Poem Exhition: Text

What Should I Be Thinking About?

Should I be thinking about the future?

Should I be thinking about the past?

Should I be thinking about my family?

Should I be thinking about myself?

​

Thinking of my career or my children

Thinking of my phone or my flowers

Thinking of my love or my hate

Thinking of my breakfast or my tea.

​

About loss or gain

About words or letters

About my body or my brain

About success or failure.

​

Poem Exhition: Text

I Would Love...

I would love to love you like I once did.
I would love to appreciate everything you are now
I would love to hold your hand without remembering
I would love to forget about the past
I would love to just be us as we are now
I would love...

I am Dying

I am dying 

I am suffering 

I am decreasing 

I am suffocating 

I am drowning 

I am burning up 

I have holes 

I am covered in lines 

I have scars 

I am covered in unnatural objects 


I hear cries 

I hear sequels 

I hear machines 

I hear the constant buzz of energy 


I have multiple syringes- some pump stuff into me and some pump stuff out. 

I have been poisoned 

I have been 


I am being consumed 

I have been commodore 


What are we doing? 

What are we doing to our planet? 

We invent and do not preserve ? 

We create life yet don not preserve 

We are killing 

We are stealing 

Man made vs women nature 


We are spiralling 


We are stuck 


I am still alive and I will survive 

What they don’t know is that they will be gone before me...I will never be the same. 

I am being adapted 

I am being manipulated 

I am a conversation and a thought 

I am not appreciated 

I have been disabled 

I am being dissected 

My shell is disintegrating 

My protection took 

My invisible cloak is threading 



Small Global. I am experiencing the uneasy and advancing intervention of technology on the nature of our world. We are killing our planet with our neoliberalism, and as we spiral further into the commodification of all aspects of life, we become the reason of nature’s extinction, including ourselves: human kind. 


I am surviving 

I am trying to survive

I will survive 

They don’t know that but as they destroy me, I destroy them quicker. I am adapting to the abuse forced on me. I am surviving. I wins here before them I will be here after them. They will not survive. 

Poem Exhition: Text

My Mattress has felt me sob tonight.
My Pillow has captured my tears tonight.
My quilt has been gripped so tight tonight.
And my room has never been so quite, Tonight.

Head down 

Head down 

Breathe 

Bicycle 

Bicycle 

Don’t cry 

Step step step 

Walk 

Head down 

Sniffles 

No 

Breathe 

Inhale exhale 

Inhale exhale 

Catherdral 

Castle 

Looking not seeing 

Head down 

Hands fiddle with coffee cup

Why am I here? 

No head down 

Why do I feel like this 

No 

Don’t cry 

Keep going 


Home

Locks door

Cries 

Bag down

Coat off 

Cries 

It’s a sending 

Hug 

Shakes with cries 

Holds me 

Love 

Food 

Bedroom 

Shoes off 

Cries 

Curls up 

In a ball 

Looks at trousers 

White spots 

Black 

Fading 

Tears fall 

Hands shake 

Release 

Make up ruined 

Lies 

Messages 

Home 

Guilty 

More lies 

Shaking 

Hating 

Crying 

Avoiding photos 

Lonely 

Chin shakes 

Exhale

Inhale 

Shakes exhale 

Tears 

Slow blinks 

Tired 

Exhausted actually 

Funny 

Disengaged 

Lonely 

Alone 

Guilt 

Comfort 

Cool 

Don’t know

Don’t understand
