answer you been asking for, for ages It’s not green grass but it grows fast And the fresh plants can be eaten You won’t travel to survive once you’re staring into my…

    Staring at blank pages I wonder how to start writing the words I feel I think that maybe I should return when the voices chill I can hear them again so clear they begin and don’t end unless I answer They remind me of my unpaid dues we’re like unfazed youths planning to run ways,…

    I have only the sound of my words to identify my thoughts and intentions I hate that I can express the thoughts on my mind Through a method more divine I guess the main thing I am looking for is an intervention I hear the questions how and why as if we’ve been questioning for…

    Can I highlight the fine line between the plain truths and white lies Things are not always black and white guys Mothers have powers, anything lost they can find It’s the power within, like an owl with their eyes Despite through the high times Mothers are not always right guys and that’s fine.

      We may have parked up, stopped and spoken for a bit We got closer than you think He leant over for a kiss My mind sobered from the wish I guess I was left hoping for a mint But then my eyes opened for a bit Don’t judge me I’ve been lost most times…
