Always Believe With such a low self-esteem I needed to start believing Believing in myself, that’s all I needed I believed I was worthless, no personality And quite plain looking, Over the past year or so, I believed It more than ever! Then only three weeks ago my eyes Have been opened wide To the person who me think All these things about myself The person I gave 15 years to The person I gave my heart to and asked Them not to break it and gave Every ounce of my love to, MY WIFE And it is her that’s all these things But in all honesty Her opinion means nothing I’ve now become me, I may have Green blue hair and love my dungarees But this is me There’s so many opportunities out there for me And when I’m free from locked doors Jingling of keys and barred windows I’m determined to grab the opportunities I’ve been offered With both hands and not let go For 15 years I believed I was worthless And now I’m happy and the real me I love the person I’ve now become and Will never allow anyone else make me Believe any different. Always believe That something good Is Going to Happen… ##poetsin

Little Devil I’m stood on top of this bridge With all sorts of voices screaming at me! “Just jump, go on, I dare you, jump!” “No, what is that little devil telling you to do and think? Why would you want to do that?” “Alright then, if you’re not going to jump, just wait for a passing car “BANG” it’ll all be over, you’ll be at peace at last.” I seem to have an angel and devil as the saying goes, ‘on each shoulder.’ I just want to shout, stamp my feet, and scream as loud as I can, just fuck off. But no, they are right there still walking right behind, giving me no breathing space. That devil always seems to win, not this time, I’m covering my ears, screaming at the top of my lungs and fucking that devil off, out with the old, in with the new!! ##poetsin
