Awake In Bed
Lying awake in bed,Paralysed deep in my thought,Seeking long lost answers,To lessons life should have already taught,Am I even good enough for this?To just simply exist amongst it all,Who even am I?But a deluded and confused fool,I sit there pointlessly numb,With my mind pacing and racing,Pondering my crazy thoughts,With dreams I long ago stopped chasing,I ask all of life’s questions,In what seems like forever,But only minutes pass me by,I need to pull myself together,Lying awake in bed,Paralysed with anxiety and fear,Trembling like a leaf on the gentlest of breezesWith not a single thought that is clear,Not knowing why my heart is racing,No real excuse for this tremor plaguing my chest,Trying to calm my breathing,To let my tired and warn out body rest,Lying awake in bed,With silent tears filling up my eyes,And with an emotionless face,Covering the scars as the perfect disguise,Past thoughts, actions and decisions,Galloping through my mind,Like a bunch of wild horses,None of which treat me kind,Anger building up,Resentment and regret,What I wouldn’t do,For just once to be able to forget,Lying awake in bed,I struggle to switch of and relax,I just patiently wait for this punishment,To reach it’s finale or climax,Then I can rest,Drift of to the land of nod,Where dreams or nightmares await,My subconscious playing god,I awake in the morning,With just under five seconds grace,Pure emptiness,Before these emotions and feelings once again embrace,I get up and sit on the edge of my bed,And I take a deep breath in,I swallow all this pain and hurt,And I preform the smallest of grin,Cos although I suffer,And every day I fight so hard to survive,I will fight no matter what life chucks at me,Cos today I woke up alive.Wrote on: 31/05/2023

Slice
A new razor awaits,Aftershave at the ready,A deep breath in,To make my hand steady,A little tear,And the slightest of grins,Time to face the demons,That takes residence within,One slice for punishment,Another for the pain,One slice to remember who I am,Another to forget my name,One slice cos this is what I deserve,Another cos I’m ok,One slice cos this is my escape,Another cos this is my only way,The blood drips down my leg,The red tears of my soul,A spray of aftershave,Agony and pain is my goal,I breathe heavy,I tremble and I shake,Screaming “You deserve this”But just adding more to my self-hate,One slice cos I’m numb,Another cos I’m cold inside,One slice cos I want to live,Another cos I want to die,One slice for the memories that haunt me,Another for my future mistakes,One slice for what life offers me,Another for what it takes,I try not to self-harm anymore,But not cos I’m strong willed or tough,But its cos if I started slicing,I’d never be able to cut deep enough.Wrote on: 18/06/2023

Little Callum’s Dream
Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,To be happy and full of self-esteem,To not have fear and to be happy in life,To settle down, have kids and a wife,To live in a world that was safe and secure,To be happy and content and nothing much moreBut one day the devil he did came to me,Changed my mind and everything I see,Now all I see is darkness in my mind,With self-hating demons following me all the time,Voices in my head and tears in my eyes,I had a happy few years but now I just wanna die,Pushing people away, cos my demons they do stay,Cos I’m so messed up I just wanna fade away,Nightmares and terrors every single night,Mental health aint killed me yet but I’m getting to tired to fight,Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,To be happy and full of self-esteem,To not have fear and to be happy in life,To settle down, have kids and a wife,To live in a world that was safe and secure,To be happy and content and nothing much moreBut I can’t have kids and my marriage fell apart,So now I’m mentally ill but with a broken heart,I can’t find a friend and I can’t find a lover,Cos the world is divided and we all hate each other,No one can be nice, no one can even get along,Cos if you are right and everyone else is wrong,Money controls the world, it’s the only thing that counts,But I’ve lived my life skint, so my problems they do mount,We all hate on others cos we are all insecure,And if we want what they have we kill them in a war,We argue and bicker, horrible as they come,And If they beat us with words then we shoot them with a gun,Once upon a time little Callum had a dream,To be happy and full of self-esteem,To not have fear and to be happy in life,To settle down, have kids and a wife,To live in a world that was safe and secure,To be happy and content and nothing much more,But life is beautiful it's humans that make it hard,So much violence in this world, no wonder we are all scarred,We are in a massive rat race, so we must be all rats,And with the devil playing tricks on me how can I compete with that,And love is just a fairy-tale, made to make a profit,The reality is much darker and it will all turn to shit,Yet we live on a planet that gives us all we need,But we rape and destroy it cos we all live a life of greed,So fuck you little Callum and fuck your little dream,Cos life can be so cruel and it aint what it seems,Broken heart, broken mind and broken fucking life,So go to the kitchen and get the sharpest knife,Cut the pain away, and cut it all out,Cos when you had your dream Callum, you forgot about the doubt,So Fuck you little Callum you should really fucking die,Cos you promised me a dream but you told me a massive lie,I’m scared, I’m alone with demons in my head,And thanks to your little dream Callum, I’ll soon be fucking dead,I’m frightened, I’m nervous, I'm having a panic attack,And it’s only getting harder, I just wanna go back,So fuck you little Callum, and get that dream out your head,Fuck you little Callum, you should’ve had a nightmare instead. So fuck you little Callum, and get that dream out your head,Fuck you little Callum, you should’ve had a nightmare instead.Wrote on: 15/04/2023

“Little Callum’s Dream” with my mate on bass guitar
Please Note: This was the first time me and my mate tried adding a bass guitar to one of my poems. We only practiced this for about ten minutes before performing this in front of people. And it was the first time I performed this poem in front of people as well. Please excuse the glass collector as well (Noisy bugger lol)
Poems
The Child In Me
In the darkest of corners,In the depths of my mind,There is a young boy called Callum,Not yet distinguished or defined,He is free,From the punishment of age,He is innocent and pureWith his happiness yet to be caged,I try talking to him,But he doesn’t answer back,I apologise to him every single day,For the way I live and act,I make stupid decisions daily,Why? …. Just because,And I know he would be ashamed of me,If he knew what judgement was,I live a wreck less and selfish life,Drinking, drugging and smoking it away,And losing myself and who I am,Is the punishment I pay,All I have is a memory,Of that little boy that was me,I got his hopes and dreams and locked them in a cage,Never again to be free,I stole his future,And sold it for pain,I stole everything he had,And only left him his name,I put him on trial,Just to see him suffer,He gave me a chance of a good life,And my ignorance made it tougher,I stole away his youth,And then I blamed him,And I even risked his life,And gambled it on a whim,I reach out for him sometimes,,But I seem to be getting further and further away,And as I get older with age,He dies a little more each day,Me, age and life,Will end up killing the child in me,And we will drink from the so called cup of glory,And dance in the debris,I won’t realise the mistake I made,Until it’s too late,I made a fool from this child,When he wanted me to be great,His pure little heart,Will turn black with pain,And all the innocence he had,Will all die in vain,I know this innocent child will perish,But when, that I don’t know,But what I don’t care to realise or understand,Is that the child in me died many years ago.Wrote on: 30/04/2023
Poems
Vanilla Tears
Picking up the pieces of my broken life,With guilt and shame cut deep like a knife,With my depression the worst it ever has been,And heartache straight out of a movie scene,My loneliness started feeling a bit too lonely,Everyone wants a cuddle but no one wanted one from me,I heard of rumours of love from eastern lands,Who for a certain price will cure the heart of a lonely man,I walked to my destination with thoughts of naughty and fun,Swapping my pain and darkness for smiles and cum,I paid for a connection but I think I got short changed,Going down a road in life that even my demons find strange,A darkened room with seedy flickering lights,Telling tales of broken men trying to cure their lonely nights,I’m just another man with money in his pocket,Lured into the depths of darkness like a horny lost prophet,She asks me what I want with such luring eyes,I stammered out “To be loved” and then I cried,I want a skin to skin cuddle and to feel your heart against mine,I want to connect with another human, and peace I want to find,She takes my payment and then takes me to a room,With smells of broken men’s aftershave and a prostitutes perfume,We both get undressed, no messing around,I’m shaking with anxiety and a new, more profound guilt is found,She tells me to relax in her broken English voice,I make small talk and find out she’s here by choice,A beautiful woman desperate for money,We are both suffering in life, how ironically funny,She masturbates me as I hold her close,A Skin to skin cuddle, which is free for most,My whole allotted time I do nothing but cry,She sheds a singular tear herself, I didn’t ask why,Covered in shame I start to tickle her skin,If I can please her maybe this won’t be classed as sin,I get aroused, completely lost in my pain,Feeling dirty cos I don’t even know her name,Drunk on my sorrow, I cry as I cum,No more emotions, I’m back to being numb,30 minutes and my time is up,She hands me a tissue to clean myself up,She wipes my tears away from her aging breast,Says an awkward thank you then gets dressed,My tears now smelling of vanilla,Feeling ashamed and dirty, my conscience now being the killer,I shake as I get dressed,Tell her I’m sorry and wish her all the best,I leave through the back, no longer knowing who I am,Walking amongst my fellow humans, trying to blend in, if I can,I catch my bus home thinking everybody knows,Sat there patiently hoping my paranoia goes,I get home and I scream and curse at the demons that never leave me,I cry some more but this time it’s for free, Looking into a mirror trying to recognise myself,A Poor man who’s rich with a bastards wealth,I feel sick to my core, like never before,But for some reason begging myself for more,I’m a now dirty scumbag fuelling the underground,My reasons for going never to be heard, not even in a single whisper or sound,But I realise everything has a price, even connection and love,So I’ll be going again next payday, cos 30 minutes wasn’t enough.Wrote on: 07/05/2023

Day
With a cigarette hanging out my mouth,I’m a damaged man riddled with mental health,I pour myself a drink at 10am,To drown myself out and them,I huddle on the floor,Begging for no more,Never hungry, barely eating,Losing so much weight, at least fatness I’m beating,Put my iPod on random,Manic laughing listening to sad music, me and crazy in tandem,Smoke 40 a day,Drink as much as I can put away,Live in the prison I’m supposed to call my home,The loneliest prison I have ever known,14 hours of this,Crying, smoking and on the piss,Whilst my demons hold me tight,I cry myself to sleep each night,My day to day,Not much to say,I’m a drunken mess,Who to my own suicide I say yes,In a rut, depression I greet,Today, yesterday, tomorrow, Repeat.Wrote on: 12/04/2023

Please Don’t Notice Me
Please don’t notice me,I’m in a bad place today,Please just leave me be,And let me fade away,I’m very anxious and nervous,And I’m holding back tears,Lost in a tearful fearful emptiness,And it’s been building up for years,I have stuff to sort today,It’s the reason I was forced to come outside,I just hope that I’ve sobered up enough,And that you don’t notice how much I’ve cried,I just want to do what I need to do,Then get back home A.S.A.P.So please don’t let me break,Please don’t notice me,I know I’m failing in life,I know I’m a pathetic excuse of a man,I know I’ve fucked up and need to get a grip,But I’m so fragile I don’t know if I can,I won’t get in your way,So please just let me do what I need to do,And If you leave me be,I promise I won’t breakdown in front of you.Please don’t notice me,I beg of you once again,Please don’t notice me,I am at my end.Wrote on 11/04/2023
Poems
The Nuthouse Rap
A thug in a white coat giving me medication,Locked up for a month for angry meditation,All I hear is the crazies screaming,With me mad as a hatter thinking I’m dreaming,Looking at the bruises that the coppers gave me,Praying to my atheist god too come and save me,Getting my backie stolen when I go for a piss,A nurse handing me a razor hoping I’ll slice up my wrists,I’m so scared that it’s making me worse,Playing with witchcraft and voodoo dolls to lift this curse,Talking to my hallucinations like a nuisance passenger,If he steals my lighter again I’m going on a massacre,Can’t stop laughing whilst I’m crying,My mind gone mad, slowly dying,So confused, can’t stop if’ing and why’ing,Off my head, reality I keep defying,I’m in this nut house howling at the moon,What did you expect from someone who’s crazy as a loon,Big bad bully nurses picking on me,My hallucinations aint the only evil that I see,But complaining falls on death ears and eyes don’t seeCos I’m mentally ill so no one will listen to me,So I’ll do my time, write my rhymes,And one day I’ll be out in no time,Just serve this sentence of evil and hate,Then this crazy man can walk straight out the gateThen I’m out on the streets and I see all your normals,Chaos and madness but it’s presented as formal,It’s obvious that I stand out like a sore thumb,So confused that this is what I wanted, I feel dumb,Is it me or is it you that is ill’er,I’m a newly released mental patient walking around with killers,The normality sends me crazy,Whilst the blood on your hands makes you all lazy,I don’t want to be in a nuthouse all my life,But when you’re married to crazy and madness is your wife,The streets are dangerous, to dangerous for me,Even tho the devil I do see,I got released, a free man I am,But the madness I have is minimal compared to my fellow man,I’m scared, I’m alone, I’m having a panic attack,So Fuck this shit…… I’m going back!Wrote on: 30/01/2023

The Carnival For The Lost – The Merry Go Round
I’m at the carnival for the lost,The damaged and the broken,On the merry go round all by myself,And on the fumes of misery I’m choking,The tune is all distorted,Once a delight to hear,Now all demonic,Spreading hate and fear,The horse of death,For which I am perched upon,Go’s up and down and round and round,With both our minds now fully gone,The joker, the jester,The man of this machine,Now only a figment of a ghost,For he never manged to get clean,This was once the towns delight,Bringing people from near and far,But only the darkness remains,And having hope is considered bizarre,The devil haunts and taunts me,At the carnival for the lost,It was free to ride the merry go round,Only my soul it did cost,So I will ride the horse of deathUntil my soul has been spent,Then spend the rest of my existence,In the devils torment.Wrote on: 2401/2023

Nightmare Makers
When I go to sleep,I know that demons start to creep,Haunting my every dream,Watching over me as I restPutting my insecurities to the test,Always the same old theme,Dark demented beings with cold black hearts,Staring straight at me from the start,Sat at the end of my bed,Invisible in day, only clear to closed eyes,Watching me whimper, watching me sigh,Getting evermore deeper inside my head,They feed on darkness, they feed on pain,Softly touching our feet, time and time again,You know… I’m right,Nightmare come, nightmare go,Straight from hell, a pure demonic show,Haunting my restless sleep tonight.Wrote on: 14/02/2022

Cos I’m Me
Will I ever know the reason?Why my mind has performed treason,Why I hate myself so much,Why I beg for a painful death and such,Why I feel not worthy of life,Why I slice myself with razor and knife,Why my demons never stop,Why my life for death I’d swap,Why I drink until I’m deep into an abyss,Why with even cocaine I don’t find internal bliss,Why do I never feel good enough?Drink and drug it until I feel rough,Why do put myself down all the time,Why peace, I will never find,Why the past haunts,Whilst my demons taunt,Why do I hate my waking soul,Why do I never feel complete or whole,Why will my demons never leave me be,The answer to all this, is because I’m me,Me is the problem, the reason I suffer,Me and only me and not a single other,So if you see me with a sad lonesome looking face,Depressed and moping about the place,Don’t ask why I can’t ever be free,I’m just tired of the weight of me.Wrote on 08/04/2023
Poems
Loner Socialite
I’m a strong survivor,Who barely makes it threw it each day,A strong leader of men,Who’s got lost somewhere on the way,I’m a hopeless romantic,Whose heart is broken,I’ll give you the air we need,But on it I’m choking,I’m a poet,But I don’t know how to spell,And as my words send your mind to literary heaven,My soul goes further into hell,I’m the life and soul of each party,Who’ll make you laugh all day and all night,But I also am a nobody,Who cries himself to sleep each night,I’ll make you feel good about yourself,Tell you that you’re worth it,But it won’t work both ways,As I never stop feeling like shit,I usually have a smile upon my face,But inside I’m crying,A smiling clown with tears in his eyes,Like an angel that is secretly dying,I’m like a lost prayer,To a bible that gives hope,I promote life,Whilst online shopping for a strong rope,I have NFG tattooed on me,No Fucks Given,Jump in whilst the fire’s hot I say,But in the shadows, I stay hidden,I’m a socialite, and I’m a loner,I’m a loner and I’m socialite,Your best friend who’s always admired,But I go home alone each and every night.Wrote on: 27/03/2023

Burdon Beyond My Sins
No matter where I go,No matter what I do,I feel like I’m a burden,Not a part of all of you,I feel like an alien,I feel all alone,I feel like I’m unwanted by society,And this overwhelming feeling is all I have ever known,Maybe I would be better off dead,Maybe it would be better if I wasn’t here,Cos I’m tired of this constant feeling of isolation,And tired of crying my tears,I know I’m too much at times,Needy and insecure,But I feel like spending time with me,For all of you, is a chore,I always feel in the way,A feeling I have deep within,A problematic fuck up,I’m a burden beyond my sins,I don’t feel part of this world,I am a socially inept outcast,And I convince myself that if someone wants my friendship,That it’s fake and won’t last,I feel like my words are not my words,That I speak gibberish and stand out,A crazy man on the loose,A noticeable weirdo who shouldn’t be let out,I’m alone in the shadows of life,Forever the beast no one needs,And whilst you are all pretty flowers,I am nothing but a weed,And no matter what I do in life,This alone feeling never goes away,So from birth till my death,A lonely burden I shall stay.Wrote on: 10/03/2023

Another Day
Today is another day,Another day of loneliness and isolation,Another day of not feeling wanted,Another day of chronic masturbation,Today is another day of feeling tired,Fatigued, old and unwell,Another day of being tortured by my demons,Another day of hell,Today is another day,Another day of being broke with no place to go,Another day of hating myself,With fresh cuts to show,Today is another day the doctors phone me,Phoning to either moan or sympathise,Today is another day I say I’m ok,Another day I tell them a lie,Today is another day,Another day my head screams kill yourself,Another day of me contemplating suicide,Another day of mental health,Today is just another day,The same as any other,I have to wear my mask and face this world,Instead of hiding under my bed cover,My life is a struggle,No matter what I do or say,Hopefully tomorrow will be better,But tomorrow is just another day.Wrote on: 07/03/2023

The Seven Seas of Sad
My river of tears that I swim in,Getting deeper and deeper the more I swim,I flooded the banks and I flooded the land,Even the reaper didn’t have any of this planned,My lonely tears keep falling down,I’m know my fate, I’m sure to drown,Stormy weather’s straight ahead,But clear skies a wait once I am dead,There is no saviour waiting for me,My lifeless body will float to sea,My tears didn’t keep the demons at bay,Only the burden that was once me was washed away,Tears of burden, tears of mad,I sail the seven seas of sad,Washed up on a rocky shore,Like the tears from once before,My soul an outcast, this life is rotten,Just another dead man soon to be forgotten.Wrote on: 21/02/2023
