Poem: When I Don’t Belong

I know when I don't belong
That's why right now I'm contemplating getting gone
I don't want to be here
If you don't want me near
I've always tried to do my best by you
All I ever wanted was appreciation for the things I do

Instead you throw it back in my face
Telling me that I don't belong in this place
That I mean nothing to you and I'm just a waste of space

I don't need telling twice
I've tried playing nice
Even after you pushed me away
I still tried to stay
Maybe it was the wrong thing to do
But all I wanted to was be there for you
And in my head I just knew
That you wouldn't be able to do it alone
I've left, I've gone, but if you need me just pick up the phone
It's not that I don't care
You just made me feel like I didn't belong there

I hope one day you'll see
That you'll always mean something to me

Poem: A War We'll Never Know

They’re fighting a war we’ll never know

Just wishing for them to come home

But instead they’re out there

Doing the things we’d never be able to bare

Putting their lives on the live

Not knowing what they’ll find

Some have come home with battle scars

Some have come home in funeral cars

Others have mental scars

However they come home

They will never be alone

For we should give them as much support as we can give

For without them this life we’d be unable to live

We should remember the freedom they have given everyone

We have no reason to whine or moan

Because we are still walking the earth under the sun

With the chance to see are children play and have fun

Without them we wouldn’t have this life

Or the chance to hope and dream

So if things are the way you wished they’d be

Take a minute to think of those who have lost their lives fighting for you and me

Taken from my new poetry book.
