This book is a collection of poetry covering various topics which affect society we live in today. Such topics as addictions and mental health are included which are perhaps topics you perhaps have never thought about or come across before.

The aim of this book is to show that others have went through similar issues. I am not a counselor or a professional but through personal experiences I hope that when reading my poetry you can connect with the emotions portrayed.

The playpark

Inside my mind is like a play park,

Although it’s far from fun.

Uncontrollable mood swings

That make me feel sick.

One minute I’m happy and contented

The next I’m acting like a spoilt prick.

Lower than the ground I walk on

Feeling like a piece of rubbish to be thrown in the bin.

Why oh why can’t I stop this

Why does depression have to win?

Then there is the roundabout

Spinning all the time

Never a chance to catch my breath

To turn the other way.

Going in the one depressing direction

And no one around me knows what is safe to say.

Don’t get me started on the see-saw

It explains itself!

And the slide probably the most important

Because I know that’s my biggest battle of all.

The taste of alcohol is like fuel to my mind

It takes me on that slippery slide

Allowing me to do things I can’t rewind.

So you see for many people a park is full of fun

But for a person with depression it brings me none!

Stumbled across this image today when looking for  a picture to do as a tattoo..think it’s beautiful

The horridness of a depressive mind

frustrated woman at computer with stack of paper

Thoughts flood my mind

Horrid thoughts I want to rewind.

Thoughts of death

Thoughts of being here no more

My life a culmination of one big bore.

Planning, thinking, choosing what way

Dare not tell anyone

I know what they will say.

Thoughts of wanting to hide

Hide away so safety is on others side

I don’t trust myself to be around you

I’m scared of what my mind wants me to do.

You don’t need anymore pain

You’ve had enough.

I know you love me

But living with me has to be tough.

The mood swings, unpredictable highs

The staying in bed just wanting to cry.

You have been so patient and so kind

It is thoughts of you that I now

Try to flood my mind.

Why is life so cruel?

I sit here in the darkness trying to make sense off today,

You wished me happy birthday, then God took you away.

No chance to say thank you or invite you for a drink

Gone in a second before I had a chance to blink.

It’s as if you knew what was coming, as if you saw the signs.

You had so much to live for, so much still to do

Now I’m left wondering why did God have to pick you?
