- the beast with no form that is personified here as the noose-

*

The noose hangs

Suspended by its own weight

The heavier the rope the harder it is to break -The eye contact that it makes

On those late night calls

not just to me,

personally,

But to anyone who will listen to this fool

It will say that It longs to hold you

Really it wants to be held

Lifting you up as you fell

But they will have to cut you down..

I did not tie this noose

Wait..

Maybe I did,

Through all my actions and pain

Tying untying tying

over again

Maybe we all tied it together,

Maybe it tied itself..

Either way,

It's was here before me

And will be here long after,

unfortunately

The eternal-

Staring

faceless form

Lost expression,

thick knots of depression

A Black Mile

Staining your skin seems like a pretty big commitment to me.

It’d probably the tree,

The image to the sound,

That got me through.

That understood me when nothing else did

The image to the sound

That scarred my soul

I guess it shows how much that tree means to me.

I’ve never been the best at commitment.

I quite Karate twice.

I got a lifetime ban from the same McDonalds, twice

I can’t stick to anything.

But I’d stick to this.

For what it means to me.

For what Andy’s words awaken in me.

They transcend

They transform me

They transport me

A Black Mile To The Surface.

Speed

Drive to work,

Average car, average speed,

Watch fuel, watch speed,

Turn on news,

Trump tweets, Putin, Brexit,

Turn off news,

Arrive, same destination, same time, ish,

Leave car, start on foot, want to laugh at something funny I heard the other day, can’t would look mental,

Smiling now, bite inner mouth to stop,

Stopped,

Uniform socially acceptable vacuous expression back on,

Chest eases,

Breath,

Attractive couple walk past,

He loves himself,

She hates herself.

Pit stop,

Homogenised coffee chain,

Familiar coffee, safety coffee,

Overpriced coffee, indifferent coffee,

Reusable cups, I should do my bit, think of sea life,

Never end up getting one, pang of guilt,

Good idea though, uniform coffee ready,

That’s 1.6 million pounds please, only ordered a medium?

Exaggerated smile,

Same time tomorrow,

Back to scowl.

Resume death march,

Should park closer,

Enter building, scan to get in,

Take lift,

Should take stairs, Fitbit, steps,

#Goals, seeking perfection, never enough, failure,

See another person, hello, don’t care,

Pretend to care, goodbye,

Aim for desk,

Sit. Die inside.

Working now,

Doing work stuff

Now,

Now, like a machine gun,

Now,

Email stuff now,

Talking work now,

Rushed now,

Everything ends up later……now,

It keeps the lights on work, going to explode work, flip my desk work,

I will tomorrow, out in a verbal blaze of glory,

Then oh shit,

Time to go, check Fitbit, #goals, more failures, chasing star bursts, why?

Its not that bad, means to an end, as they say, who is they?

Travel home, dinner, already prepped, save time,

Piggy bank time, for kids I don’t have yet, don’t like kids, for tomorrow, never today,

Healthy, clean, green, cardboard flavour, nicer than unhealthy,

No, it isn’t,

Prefer a burger, can’t, not Saturday,

Watch waistline, why? happy how I am,

Shouldn’t be, could be better, but make sure you are body confident,

But be healthy,

But be beautiful,

But be body confident,

But be healthy,

But be beautiful,

But be body confident,

Another machine gun, but but but but,

But find a balance,

In a time of tight ropes.

- Charlie Hasler

The thing with light,

is it eventually dies out,

Like a mute in so much pain,

he suddenly cries out,

He smiles every day with a tear in his eye,

And then it dries out,

So you say suicide is selfish,

but ain’t it just a needed time out?

Because without the darkness surrounding us,

How can we expect to see the stars?

Like how can a scared little kid,

be forced to grow up too fast?

Now he’s grown into a scared man,

who’s covered in too many scars,

They’re constant reminders left from the damage done by his past,

Every day is a battle and he’s fighting so incredibly hard,

But for every mile he pushes on, he has 1700 more yards,

Have you ever celebrated Christmas, where you’ve had to sign your own card?

So when you say that you’re lonely, is that really from your heart?

Because that’s the world we’re living in,

Survival of the fittest now they’re giving in,

Scared to stand out it’s all about fitting in,

Put into boxes and it’s belittling,

Can’t focus on hope when the pain is crippling,

So it must be adhd and the cure is Ritalin,

Or we’re excited by life and no one’s listening,

Now as adults the effects are rippling,

A cure for depression is popping pills that make you feel less than perfect,

But the main side effect is suicidal thoughts,

So tell me is it even worth it?

In your eyes, a cry for help is attention seeking but you’ve obviously misheard it,

So you just pile more pressure onto a man who simply doesn’t deserve it,

Like a sheep he follows, but he has the strength and power to lead,

He’s been fighting a life that he honestly cannot wait to leave,

Depressing lyrics that give some people hope, it depends on what you read,

A shoulder to cry on, an end to the pain, it depends on what you need,

Depression is weight on your chest and having tears that won’t fall,

Life is a driving test and you’re praying to god you don’t stall,

Because loneliness is a killer and it’s been over a month since you’ve had a phone call,

So you’re just delaying the inevitable, your emotions are being stonewalled,

You can take responsibility for your actions but this isn’t just your own fault,

Statistically speaking, if you look at your past it really was a close call,

Just like having an injury right before you’re about to play pro ball,

You’re always taking a dive but no one understands that it’s a slow fall,

They say tomorrow will be a different day, when every day is the same,

He falls asleep listening to the sound of his own cries and then he wakes up in pain,

Every second of every day he is over taken by the guilt, the anger, and the shame,

He had so much fire inside of him but now he’s petrified of the flame ©️

6am

A heavy lace follows round my heart,

I cough,

Startle me like the morning and I will reply in the haste of a lamb,

Memories trickling down my mind like candle wax,

All for what?

I wonder,

Follow the lines...

Be good and be kind,

I stretch to over come them,

The pianist playing my chords is at ends,

He wipes his brow,

Been there days,

Holding out for a miracle,

For holy sound,

As do I,

Grinning in the soft heat,

I dance upon the corals,

Waiting to find

Me.

I dont think i am doing enough. I dont think i can rest knowing you dont feel like the queen of the world. I believe in making sure people know how much they mean, even if it sounds like a different language to them. You might be finding it hard to believe but i think of you more and more as the days go on. I spent so much time waiting for the sunrise that i didnt realise you are just that. You tan my heart and my soul, im scared of what that means.

MOOD: How do you tackle sadness.... What measures do you go to just to not let all the negative feelings consume you.. How much is going that little bit to far?? How much is enough? I stare at my ordinary... I count my blessings for the food in front of me ,clothes on my back. For there are those who’s ordinary is fighting for survival. Sadness rents out the space where part of my heart use to be... it pays its bills with tears and anguish... but i’m past that point.. Its Over... The constant stress, the pain, the countless times i’ve STRETCHED to connect you to your treasure, i’m just done with it all... So i’ll stare at my soup... content with the ripples of acceptance that somethings are better left alone... Yeah.. i’ll just stare at my soup. A.B.H.

Shot taken at a metro station in Berlin.

Also, my sister is a writer (she won't like me saying that but she is) who likes to blog - poetry is her main thing.

So, for anyone who likes that stuff it'd be really cool if you could have a read of her latest post 'Am I An Aesthetic?' at: nabsticle.blogspot.co.uk

what can i say -

rhymes like knives

poetry is pain.

cutting its own way out

leaving my vessel piled on the side

forming its own person

taking its first strides

‘why do you do that,

why doesn't it look like this?’

I do it for nothing and that's okay,

I do it only to exist

Alone

We conquer,

We fail

We fly

Alone

We capture;

Our spirits -

Alive,

Alone?

We trespass,

Compete,

Prevail,

Alone...

comparing

Sights,

Unknown

Alone,

Catastrophe

Promises,

Broken

Alone,

My heart

Keeps on

Hoping.

Im too fat.

I'm too boring.

I'm nobody's first choice.

I'm not worthy of love.

I'm not sure i can carry on.

I'm not sure anyone cares.

I'm not sure i do either.

I'm sorry.
