Starting Out All Over Again
Wild & Crazy, Names given to me,
Growing up this,
Apple scrumping and fighting,
No support in the family.
Divord parents immediately,
First in the playground, totally,
Dad isn't around to support,
Poorly mummy.
Lost & Hurting, inside this way,
No-one to talk too,
Block out problems,
Keep them at bay.
Story of hurt, Plenty I can say,
Moving forward,
Finally,
They are old and grey.
Loads of ideas in my head, Logically,
A bit unstructured,
Outcomes weren't always guaranteed
Frustratingly.
Licked my wounds for all to see,
Got to start over,
If I want success,
For me.
Retraining my thoughts, with some difficulty,
Need more structure,
Get a good mentor,
To show how its done properly.
Slow down to speed up, correctly,
Start a new journey,
Learning new skills,
In this old game called property.
In my 40's, on the right path to be,
Eating humble pie,
Determined to make it,
I'll show thee.

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.
