PINK

Candy floss thrown across,
Flung with my bubble gum,
My mother looking, at a loss,
Soothing songs I no longer hum

Umbrella broken, teddy torn,
Diary now belonged to the bin,
Turned around, as if reborn,
Favourite top, rewashed with Rin

As each item got destroyed,
I inhaled deeper still,
None had a place to hide,
Every inch now submitted to my will

A will, however, not really mine
Spirit broken, and eyes wet,
My pink self, and my pink wine,
Went, forever, inside my closet.

Shackles of My Mind

I wake up, tied,
Never realised,
I scratch, and I claw,
Not seeing the flaw,
Attempting to be free,
Wrestling, I, with me
Bound by my thoughts
Of positivity a drought.

They see me unhitched,
Wondering why I ditched.
Not noticing the shackle,
That I struggle to tackle,
They call it a phase,
Not seeing my maze,
I try to get out,
But my issues, they all doubt,
So I battle with half a heart,
As the other half, tears me apart.

Hustle

You’re made from your past, you make your future,

Such burden, and you wonder why many surrender?

Make each day count, use every moment,

Don’t sit still, don’t relax, and don’t you dare vent.

 

No you cannot wait, you cannot hide,

Don’t live your failures, take them in your stride.

Don’t watch the sunset, you can watch it tomorrow,

Forget those waves, time you cannot borrow.

You will reap what you sow, remember,

Work harder, work smarter, work faster.

Work. Work. Work.

Exert. Exert. Exert.

You're Robin' Them..!!

Snap, snap, snapping on phones,
not seeing people, skins or bones,
filtering, posting, helter-skelter,
while some sigh for food and shelter.

Lights check. Plating check. And snap.
Pushing away the plate, for a thigh gap.
Barely touched, it goes in the bin.
Picking at it, oh what a sin.

#outandabout #aboutlastnight,
Looking them in the eye, will give you a fright,
Their hungry eyes, sallow cheeks,
#photographygoals while a tear leaks.

Liking, sharing the #realitycheck,
commenting "oh what a wreck".
Going back to the snap, snap, snapping.
Pouting, touting, tappy tapping.

Wasting, throwing away a basic need,
Get a life, help them feed,
Go offline for just one bit,
Don't let humanity take a hit.

Waste no more, snap a little less.
Come together to sort this mess.
Forget filters, watch a bright smile.
Do something, this once, worth your while.
