I, am, Insane

by Mark

I, am, afraid,

I, am, bad,

I, am, bipolar,

I, am, bored,

I, am, confused,

I, am, crazy,

I, am, depressed,

I, am, deranged,

I, am, forgetful,

I, am, insane,

I, am, lost,

I, am, misunderstood,

I, am, paranoid,

I, am, rude,

I, am, schizophrenic,

I, am, sleeping all day,

I, am, stressed,

I, am, unemployed,

I, am, unwell,

I, am, getting better,

I, am, meditating,

I, am, taking medication,

I, am, cheerful,

I, am, finding myself,

I, am, friendly,

I, am, happy,

I, am, organised,

I, am, professional,

I, am, sane,

I, am, working

Old Man

by Adam

I feel pain,

I need a cane

I do not like games, I do not want to play,

My hair fell out and what’s left is grey

I hate dogs,

They disgust me like frogs

I do not have cats,

I really hate pets

What I hate the most if not big fly,

But when my neighbour plays music on his Hi-Fi

My neighbour wants to be cool,

But he is a fool

In my home what is loud,

Is not allowed

I cover my ears with a cushion,

I cannot stand this noise pollution

As I walk down the hall,

I hear Rock'n'Roll

I knock on the door and tell him to stop,

He does not listen and switches to pop

I used up my cotton, I finished the packet,

When will I hear the end of this racket?

I do not ask again, I have too much pride,

I stand up and walk outside

As I walk down the street,

I hear the techno beat

I am old,

I am bold
