My Dolly


My Dolly 


My Dolly's like me.
Her eyes are blue
But when I smack her,  
Or whack her, 
Her skin doesn't bleed! 
She doesn't cry, 
Her hair stays still, 
My dolly's like me  

When my bruises are gone



This was first written in 2011 and yet abuse is still a wicked part of our society

Flakes


Flakes



Flakes and flakes fall from my skin,
Making it so shiny and oh so thin,
Gels and cream, my skins impregnated!
Scales form seemingly unabated,
I can cope with flakes and itchy skin,
It’s the stares and glares from the masses
That keeps me indoors as my life whips by,
 and time just passes,
No one is perfect or so that’s the saying
My skins got ADH and is just overplaying
The cells from this huge organ are just extra quick
Not allowing me to feel comfortable and socially mix.

Running Out Of Time

Running Out Of Time 





Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Time is running out 
Its a race against the clock 
Tick...Tock

Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Blood is been filtered, 
Dialysis still leaves me feeling crock, 
Tick...... tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Lungs scream for air, 
Scarred, ruined, unable to repair. 
Tick......... tock 


Tick,  tock, tick tock,
Heart is slowly beating, 
Until its final stop, 
Tick.............. ........Tock 

Tick ,tock ,tick, tock,
People can be saved ,
The situation is grave, 
Tick... tock 

Tick ,tock, tick, tock
Time is running out, 
Its a race against the clock, 
Tick, tock ,tick,tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock ,
Tick ,tock
Tick,
Tock,

   STOP !
