Burnt to Hell… Just wanna call home…

I’m updating my Facebook with different poems than I am posting here. If you like what you are reading, you can find my page HERE

Burnt to hell,
This song has me wanting
To make a call home.

I just want to ring up mum,
To See how brother is growing,
To See if sister has met a boy.

I want to sit and watch tv
While brother shoots his plastic guns
And sister frets over makeup before a dance.
Mama is with sister, fixing hair.

It’ll be peace,
With cat purring on my lap,
And birds chirping from their cage.
Everything will be alright.

But, oh forlorn hope,
I’m here, and I’m burnt
And this song won’t end.

This would be better with speed

This would be better with speed,
A couple smokes and some motherfucker
Who wants to step up.

Facing fears of future
With wind barely biting at my face,
Life’s too good to not live.

Laid bare, my eyes close
To reveal the barren nature of
What may come to fruition.
A shiver runs down my spine.

I’m fucking alive.
I’m here, and you can’t rid me
Without violent action.
Good luck with that.

Be it delusions or hallucinations,
I know I’ll walk the tracks,
Cold and lonely, dreading every step,
Relishing every breath.

I’m fucking alive,
Throat tight and holding back a piss,
Tomorrow brings another fix.
