You hold my hand,secure,safe.

Calm slow breaths make me know I am ok,

I can only imagine what life is like when you’re not with me but I don’t want to.

I am home in you.

Provisions enough to last a long time,needs fulfilled.

I have that calm centered presence.

I am my home, friend,my belonging.

Presence....

Connection between friends is easy for some


Picture a little photo of us in a hotel room and remember how good it felt to occupy the same space


Now you have made yourself an Island and pushed my little boat out to sea...

Riddle

Sarah P

1 min read

A break from continuous


Some space from the anxious


Some time to reflect and figure out me


No needing to rescue


Repetitive stopped


Missing you in absence


Finding me


We got routine down


Boring predictable dull


Resentment over tiny things


Overtired overtime things went on too long


Rubber band snaps


Sting


You’re gone


I know you’ll come back


You always have before


I need...

Dejected

Incompetent

You had no learning

Left out

You are so awkward

Rejected

Others felt bigger by making you feel small

Outcast

You chose to be alone

Humiliated

Why have people if they treat you like 💩 anyway

Apprehensive

Don’t try to fit in

Fearful

You don’t want to leave the house

Dunce

When it actually penetrates

Self acceptance

Be good to yourself,look after you.

You are worthy,yo...

You never shut up


Let me walk away


You act like I have all day


Please be quiet


I have listened enough to what you have to say


How do you lack what makes you aware


I try to look interested instead of blank stare...

Adulthood

You lost your childhood

Found my time

Lost your choice

Stole mine

I’m losing my time

You use mine

You lost your sanity

Delete my smile

I’m losing my mind

Found some good advice

You lost sleep every night

Try not to cry

I’m too wound up to get mine

Too vulnerable to say goodbye...

The Forest Of The Reds

Sarah P

3 min read

She wandered through the forest of flowers for what seemed like days,in fact it hadn’t even been an hour,time was warped by the mesmerising smell of the reds.



Her mother always warned her not to go down to the valley,those enticingly beautiful red flowers were toxic.


Annabelle had heeded her mother’s words until she was told about the toad man that lived in a cottage on the other side of the ...

Journey

You start at the beginning

Know what you need to by the end

Life is learning backwards

No reason to pretend

You gotta look behind you

To see how You got here

You don’t know it all

Know nothing until the end is near

Once the time is over

You no longer have to defend

You lived your life learning

Pass the knowledge on to your friends...

Trickle

Love open heart should have been


Craving


Fill


Empty as the ocean now desert is dry


Dust


Eye full of lust


Baby born to death in the end


A whole life spent searching for a friend


Lonely


Cry dry eyes


Nothing comes out


Dry open mouth


Dry bread to choke on


Do I have to beg


For the bare minimum


Just one beggar telling another beggar where to find


Bread Crumbs


For the bird...
