Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Addictive families

I am fighting an addiction that I cannot seem to shift,

 

Every single time I try it makes me feel like shit,

 

So tasked with making myself better, I reach for another hit,

 

Looks like I’ve failed again, again my mind set split.

 

Round and round and round I go desperate for that ride,

 

The pace at which I’m spinning starts to hurt my eyes,

 

I hold on tight ...

Follow the leader

I use my words for encouragement,

Like Fuck the government,

Or wipe away the tears of the years,

I use my words for punishment,

To Find the depths of all of your fears,

For now, those who desire change, please lend me your ears,

For tonight the fight back is fought, with all your gears,

And as the problems of today slowly disappear,

We can raise a glass to cheers the next ...

Redemption

We are a medicated Nation losing our patience,

Filled with Fear and Hatred through forced entertainment,

Leaves us Positively wasted and not in the shoes with which you came in.

Lets all point a finger and start blaming,

Let the news tell stories of rain and complaining,

Lets all sit still whilst Their still aiming,

Lets all start this and that shaming,

Or,

Lets all sit bac...

From Him To Her.

 

Although your not here, I still set your place,

 

My memory holds, your smile and your grace,

 

On my lips, your lips a familiar taste,

 

Your forever around me, still filling my space.

 

Broken I feel or better words to describe,

 

This pain I feel, now you’re not alive,

 

A better place to be, I do aggressively try,

 

To keep going yet knowing, I’m...

Long is the night

I see a couple standing together hand in hand, he says this is my woman she said he is my man,

There is something deeper here that we will never fully understand, they passed away some years ago yet proceed to walk this land.

Let your spirits teach you, lessons of life and love, no matter where you stand below or just above and fly together gracefully on the wing tip of a dove ?️

Farther and son

People abuse positions of power, that's just the way it is,

Some can buy themselves another house, whilst others struggle to feed there kids,

He's poor because he didn't try, often he's been told, I wonder if they could stand the years that he's been stood out in the cold,

The rich man walks the earth doing as he's told, no individual here to find as his souls already sold.

He let it g...

Loves fire

You have been pointing your gun at me,

You've been trying to make me see that your getting ready to leave,

Go,

You don't mean nothing to me.

Now your finding it hard to breathe, as you run away from what you believe in,

You told me that I hold the key, but now you don't mean nothing to me.

I used to feel the fire that burned in your eyes, you said you missed me once but you misse...

Established/ ment

Im not robbing the rich to give to the poor,

 

I'm taking from them so We have a little bit more,

 

A council house king, an heir to a whore, 

 

An obligation to stay here tied to the floor.

 

Our children bullied, our pets beaten and stolen,

 

Ask why the common man now has a heart that is frozen, 

 

 And Why he must watch every word that is spoken.

 

His...

The missing

Good to see you again young man, tell me have you made better choices?

 

Are you still stuck struggling young man, have you sucome to the voices?

 

You can be forgiven for the sins you did commit,

 

put it all down to the personality split, 

 

God won't judge you, you used to say he loved you, loved us all,

 

you should have been safe in this knowledge but no not at a...

The Darker Side of me

Visions of rain through a broken window,

Let it welcome you to reason,

Let it be beauty in front of you but you are unable to see,

May it be the sweetest fruit known as you lose the ability to taste,

The angel of anger different to us all, I will use mine so your unable to stand,

Crawling across the floor in the dark, let it be your blind hands frantically reaching for safety as you...

Facing the facts

The Gym, someone's business, another's sanctuary, his social club, her center of empowerment, my second home, and bill payer. The Gym, since it's birth it has been a place for socializing and engaging in intellectual persuits.

Gynos meaning naked, this is how many of us felt without our sanctuary, without our security.

 

A place to take classes, from which we learn how to move in ways tha...

Harsh Morality

People die,

 

Governments lie,

 

Humanity on standby,

 

Why so surprised,

 

As true as the sun is in the sky, 

 

Miles from heaven,

 

But closer to hell,

 

So make your home here, 

 

You had better make it well,

 

Would we do more,

 

If it was classified as war,

 

After all the thing on tv just killed the man next door.

Freedom and Fitness

I traded pints for press ups, 

 

Mad mess ups for sit ups,

 

Traded Cocaine and shame, for a better perspective of life’s game,

 

Drug running to running Miles,

 

Now running and lifting for no other reason than for this feeling of freedom,

 

Traded mistakes for nights in with protein shakes,

 

A hang over and hanging my head, for ownership of my own head space ...
