Leopards never change their spots
We know that this is true.
But you are not a Leopard,
So there can be change in you.
You can learn a brand new skill.
Find great new songs to sing.
You can learn new recipes
If cooking is your thing.
You can look down deep inside.
See what might be wrong.
Learn to fight the Black Dog
If this will keep you strong
You can be brave & bungee jump
If this will ...
I was sitting at home wrapped in my pizza fleece blanket. ( A present from my youngest neice. It could've been worse. Unicorns maybe!) I was trying to sort out the accounts for the drama club I was part of.
Suddenly my phone beeped. It was a text.
<Thursday 19:00>
Dave. Where the hell were you? It’s Lizzy We were supposed to be meeting up tonight. Pizza remember. I don't appreciate being st...
My name is Jasmine Crenshaw. I’m an ordinary person. At least I was until 5 minutes ago. I looked down at myself to find I was dressed in a tuxedo. I had notes in my hand.
I heard myself being introduced as Professor Micheal Grezetsky. He is a world renowned philosopher whom I admired very much. He is here to do a lecture on the meaning of life.
The introductions finished and I took a sip from...
Every tear you shed sparks a fire in my chest.
I watch you as your eyes overflow
with the waters of sorrow.
The sounds of your sobbing
As his casket lowers down below.
I have to hide my cold hearted grin.
Why should you expect less from me?
When I lost my beloved
You couldn’t be bothered turning up.
No card, no flowers, no phone call.
Nothing, not even a word of sympathy.
Your true colo...
This is my love poem
To a broken healing soul.
When you look in the mirror,
Don’t be afraid of what you see.
You are worthy to be here.
Believe that you are beautiful.
Listen when the people say
You are a lovely person.
Don’t let the darkness take you.
Look within and love yourself.
After all,
That’s where the healing starts.
Love yourself, as you
Walk out in to the world.
This will ...
I watched at the beginning of the end.
The tsunamis came more often,
And land was lost.
The tornadoes & hurricanes
Ripped buildings and cities apart.
People were lost.
At the time no- one realised,
Or understood.
Or worse,
People didn’t care.
Slowly the world
Took its revenge.
Over the days, months, years,
Decades, centuries and beyond,
The earth moved and changed,
Reclaiming what had b...
I reach the door.
Three words greet me.
OUT OF ORDER
I begin to panic.
No, not now.
Anything but that.
What did this?
It’s not fair.
Why me?
Two large cokes.
A medium coffee.
That’ll teach me.
I run to the lift.
No, not again.
OUT OF ORDER.
Suddenly I run
Heading down
To the janitor’s
I run in
Asking his permission.
He nods, head shaking.
Rushing in,
I close, lock the do...
I sit and watch the young girl and her kitten. It brings back memories of when that was me.
This was beautiful. There was nothing we couldn’t do, as yet untainted by the world and all it’s tempests. This was a promise for a time to come. ‘I will love you, you will love me. Together forever, (as long as that might be!).
I gave a soft smile (or my best equivalent), and sat still and let them ha...
I took a deep breath and steadied my nerves. I headed towards the door at the end of the corridor. It was an exhilarating privilege of being the new CEO of City Corp.
I would finally know the secret. What happened to all those who annoyed the true leader of the city. You see, not only was I the new CEO, I was also the leader of the new Shadow Board.
On the outside City Corp controlled the city...
