Head Fuck


Happened so long ago, 

Young, drunk, and silly,

Propositioned by a lady of the night,

Of a different type.

 

Dread, fear, get out of my head,

Bound to have got a dose, regretfully,

Suicidal now, something ain't right,

Please god help me tonight.

 

Time went by, confusion set in,

Feeling totally shitty,

Experiment with danger, lips shut tight, 

Secrets safe, not alone, feels kinda right.

 

Losing my mind, 

Clarity gone, feeling crazy,

Self destructing,

I feel so shite.

 

Acceptance of the past, deeds gone by,

Healing the hurt, slowly,

Memories stored of a fucked up kind, 

Feeling down still, something still not right.

 

Years gone by, changes a new, 

Life is on the up, optimistically,

Frenzy within, a darkened stain,

Come back to me,  stress and fight.

 

Realise this is a part of me,

Urges are not going anywhere, quickly,

Breaking the link, lead a calm life,

Perhaps my sanity won't take flight.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
