It doesn't matter.

 I see the hurt in your eyes,
But they win when your soul dies.
The pain plays on your mind,
Can't sleep then can't get up,
Life feels like a waste of time.
Bill's and dust gather,
The memories hurt
But you keep them close
Like a blade to cut yourself
When your weak,
Your scars speak.
Your hurt hunts you
Like a ghost
With no need to speak.
You've heard it all.
And it is always the same.
And it doesn't stop the pain.
Doesn't slow the thoughts
Your mind running wild.
No one understands,
So alone,
As your mind over thinks
And tricks you
To make everything bad.
To make a maze with no way out.
To fill your person with
An awful doubt.
To the point you can move,
As everywhere you go
It chases you.
Your own mind
A traitor,
Turned on you.
Unfortunately
This life
Too easy to be fooled

Phone me

 Staring at the phone
Likes it's going to tell me
Something I don't know.
Looking at it for three days straight
Like a lost lover I can't let go.
The message bleep
Dopamine release.
But chasing the glide
Of a the cut from new scissors
It will never last.
The TV plays in the background
As the phone steals
My focus and time.

New diet.

Recipes for your airfrier,
God loves a trier,
The booze loves you
And lures you in.
The need for release
Trying to find peace
For a mind that doesn't stop
And a battle you can't win.
You don't know what to talk about. 
You don't know the rules.
You try to work it out
But it's not them it's you. .
Maybe try and not take things to heart.
Let the past go.
Stop carrying everything.
Because the weight keeps you low.

The day tomorrow, and the joy it brings

 The worse is bringing booze to bed,
Cause the dogs raging.
Seeing the empty bottles
After a night of no sleeping.
I got the recipe wrong.
Not enough booze to shut me down.
No sleep and a runny nose,
I wonder does everyone in work know?
As I can't help another big sniff,
Like a cheer for the night before.
Blowing my nose,
But it doesn't stop it from running more.
Vision blurred
And I could sack it all in
Just for an hour in bed.
At lest I'm not paranoid,
Because the boss is
Always staring at me,
So I know it isn't in my head.

Frozen pizza blues

I've got the frozen pizza blues,
The weekend before payday.
The money doesn't stretch the same way,
Can't afford to go out,
Can't afford to put the heating on.
Extra pair of socks and no shoulder to cry on

Hide

 What you need?
Another half. 
Shits and giggles, 
And everything is fuk it, 
It is a problem I'll deal with tomorrow. 
Trying to feel better. 
Just so much hurt. 
Sure we'll cry about it tomorrow. 
And hide the hurt. 

Monday you

 You're a poet and we all know it.
But fuk me,
I've work tomorrow
And can't be bothered,
To work out
Is this a suicide note,
A poem,
Or a riddle for buried treasure
Or just a woe is me.
Will you be hanging from a tree
Or a message laughing manically?
No chill isn't good on a Monday.
