Poem I Wrote Years Ago...

Recommended Posts

Sorting out my storage cupboard, and coming across lots of diaries and drawings... a video camera and a usb memory stick, lots of files on it, found a poem i wrote, the usb device dates it as 2007 but could be earlier than that i suspect... found it quite amusing, but sadly STILL very familliar...

Pray i'll fight another day

Woke up this morning with a bang,

My brain telling me its terroists again.

Go to the toilet, don't touch a thing,

dont sit on the seat if its not clean.

Flush the chain using tissue,

8 layers required, so that germs aren't an issue.

Turn on the taps using my sleeve,

all the germs off wot a relief!

braekfast time? am I hungry or not?,

and if I am what do I want?,

Sandwhich, I think, bacon and brie,

but isn't it fattening to eat too much cheese?

well im fat anyway, but i'll use the grill,

but if it catches fire it could kill, and now i've thought about it, it probably will,

Ok now the bacon should be done,

check the grill 3 times make sure its not on.

Butter the bread with the knife,

careful, if I slipped it could take my life.

time to cut, start to score it,

straight or diagonal 2 or 4 bit?.

Time to eat, but which way round,

back to front or upside down?.

I decided and ate it now,

now its time to go down town.

Tissue on my shoe? flies undone?

I swear i heard someone making fun,

Got my wallet, but wheres my fone?

Oh no! im sure I didn't leave it at home.

Oops! its in my pocket been there the whole time!

but I still feel i've left something behind,

maybe I left on the grill, or didn't lock the door,

i'll have to go back and check some more.

Finally I get to the shops,

but now im here i've forgotten what I want

Oh yeah night out! I really need a top

black or red, black or red? someone make it stop!

Can't afford both, GGGRRRRRRR i'll just get neither

now i've got nothing wear no trousers either

Ah I know that other outfit, AMEN!

but will someone notice that i've worn it again?

right decision made, ill leave the shop

theres a security guard, will he make me stop?

has something fallen in my bag?

or something hooked onto my jeans at the back?

past the alarms, heart beating ten to the dozen

and oh my god! did I turn of that oven?

right bus stop, round my mums for lunch

actually why she being so nice, i've got a hunch

Where the hell is this bus, makes me mad

been 5 minutes, im the bull the bus is the rag

Here it is, blunt with the driver,

Don't give him the change give him fiver,

get it straight in my head where im going,

what's this driver doing why is he slowing?

Stopping for people to get on,

lots of them queues so long!

oLd lady, middle aged man, woman with a child

why am I looking am I a paedophile?

...man with a dog, OH NO a muslim guy!

padded jacket, a bomb, man im gonna die?

Just shut-up now! thats racist talk,

NO! its cautious, beside hes got a funny walk

Ill move to the back, thats where ill stay,

now if a bomb goes off I should be able to walk away

Now the next stop is mine

not a busy place, no target, should be fine!

Back to the quetion why did mum invite me round,

Hold on a minute wots that sound?

A plane! where? what kind?

ah just the lifeguard and going in a straight line

Dinners done just as i walk through the door,

Please check my chicken I think it's raw

alright its ok, but these peas taste weird

oooooh maybe theres poison been put in here

Thats the reason she wants to get rid!

Lou, don't listen to the voice in your head,

now having a right laughbut can't tell her about OCD

she will think im just paranoid, or think im a freak

Ill just go home and go to bed,

maybe that will stop the voice in my head

at home now, check everything safe

am i missing something staring in my face

touch the TV three times or your gonna die,

Don't be silly, but i'll do it to satisfy my mind

in bed, will I kill someone in my sleep,

couldn't handle prison, im too weak!

and what if i sleep and begin to talk

someone could wake and hear my thoughts!

If they heard, i would be exposed,

and destoy the normal person i've posed

Maybe I should sleep when someone wakes up

then there there if a fire erupts

and where my cat, "where are you babe?"

wot if someone broke in, took her away

there she is, ill give thanks and pray,

and pray ill fight another day.

There's loads of poetry slams and things like that around - you should start performing again! I'm not really sure hoe to get published either but I bet you could find out through good old google - I think you definitely have the talent for it! xxx
