Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
Bad Dream
Niggling gnawing gnats
That bite and suck
On confidence and self assurance
Taking away your
“Doing the right thing”
Gobbling up your
“All for the best”
Morning shrieks that crumble
All defences; walls and banks
And rushing through the
Black and wet
Is thankless
Gnawing niggling gnats
That bite and sting
And crack the fragile frame of
“Hope it will be ok”
And perforate the skin of
“I really thought…”
No really, we all did.
So swat that gnat and spray
The anti venom
Of “I did my best”
And if you hold yourself to account
Then yes, I guess you did.
