Walking home he
takes a detour
Wondering what, why
when evermore
Wrapped up against
the biting chill
As temperatures drop
winter starting for real
He thinks on his
family and their fights
Trying to do good
and all that’s right
He does all he
can in these hard days
But little can he give
as life doesn’t him pay
He tries to do
his best by them all
But little do they
give him rest, letting him fall
He tries to be the
good son too
But a battle it is
one he always does lose
Nothing is ever
good enough
Only Financial gain
is needed, not love
Forgetting himself
he’s falling fast
As he fights for others
’til the very last
He just wants to
be the good brother
The good relative to all
Mother and grandmother
But all are disappointed
in him, kept in chains
It’s no wonder that
he sometimes feels pain
Will he ever be
the good son
Will he ever be
allowed freedom to run
One day he
hopes this will be
One day he hopes
they’ll finally see clearly

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
