The guy in the coffee house
He hands you your mocha with a pleasant smile
Offers you some sugar with a sugar sweet quirp
And you wonder- Who is this guy?
He's the lawyer
That walks past you in the street
And in that brief moment
When the light turns green
He gives you a nod of the head
And yet again- you don't know him.
It's only when you wake up in the middle of the night
With a terrible realisation
You are the madman.
Who am I,
To be gay,
Misunderstood,
Individual,
Myself?
When all these people
Tell me that I
Am not normal.
-Am hated,
Loathed,
Despised.
And yet,
Although they say these things,
I am happy:
When I say to myself,
"I am content."
The Lonely Man sat on the bench
And watched the ducks swim by.
He thought and sat and fed the ducks
As the sun set in the sky.
It was a wind swept autumn day,
Thus the evening was cold.
He'd always visited the park
Since he was nine years old.
Aged and olden, there he sat,
With no close company.
Then it was she ambled by
And threw a glance at he.
His heart sprang back from it's lost grave
And it did love once more
And then he cried "Oh Marigold!"
For Marigold he saw.
They both reminisced about old times:
The cobbled streets of town,
Remembered the old carnival
With its hellish garish clown.
Meeting once more in a café

What is normal,
But a struggle to be normal?
I don't wanna be
A trumped up
Frumped up
Jumped up
Moron,
Inkeeping with the style.
I'm me,
You're you:
Who give's a damn?
Me.
I wish that I was normal.
In the darkest corner of my mind,
Beneath all sense and memory,
There lies a single flitting thought:
A spec of creativity
Mental process refuses
From letting it go,
But deep down in my heart
I know
All it takes is
Some small attention
To turn it into
Great invention
This is my idea
They warned us they would strike closer to home.
We sat waiting, nervously, anxiously.
Then... On the seventh of July: they struck.
BOOM. The train explodes, in a rain of fire,
of heat, of hatred, of terror, of death.
We are reminded of New York, Madrid.
We will not live in a blanket of fear.
One is a tiny number
Two is a small number
Three is bigger than both two and one
Four is a bigger number
Five is a massive number
Six is bigger than five by one!
Gay.
What a great word.
I am happy with who I am, my personality,
My traits, my looks, my friends, my love,
And sexuality.
Gay.
What an ironic word.
How can I be happy,
When the world is so judgemental?
Personality, traits, looks, friends - no longer matter
-When you're a label, not a person.
