Too Early

Last night I was asleep by 9pm, this was largely due to some impressive sinusitis. I slept right through until the sun decided to make an appearance at about 4 am, something I've been doing for a while now and it's getting really very tedious. Especially because 7 times out of 10 I'm not the only one the sun manages to wake up.

Expectation:

Early Morning
Those morning rays upon my face
Should make me feel delight
That I am now awake once more
After sleeping all the night
But at half past four I am dismayed 
For it is not yet day
I moan to myself and put my head
Underneath my warm duvet
Just a little bit longer I plead to the Sun
It's too early for me to arise
Wrapped up warm I'm sleepy again
And I gently close my eyes

Reality: 

Lie in?
Mum mum!
I need a wee
Mum mum! 
Can I turn on the tv?
Mum mum! 
I'm starving now?
Mum mum!
My sister's a cow! 
Mum mum!
She hit my leg!
Mum mum!
I want some egg.
Mum mum!
She's flooded the sink
Mum mum!
I need a drink
Mum mum!
She's sat on my head!
Mum mum! 
Oh you're out of bed?

I think we need thicker curtains.

The Music Corridor

My old school got demolished yesterday. It's been rebuilt, all shiny and new with steel and cladding in lieu of plywood and asbestos. They even demolished the old part - Haggas Hall - which quite frankly should have been listed. This, however, is not the history I feel most sad to lose. Deep within the school was a special place, a place I felt at home after I'd been the most confused and lost I'd ever been. Strap in, you're about to hear a mental health story… In 1995/6 I missed 6 months of school when I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I remember it very vividly, I was sat on a table in Mrs Sweeney’s classroom down by the PE rooms, next to the exit to the all weather pitch (famously known as the pitch that was crap in all weather). One minute I felt fine, the next I felt dizzy, panicked and unwell. I had caught a virus which subsequently went on to deplete my stores of serotonin. Goodbye happy. Hello depression. I withdrew into myself, hiding in my be...

It's been too long so here's a poem

It's a poem that I wrote it as a reminder to myself. Sometimes after a bad day, when my thoughts are raging in my brain, writing is the only way to clear my head. I call it Hello My Name Is Sam - a name I chose because it was the first one that popped in my head and because I've always liked it. Hello My Name Is Sam Hello my name is Sam And I've got lots to say The only problem is I talk in a different way I really love dinosaurs  And I think that you should too So I'll talk about them all day long I really wish you knew As many facts about Jurassic Park As I do, it's such a shame That you say that you're not interested So I'll tell you all their names Then maybe you will like them too And you can be just as clever I don't really want to be alone Please can we talk together? I try to understand people But my struggles are unseen As they sometimes talk in riddles And say things that they don't mean They sometimes take a minute  When they say "I...

No More Brexit

I'm all Brexitted out. It was a bad idea to start with and now I'm just sick of it. I think this is the general consensus among the population.  As a result I've come up with the following proposal. Proposal: creation of Brexit In The Bin Party. Main policy points: noone is allowed to mention Brexit again ever. As a result the party upon election will be renamed In The Bin Party. Other words that are banned are Remainers, Leavers, Remoaners, Brexshitters and any other derivation of. All policies on international economics to be decided by actual experts in the field. Referendums are to be used solely for naming boats (Boaty McBoatface was a fine name for a boat), tv talent shows and Facebook "is this called a bread roll or a teacake?" memes. If experts decide financially we should stay in the EU we will take it seriously and vote for people in to change it how we want. No we don't want an EU army, we like our pound coins and we want to control our own ...
