gray rain Apr 2016
Forget what the society thinks for a day
see how your mind will start to sway
live the life you want to live
and think of the people you want in it
you were created
you are not there to be hated

Do what you want just for a day
see which way your views will sway
a life that you want to live
a life with only you in it
you may not want to live like this
but you know what will fit

Imsomnia
gray rain Jul 2016
Sleep isn't happening
Not tonight at least
I tried my hardest
But but my eyelids don't fall.

Bring me the horizon
Playing in the background
But I'm not listening
And my eyelids won't close at all.

Instagram I'm still getting likes
I don't know how I drew a tree
Because it's all I can draw
And I wanted too

So I'm not going to sleep tonight
It's just not happening
I want to sleep 'cause I'm bored
And don't have anything to do
But I can't

Forget My Life
gray rain Apr 2016
Forget my life
I'll dig a hole and live inside
away from pressure
away from hate
I'm not perfect
and I'll accept that fate
no need to put up a front
that kills me inside
I'm waiting for the day
when I can finally hide
away from all my troubles
away from all my life
the day when I can dig a hole
is the day my life will feel right

Without A Trace
gray rain Apr 2016
A wave of tears run down my face
I leave the world without a trace
except a note on the fireplace

ran into the woods and off the trail
the note reads "I have left the world, I am a fail"

It's my decision, I have drown
and left nothing but my body and this note you've found

Runaway
gray rain Apr 2016
I am running far away
away from the dark
away from you
away from my past
away from my life
I am running far away
because I cannot bare to stay

when I feel better I may return
but it is non of your concern
my life is mine
your life is yours
you don't control me
because you will fall
and you don't want to live your life to hit a wall

Follow Your Heart

Hallucinatory
gray rain Jul 2016
You look into my eyes
but yours I've never seen.

You lay by my side
but your touch I never feel.

You are always there
but it feels like a dream.

You are the perfect person
but you're not even real.

Change
gray rain Jul 2016
Branches reach but never touch
they are climbed
but no one ever reaches the top.
they're untouched ground
some small child wishes to reach
not realising that the top branches started at his feet.
someone grew the tree
and were tall enough to reach the top
but the tree didn't stop.
it grew and grew
and grew and grew
so it stands above all heads.
Those top branches have been reached
but no one will know until they find a way to get there aswell.
This is about how everything is changing and becoming more difficult and when people say I did it without realising standards are getting evermore difficult to meet. Though is open to interpretation. Also any help with the title would be appreciated!

Self Destruct
gray rain Apr 2016
I live to be judged
a life that is unjust
obey the world, that I must
and the ones I do not trust
will sacrifice the ones they love
to a force that is not us
to loose it all when I self destruct

Time

Time is an enemy
Time is a friend
Time is eternal
What you do with time
can increase or decrease
how long you live.

Live Free
gray rain May 2016
Go with the flow
live your life slow
watch people grow

time not t' waste
set a pace
not with haste

or urgency
it's not an emergency
life will last

watch people around
help them to be free
and lead them on this journey

**just by living free

Evermore
gray rain May 2016
Sometimes I don't feel like writing
I just want to listen.
The moments
were I ponder
about who I am
and write it down
in a poetic format
because it's a really addictive drug
and I'm already hooked.
Coming back.
returning.
Over
and over
again.
Like it's the only way to feel.
To imagine what feelings are.
To imagine love or hurt.
Is this a curse or karma getting back at me.
Striking.
Kicking.
Stabbing.
Over
and over.
Evermore.

Bruises
gray rain Jul 2016
Bruises that weren't there before.
You fell? Ok, sure?
They beat you up again
don't deny it's always the same.
There is no end to their game;
they beat you up, beat you up and
beat you up again.
Bruises that weren't there before.
If you don't admit it, I can't help you anymore.

Fail To Realise

The Bag
gray rain Jun 2016
this bag I carry round with me
has a lining of guilt
a pocket of false hope, false dreams
oh and I forgot regret
regret for not trying or failing to get back up
for failure is the heaviest and of that I carry much
whilst wealth is light and love is nonexistent
past fights and arguments increase the weight rapidly
the ratio of bad to good is very inconsistent
this bag grows heavier as I carry on through my journey of life
I wish I could empty it and then it would be very light
but that can never happen until the day I die

The UK Is Deteriorating
gray rain Jul 2016
First we left the EU
and the prime minister didn't know what to do
he left us with an empty number 10
and a handful of homophobes to fill it in.
Finally we were making progress
after hundreds of years of unacceptance.
Now the economy's a mess
and we have no defence.
We seem to be going backwards
but no one ever said 'trust a politicians every word'
Regression of the UK
lies told every day
building up hope
then the day after we hear nope
'I didn't care for politics
I'm just a overly patriotic *******'
So every thing will stay the same
and the UK will waste away
because of a bunch of lies
and hundreds of people terrified
for their future.
Old news but I was reading something about potential PM candidates being homophobic unaccepting of marriage equality and same-*** relationships and can't see it ending well considering the state of the UK at the moment.

I sound like a patriot, I'm really not. I'd just rather see progress than whatever has happened in the last month and what is to come.

Change
gray rain Aug 2016
Change is caused by many things
and are bound to happen
some for the good
some for the bad
either way they are part of growth.
Change is like food or sleep
if it doesn't happen you can't grow.
Yet we seem to stop change.
We as a society don't let people change.
We don't let people develop their views.
We don't let people find themselves.
We stop people growing so they can't see who they were supposed to be.
I haven't written anything for the past few days but I believe how I see the world has changed... a lot.

Coffee
gray rain Aug 2016
Coffee in the morning is the perfect way to start the day.
Why did I choose for a week to start it any other way?
To be honest though coffee ran out quick and there was a cooked of some sort everyday.

Stand off
gray rain Aug 2016
Waiting for the other to make the move when they don't want to and you want them to.
There's a story behind this
Today there was a guy who was wanted by the police on the roof of a house near mine. And the police wanted him to come down while he was throwing things at the cars but the cops didn't go up to force him down

Effects Of Death
gray rain Apr 2016
Race cars running round a track
some people wish to stop that
stop it before another dies
but they really couldn't care otherwise

death is a powerful thing
and no one knows why
until they experience it for the first time

a loved one
or someone you didn't know
death is powerful
and the effects always show

It effects people internationally
although when grieving you are alone
the effects of death will always show

Speaking Assessment
gray rain Jun 2016
Language is a complicated thing
that takes time to understand

yet in four days I need to know two
without notes on  the back of my hand

speaking is difficult enough
in the language that I know

but speaking two seems impossible
dragging words and so

talking really slow
just to waist time

or because I can't talk fast
and it's difficult
to remember the next line...

erm...un momento
siento haberle hecho esperar

I really need help
but I can't say that or I'll loose a mark
I might add more when I think of it.
gray rain Jun 2016
We're all prisoners
serving between five and seven years
some escape and find themselves somewhere else
some stay and accept the crime of being born
in the 21st century
where it is illegal to be out of education
so we are sentenced if we go
and our parents are if we don't
during your time you will be force fed Maths, English and Science - the stuff you really hate and never want to go near but what some wierd person really likes for some reason.
If you're lucky you may be rewarded
allowing you to play sport or something else you enjoy.
If you're not,  you have extra time where any such luxeries are stripped and you will be forced to sit in silence so you will learn from your mistakes.
If you're rich you can wake up later and pay for longer breaks whilst servings your time.
some will leave having learned nothing and will find themselves back for more time
but some will learn and graduate into society never to return.
To the place that kept them for many years.
I really don't know how the legal system works but I think I got the point across.

Better On My Own
gray rain Apr 2016
Don't give me anything
because it's human nature to want more.
Leave me to live my life
and see how high I soar.

I don't want your pitty,
I can do it on my own.
leave me to live my life
you've seen how far I've already grown.
gray rain Aug 2016
Forgetting how you felt in the moment makes you forget the memories made.
I haven't been writing much and haven't been happy and all the memories of when I have been happy are gone from my head. I'm kinda stressed from homework and other ****.

Empty Thoughts
gray rain May 2016
Just sat all alone
At home
With no one

With empty thoughts
Of naughts
No story plots

To be told
No thought that I hold
Message me with any ideas of what I can write about?

Don't Ask Me Out!!!
gray rain Jul 2016
You trust me
I trust you
Ask me out
And I'll punch you

We can talk for hours
about what we are not
our future plans
and how we messed up
I don't judge
You don't either
I haven't told you yet
But I don't feel the need to


I trust you
You trust me
Ask me out
And my fist you'll see

I understand you
And you tell me everything
Knowing that you only tell me
I won't share nothing
You can always talk to me
any time with any problem
I'll try help
But don't promise to solve 'em


I trust you
You trust me
Ask me out
But only a friend I'll be
The person this is for would know who they are. This is not a joke I will punch you then explain why. Don't make me explain or hit you.
