We see so many people

posting pictures, looking pretty

Bodies on show

abs, boobs and butts

Beggin' for worth
does our self suffer much?

We hear so many people
rant, rave and review
Talking very loud
teeth white like tissue
Chomping away at likes
the perfect smile well bought?

We touch so many people
our content - have you thought?

Air

We were young when we got told

the air we breathe is free
All deserving of our place here
sits well with you and me

We go to school to learn
looking back I felt such glee
To read, and write and expand
the mind buzzed like a bee

Then you start to notice
those things you didn't see
Not everyone is lucky
stumbling around all so carefree

Children denied the chance
what shapes who we can be?
The air that fills our lungs
can limit our full capacity

Passing by

walks lag

in the centre of nothing
shops close
and that guy wants change

going places
they move so quickly
trains don't stop
to pick him on the way

bottle in hand
sounds start to echo
his head wet
giving company to night

a stranger's hand
but will he accept it?
crawling out
into the thick of life

fragile beginnings

gentle 

like it's something new

follow
but take control too

touch
move in a bit closer

breathe

welcome this safe shelter
