Lilac Room

Thank you lilac room, you've served me well,
I'm sorry for all the nail polish and tea I've spilled,
You've seen my secrets, my fears,
my best friends, my tears,
My loves and lost encased within your walls

A little girl grew up in here,
But she's far too grown up to live here anymore.

If I'm honest, my posters won hands down,
I even miss my lilac rug and dressing gown.
Flower stickers, books and toys,
cringey notes to year 6 boys,
now a can of paint is sitting on the floor

A little girl grew up in here,
she's far too grown up to live here anymore.

So here we are, the final goodbye,
I've got the leave the nest,
but I'm not sure how to fly.
Thank you room,
you'll always be
my warmest place,
 a home to me,
Turn off the lights and finally close the door.

A little girl grew up in here,
She's far too grown up to live here anymore.

September: what am I doing

When people ask you “what are you doing with your life?” You say .. “umm, I’m just going with the flow” Which is basically code for.. “yeah, I don’t really know”. You’re supposed to have everything figured out right?  You’re supposed to just know who you are? But you can’t help but look around and think mate,  I don’t even know where to start. You go from being a carefree child,  to a life full of responsibility, Decisions now have consequences and you’re sat there, questioning your abilitys. You’re expected to have a five year plan - house, kids, car, Yet you’re still standing at the starting pointing feeling like you’re not going to make it very far.

December : old habits die hard:

Old habits die hard, So roll a dice , and lay down a card And neck your drink, pour a shot, drink until alls forgot. Could grab my fags light em up or add some ket into my cup Might as well get all the drugs because any will do numb my pain For an hour or two. I’ll grab the takeaway, Stuff my gob More and more that’ll do the job.

Dear readers...

It’s been so long since my fingers stretched and yearned for the gentle clicking of the keyboard. Now I have chosen to be back online, with my thoughts unwinding onto the internet, trying to find a home in my own corner of the internet. When I first decided to post on here I was searching for an outlet for my mental health issues -a way of finding closure on my past. I wanted a way of telling people how I felt without having to actually tell them. U ltimately, this blog helped me understand myself and work out where I wanted to go  next,  whilst developing my own passion for writing. So , reaching the end of 2018 I have added some of my writings from this year in the hopes it means something to someone one.   Hope you have had a good year x
