At first people thought it was a scam. A tattoo place that can show you your future… c’mon. Then people started to realise that it was true.

I’ve debated getting my own tattoo for a while now, but I’ve been debating whether it’s better to no or not.

After a car crash 5 months ago took Deb from me, I reached a point where I needed to know… if there was a reason to continue.

Entering the store,...

Have you ever tried to describe someone’s soul as a colour? I haven’t… but why does it make so much sense?

You are so clearly a sky blue soul.

Sky blue - peace, calm… serene.

Sky blue - a warm sunny day that’s full of nostalgia. Those days that you would lay in a field, looking up to the sky with friends during summer.

Sky blue - trust and openness.

Sky blue - fundemental to my existence.

They say forgiveness is a virtue,

but I’d rather keep my anger.

Younger me’s sad little heart,

Dragged down by an anchor.

To the world, I was the issue,

To this day, I do not miss you.

I hope you’re happy in your own way,

To this day, the price I still pay.

During that time, I sank so low, low, low,

How low, no one will ever know.

I relied on friends and strangers for help,

Like a dog, I did ye...

When no one is watching, I let my mask slip,

My depression and anxiety really take a grip.

In these moments, my mind begins to think,

Dishes, plates and forks fill up the sink.

Am I still good when there’s no eyes to see,

Or do I allow my soul and mind to pay the fee.

When I’m alone, I allow myself to cry,

To myself, I never have to lie.

When no one is watching, I begin to grow,

Facing my c...

Christmas is and isn’t the best time of year,

For so many, this is a time of great fear.

So many people feeling like they aren’t enough,

In a cycle of buying more and more stuff.

Some kids have no presents under the tree,

How sad, a room with kids and no glee.

Some tables will be set with an unused plate,

A father, a mother, a loved one or mate.

Always remember, the warmth in the ice,

That Sa...

There’s a garden in the dark where only shadows bloom,

Petals black as mourning, fed by whispers in the gloom.

No sun has ever kissed it, no rain has graced its soil,

Yet roots twist deep in silence, where forgotten secrets coil.

I found it on a night when the moon had turned away,

Its air was thick with quiet screams that dared not see the day.

The stems, they stretched in stillness, toward no...

It was the third Wednesday of the month again. That means it was the night for Dave to have the monthly evening dinner with Jim, his colleague from work.

That evening, it was Dave’s turn to cook. Dave adored cooking. There was nothing he enjoyed more - well, almost nothing. Dave was in the kitchen cooking steaks on the pan, whilst singing along to Otis Reading’s, “The Dock of the Bay”.

“Those s...

My love, why do you doubt away your life,

One day, you’re going to be my one and only wife.

I know that sometimes you are overcome with worry,

That life can come at you, all in a flurry.

You let yourself get washed away in a river of fear,

You’re the one thing that I hold most dear.

Sometimes you let yourself get full of no relief,

Oh how I wish I could give you my belief.

Don’t let yourself...

Rick looks into the mirror and says, “I know you’re watching me.”

No response.

Rick can’t remember the last time there was a response.

To anyone else, it would look like paranoia.

Rick’s therapist told him that this was a manifestation of his anxiety…

Rick doesn’t think so.

To Rick, this is his battleground of emotion.

“I know you’re watching me.” Rick screams at the mirror.

The sweat ...
