Dynamic Drawing by artist Martin Butler

Win Instead of Lose

 

Of course you ought to lose

You're wearing someone else's shoes

Get your own

walk a path that's known to you

If you do you will succeed

and be the place where others feed

.....


It's merely faery tales and consequently fails the test

The rest is history

It's up to me to make it real - I need to feel what's going on

Let them see they do belong

I must not fail

It's much more than  a faerytale

.......

Suddenly I changed and though that's strange how could it be

After all I am still me

......

I cannot fly

I'll tell you why I thought I could

It felt so good when I had wings

Which brings me to the reason that I cannot fly

It was all a lie I never could

I should have told you this before

I thought I could fly if I tried so I lied

(put it down to pride)

Riding High

Don't have to try when I'm like this

I miss the days when I'd just laze around sitting on the ground

Watching birds and butterflies

Now that I'm high I hear the cries

And listen to the lies that people tell

I'm in hell
And well aware I'm never getting out even if I shout

I wont be heard

To think like this is quite absurd (I wish I was a bird)
