Cheeky boy
Heather lydia thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Hey aya aya ay
Oh all right.
So many people walking by me.
I cannot look at their faces.
Cheeky boy, smiling.
But my mind is pacing and lying.
I fight the dark thoughts.
Any people.
Any people so many faces I cannot see past me by.
The feeling so small.
Higher. I scream higher.
Nobody sees me move.
Oh the soldiers have fought for me.
I drank a shake for good measure.
Heavy lines on the road.
Oh have I got a clue.
Battle the battle for me then for you when my pen is dry.
We no longer have time to weep.
Realities merged without a warning.
No more no more no more.
I can't be fooled.
Destined for greatness written on my shoe.
Ge day ge day ge day. I tell myself.
Myself.
Always myself.
I believed. I still believe.
My potential lit on your fire.
Can I ever know.
Ever ever know...
Your beauty.
