If love had the equivelant to redshift in light
we would know how far appart we've grown.

Instagram updates
a few days after
full of I'm gonna miss you
rather than laughter.

Tierdness sinks in
from a sleep deprived week
and even though the ground was rough
not seeing everyone is peak.

Why can't we ******* speak?
This silence seems to go on for weeks.
When noise is what we seek.

Deafening noise we want to hear!
Melodic noises we want loud and clear!
but we sit in silence over here.

You were a light in the dark
but you had to depart
now I'm alone
wishing you'd come home
before the house is attacked
and you can't bring the light back

They had a perfect face
One that you could stare at for days
They had perfect hair
That was an ocean of different shades of blue.

Nothing is definite in the world today
no matter what people say
the American dream
covered by screams
silence by politics and democracy
when the ideal world is based on anarchy
help each other
to help one another
not for a price whatever that may be
but because it's why we were created, people don't see
life is indefinite
but our effects are infinite
conservation
for the future generation
overrun by a system
for not us but them
they don't exist
but are the reason for change not to be dismissed
are we really doing if for the future of them or us?
social acceptance and helping people climb in to the system is it for the future or for our generation, for us!

I sleep in the morning
and wakeup at night.
There seems to be nothing wrong
but something's not quite right.

'Cause the sun's not out
when I'm awake
and it's presence
is not for me to take.

The darkness takes
the light away
but I've never met the light
because my night is my day.

home is where I want to go
home the only place that I know
home the only place that I miss
home but I don't know where it is

You're the knife stabbing me
I'm the one holding it

In a white room
thirty people
empty and plain
yet full and lively
everyone different
everyone same
stuck in a system
for hours every day
preparing for a future
that may not exist
existence destroyed
by being uncreative

in a white room
thirty people
just numbers
in a system
different numbers
but no name

Everyone is beautiful in their own individual way
Whether it's the power to be heard with what you say
Or the strength you show when you do not say

If you fell
I would catch you
but I'm not strong
so we would fall together.

I live trying to not
exhaust myself by
keeping up. But trying
not to fall behind
as that can be just as bad.
Just sticking
to the middle and
remaining there.
Average. Inbetween
the top
and the bottom.
Unseen and overlooked.

I don't really care for this
it means nothing to me
in a few years or many more
I'll forget all I've seen
all I learned
'cause it ment nothing
at the time
just a lost and empty soul
that I'll eventually find
and I'll realise why I did this
whether I regret it or not
'cause something that ment nothing
could eventually mean a lot

True friends don't stab you in the front.

They punch you in the face and knee you in the solar plexus.

But that wouldn't fit in the song.

My heart would be free
But my head holds the key

You're so far away.
Well a hour train ride away
and I met you last week
and it's been a quick week.
It's been a few hours and I want to see you again.
I can in my head over and over again
but that's just not the same.

Each night there was news
then we'd look at the views
Until we could see the stars of the night
and the fire light

What Is this?
I didn't even say goodbye
I never wanted you to leave
I never wanted to let go
but you'll live on in memor**y

Two days of school missed
I can't catchup on Spanish
my homework, I just can't do it
there's too many words for my head to fit
'food' was covered in year 7 and it's year 10 now
I don't remember any vocab, I don't know how
I guess the blanks, they're probably wrong
my knowledge of food and drink in Spanish is not so strong
I pick up my pen and try not to cheat
(use Google translate for help) although the translation's in the sheet
and I want to go to sleep
and wake up the beginning of next week (more like tomorrow or Monday morning)
I'll copy my friends they're in the same class
I'll get a few wrong it's not like there's anything to pass
or I could tell my teacher I don't understand much and stay behind after school
but I don't have time for that and it doesn't sound all that cool
she said I might not get it all 'do as much as you can'
so maybe I wouldn't have to stay behind if I said 'I don't understand'
It's only homework I can catch up on what I missed
but it's kinda difficult when I barely know Spanish

Skin reddening
blood heating
chest closing
heart beating

No matter how much
you pray for tomorrow
it will never come.

Silence
an eery sound
empty
yet fills and surrounds

Sometimes
it's cold
and terrifying

at other times
it's peaceful
and tranquilising

Silence
not a sound
sometimes it's lost
sometimes it's found

Your weaknesses is that you think your stronger than what you are
your strength, you do not have any
You fake your own strength to protect your ego
You think you are but your not a hero
you cannot defend yourself so you attack others
you lost your dignity when you had your first fight
your self respect only grew stronger
your strength, you don't have any
but your weaknesses there are too many

Roses are red
Violets are blue
This is as cliché
As it's possible too.

Wherever you were
Born and bred
Your clichéness will be
Ripped to shreds

Long story short
It's been said before
It's not a *one in a million chance
That when it rains, it pours

Or practice makes perfect
It's said all the time
I'm sick and tired of these clichés
They're really difficult to rhyme

Only time will tell
So be careful of what you're reading
'Cause everything happens for a reason
And looks can be deceiving

So if I think outside the box
And all dreams can come true
Then the use of a cliché
Would be enough to **** you

But if you're lucky enough
To have *played your cards right
This could be the first day
Of the rest of your life

How do I tell you I like you?
If you may not like me back.
How do I tell you I like you?
If I may not have a chance.

How do I ask if I don't know if you're single?
How do I ask when your so far away?
How do I ask if you may not feel the same?
How do I ask?

Friends
Someone you trust
someone you can talk to
someone who will accept
I no longer know if I have any
after today
I don't even know what to say
you betraying little *******
I don't know who to believe
you all tell me different stories
and all I need right now is someone to listen

Things get lost
words get lost

Until someone says something
and we suddenly remember where it went

it resurfaces then is lost again

One of us will be tall
One of us will throw a ball
One of us will fall
One of us will climb a wall
One of us will feel small
Some of us are nothing at all

No meaning
in being

No identity
inside

no emotion
no feeling

just numbness
undefined

heavy
and full

life is
just dull

nothing
no thought

emptiness
it aught

to be
fullness

of nothingness
of nothing

She was the queen of helplessness; she had just been crowned.

Cutting yourself
to feel something
something inside
like you're not empty

as you see the blood
pour out the emptiness
remains and the pain
doesn't disappeared

it stays
heavy
weighing down
it stays

unable to leave

you drain yourself
emptying yourself
into the sink
but the pain

remains and
nothing changes
you can't go back
the cuts are there

the scars a reminder
of the emptiness
the meaningless
the nothingness

you once had, a reminder
of a feeling you couldn't
be rid of

What did you do to the UK?

Why did lessen the worth of the pound today?

Where do you want us to go? There's no escape.

Who let UKIP have their way?

When did maths become a political debate?

Why did the 24th June 2016 become UK independence day?

El logro no es importante sí no lo disfruto. Hago algo porque lo disfruto no para ganar.

I should probably stop doing Spanish if I don't enjoy it. There's no point doing something I don't enjoy.

There's black and white and all the colours in between
Red, Blue, Orange, Green
but grey is the only one I've ever seen

Haha... this is gonna be funny.
Get to tomorrow and all comedic value is lost.
A lot of things are like this:
the UK leaving EU,
what we talked about on the coach yesterday
or what was said in the (really ****) hotel,
that photo on snapchat everyone saw.
All of these regrettable yet they happened and left consequences to deal with.
It may lead to someone loosing their job or being humiliated.
But NOTHING CAN BE DONE!
Things are regrettable but they cannot be change.

I can't do anything during the day
it's impossible to take my mind away
all my focus is on thinking of answers
but a lack of focus of what to me matters
until the 30 minute period where I sit at the back of class
and answer the questions I ask
myself. And write how I feel
and life feels real
and not like I'm programmed
to this system I'm put through
I can break free
it's just when you're in it
it's hard to break through

"Be anything" they say
how can we when we are forced to decide at the age of 13 and change our mind.

Sleep deprived
feeling dead inside
but I'm really alive
and living my life
sleep deprived

The sun is out,the sky is clear
something we're not used to  here.

fender amps spread music around town
the music in your room is turned up loud
pop rock, indie or punk
suddenly your mood has sunk
a bottle of Jack Daniels and then your drunk
crying unknown to what you've done
listening to the words that are sung
understanding the feelings of Lynn Gunn

You are my caffeine
You make my heart race
You make me act kinda crazy
But I like the feeling from a caffeine kick
When your not there
My mood is low
My heart is slow
And all I want is something that makes me feel the same.
Even though I'm not addicted to you like I am caffeine
I still feel the same when you're not there.

Sometimes I write how I feel inside
Sometimes I write what's on my mind
Sometimes I write how I try to hide
Sometimes I write what to me makes life unkind
Sometimes I write how I try and try
Sometimes I write how I want to die
Sometimes I write how people think I'm quiet and shy
Sometimes I write about time passing by
Sometimes I write what I'm trying to find

This is an attempt
to write a haiku but I
can't count syllables
