The Student's Anthem

I should be studying
but I watched a movie
and I baked a cake.
I should be studying
but I'm online shopping
and updating my facebook page.
I should be studying
but I'm performing bedroom karaoke
and watching videos of cats.
I should be studying,
but I wrote this poem instead
and I'm drinking whatever I could find in my fridge.

As The Floor Disappears

Creating an obstacle course,
shoe mines and a dirty dish maze.
Try to find solid ground,
somewhere to place my feet
and somehow leave nothing broken.
A sea of discarded ideas,
wading through a lack of time
I see my stress surround me
as the floor disappears.

Mess

My room's a mess, like I'm a mess
but you my darling
are still welcome in my bed
because the fragile parts of me
could do with someone like you
to hold them together.

Some Nights

You've come to accept
with good there's also bad.
Though there are kisses one night
some nights hold no comfort
but through these times remember;
there are kisses still to come.
There is no morality in mating
but there might be love.

An Apology for Being Pretty

Life was simpler when boys had cooties

now they all have an opinion on my face

and hips, boobs, bum, legs, waist.

Doesn't matter what the media's got to say,

I get called beautiful everyday

but nothing's as easy as that.

So if I'm a bit pretty, or more,

I'm sorry

I don't always think that way.

Effects of The Passing of Time

How we got on so well,
we had such good fun
and now you don't exist to me.
How I loved you always,
I looked up to you in childhood
then it was too late to say,
you passed away.
The precious nights we had,
and I actually liked you so much,
now you've got a girlfriend.
The nights we passed in laughter,
our unspoken love,
drunk nights connect us now.
We were best friends
but it all changed,
now you're a tear in my eye.
All these things I had,
slipped away from me,
you became things that make me sad.

Waging War

You threw your punch
but I have a solid defense.

Open my eyes
I see myself clearer.
Open my ears
I hear things much realer.

Surrounded by genuine people
I'm fast myself again
but seems like you're hiding,
your confidence all feigned.

You incited battle
and I swear I'll win the war.
