A Life Trapped In A Mind

A creative outlet for a man trapped in his mind.

I hope this blog helps those that want it, educates those that need it, and you can find humour in despair.

I’m also from Yorkshire and have a cat.

  • Brainwash
    That damn hum That morish sound Wiping the slate clean With milky white eyes I stare forward As the gore around me barely registers I can still feel me underneath A puddle under a lead blanket But I’m not me anymore I’m a puppet, held by strings That damn hum
  • The Fog
    There comes a time in life When a fog rolls in Youth makes you run away Because the fog clings But it always finds you Like it’s tethered to you But if you turn ’round Walk like a pilgrimage You always get through And whilst it’s scary first And it does cling on It’s moreContinue reading “The Fog”
  • An Ode to Smudge
    You were my first And I was so excited to meet you When we got you home it was like you’d always been here Your paw got caught on the travel bag And you sat with us on the sofa You made me so happy, a little serotonin machine And I’m so sorry I couldn’tContinue reading “An Ode to Smudge”
  • Shadow Puppets
    Youth brings with it naivety Not of a negative kind, but one of purity And obscurity can hurt the mind at that time Telling lies becomes addictive And inflicting that on someone so young is harmful, no matter how far flung When you can’t see far, shadow puppets become God All knowing, showing you whatContinue reading “Shadow Puppets”
  • The Dream Is Over
    After what felt like a lifetime Like the world had stopped for us in a single place And the universe allowed us, for a moment, to be silent To take everything in and allow it’s nurturing essence into our lungs and our blood It is now over Will everything be the same as it is?Continue reading “The Dream Is Over”
  • Double Down
    The truth is all that matters Everything else flatters to deceive But flattering flutters it’s eyelashes And promises flashes of something magic That is tragically out of reach And to try to teach people to spot The not so believable truths is a chore Doubling down is the danger That any stranger wanting power canContinue reading “Double Down”
  • Brighter Days
    Brighter days on the way With people chatting and absently wandering Like idyllic zombies Brainlessly heading towards the next lunch or meal Incoherent groaning But why complain about what it is others do Brighter days on the way Make the most of it, it could be one of your last
  • Does Anybody Lie?
    Does anybody lie? Or is it just me? To gain what you want to? To indulge just you? Is it part of living? To deceive others? Or is living instead, To believe the lies? And live in ecstacy, For a little while?
  • Families
    Families are forever Whether you want them or not Political stances and virtue signalling They’re the only ones that you’ve got You could talk for hours and hours About gunpowder, treason and plot Or say the odd word And that could say a lot You feel the pressure to get on Even when the relationshipContinue reading “Families”
  • Born This Way
    Don’t think about rude stuff and kids, Or stabbing him in his pupil, And pulling off his own eyelids, Or anything else as brutal, Stop brain, I don’t want to shag that, It’s a worm, or a bird, or cow, I’m not going to strangle my cat, So please stop letting me know how, IContinue reading “Born This Way”
