Why Write?

Writing is a good way to release emotions and analyse them.

Writing down our thoughts can help us to heal through our emotional traumas.

Most of my poetry comes from the heart. Whether dramatic or humourous they all have one in thing in common emotion.

I have chosen a small selection of my poetry for you to read. You can see their titles on the right and can read them by clicking on each title. I hope that you will read them and enjoy =)

You took what wasn't yours to take.

For years I've asked myself why.

I've failed at believing it was all so fake.

It's now time to say goodbye.

Because of you I've lost my friends,

I've lost my pride

Did you know this would happen?

Or I was just a free ride?


Did it make you feel good?

Did it make you feel big?

To know deep down

That you make me feel sick?


I pity you

And others who dare

To disrespect me

And leave me bare.

Because years later,

And look at me.

I'm stronger, I'm wiser,

I still have my dignity.


I feel sorry for you.

So full of hate.

I take comfort in knowing

You'll soon meet your fate.

Oh my god! I'm Tired!

Why have I stayed up so late?!

I've always done this, my whole life.

I'm going to call it fate.

Fate?! That's it!

Makes perfect sense!

I can't count the sheep because

Fate took away the fence!

Oh my God! I'm tired!

I think I'll go to sleep

But I wonder who's in the chat

It wont hurt to have a peep.

Peep! That's all I'll do!

To see what's going on.

Oh I don't agree with that!

I'll tell them they are wrong.

Oh my god! I'm tired!

I'll go have a hot drink.

I've always loved this mug.

When it's hot the nose turns pink!

Pink?! That's right!

It's a nice colour! Don't you think so?

My I'm argumentative tonight.

Perhaps I'd better go.

Oh my god! I'm tired!

So why am I still writing?

Oh wow I love this song!

La-La!! That's how I sing!

Sing?! I do that!

And I think I'm good!

Well I don't care what you think!

You'd steal my voice if you could!

Oh my god! I'm tired!

I'm not rambling am I?

Ooh I'm getting hungry

Have I mentioned I love pie?

Pie?! Oh yeah!

That's the stuff!

Minced beef not steak!

Steak is too tough!

Oh my god! I'm tired!

This will be the last verse!

Of my odd and random silliness

Of which I have rehearsed.

Rehearsed?! It's true!

I repeat what I say over and over

So my wishes come true

Using my four leaved clover!

It's getting late

So I go to bed,

But I can't sleep

You're in my head!

I close my eyes

And try to dream.

Hoping and praying

You're the main theme.

We're really good friends

Wanted you for so long!

I don't care what people say

I don't care if it's wrong!

I can't wait to see you

Hold you so tight!

To hug and to kiss you

Nibble and bite.

Come to me one night

Let me show you what I can do.

You'll never want to leave.

Not when I'm through with you!

It's not love

There's no need to fear!

It's only lust

I just want you here!!

Although we've had a lovely day,

There is something I still cannot say.

I think about you all of the time,

I hide it deep inside, as though it were a crime.

Being around you makes me smile

But when I'm alone I just feel vile.

Oh why can't I tell you what I hide?

Deep down, deep down inside.

Never before have I been shy

I kissed the boys that caught my eye.

But with you I feel weak, I have no control.

I feel I can't speak, You have my soul.

And when we cuddle, with your arms around me.

I don't want to you leave. I want you to see.

That you mean the world and it makes me sad.

That I'm not more grateful for the time we've had.

I'll wait till next month for my time with you.

Planning in advance what we will do.

Thinking of the ways I can win your heart

Dreading of the time we shall spend apart.

I'll wave you goodbye as I always do.

With my fake smile, you haven't a clue.

How sad I am to see you go,

Why cant I tell you I miss you so.

Why shouldn't I?

Just a little drop,

It wont hurt to try!

They tell me it is good.

They tell me how they feel.

They say it works faster

If you skip a meal.


I've waited all day.

Haven't eaten at all.

This is the night

At the school ball!

Out the back we are hiding

What rebels are we!

I can't back out now

Everyone will see!

I watch them all do it

Then pass it to me.

"Down it!" they say.

All happy and glee.

I don't feel different

Perhaps a bit giddy

But this is so fun!

I'm really happy!

I'm starting to feel hungry,

So are the rest.

We'll go get some chicken.

Joes makes the best!


We never made it to the food.

Rushed to hospital instead.

Sat in the waiting room

Hoping she's not dead.

She's not dancing any more

She's not here, laughing.

Instead she lays still.

Quiet, not breathing.

I remember thinking

Why is there an age limit?

I've only just started
Now I want to quit!

If you ask me how I am,
I will probably lie.
I will tell you that I'm fine,
And then go to bed and cry.

Those closest to me wont read this,
They wont know the pain I'm in.
I put on such a show for them,
They don't hear the screams within.

I feel I'm really struggling,
I'm really falling apart,
Something inside of me is aching,
I fear that its my heart.

But I'm trying to be positive,
And lock it all away.
I'll hide my shame and sadness,
Save to struggle another day.

Some call it a blessing,
I don't feel blessed.
I don't want to get up,
I don't want to get dressed.

I just want to lay here,
Fade away, Die.
But instead all I do
Is lay here and Cry.

I have no money,
I live with my mum,
I have no boyfriend
And I’m a bum.

I am with child,
I don't want to be.
I'm not smiling
I'm not happy.

This is the hardest decision
I’ve had to make.
But I'm doing it,
For the childs sake.

Noone makes me feel like this;
So comforted and whole.

Noone makes me high like this;
When I'm feeling low.

Noone makes me smile like this;
When I'm feeling blue.

Noone makes me happy like this;
Nobody, but you!

Here I am sat at home wondering what to do.
Here I am sat at home. I havne't got a clue.

Should I do work?
Should I play games?
I work for a jerk
And my games are all the same!

Here I am sat at home wondering what to do.
Here I am sat at home. I havne't got a clue.

I'm contemplating sleeping.

It's such a comfy bed

Or perhaps I'll get a pencil

And write this poem instead!
