I have never written poetry before but woke at 3am on 19/9/2012 with two poems buzzing round my head. These words wouldn't go away nor let me sleep so I had no option but to get out of bed and write the words down. I wrote HOPE first followed by PERFECTION, I have written others since but I can't make it happen the words need to come to me. I carry a note book with me now because the words come in at odd times. I hope this continues because I have thoroughly enjoyed tapping into this creative side of me that I didn't know existed.
Why do you have to follow me
This really is insane
I look around and you're still there as
I walk down the lane
...
You need to dance to the rhythm of
your own song.
You're nobodies puppet, you've a
mind of your own.
...
Wake up and walk with me up on the hills
It's springtime and warm, we'll see daffodils
It's a beautiful morning, so fresh and alive
we might even see the kingfisher dive.
...
When everything is upside down
And things just seem a mess
Why should we bother to carry on
Amid this bother and stress.
...
I'm not perfect, I just don't fit
I've ginger hair, a facial twitch
My skin is wrong, my accent bad,
My mum is poor, I got no dad.
