Welcome to my new home where I’ve decided to put my poetry. I’m not an expert or a thespian just someone who likes to bring out my thoughts. Just something I got into while going through a mental health crisis some years ago so taking the time to run things by you, the big world out there.

One of the first things I wrote about was a summary of me and my life.

Here is the one of the first cursory things I wrote.

Hairdo

When I was curly
I was the cutest little girly
small hands that would clasp
full of love that would last
With joy in my giggles
I would tumble and wiggle
When I was curly
I was sweet very early

Then I was long
I could do nothing wrong
With confidence abounding
and attention hounding
It was all about me
and what I wanted to be
when I was long
it was good to be young

when I went spiky
some people thought ‘crikey’
a new mood had come
anarchy would be done
ripped tights and split shirts
tight jeans mini skirts
when I was spiky
I had a raw psyche

then I went blonde
I fancied James Bond
My dresses were classy
I knew I was sassy
The boys just went wild
and I simply beguiled
When I was a blonde
I could have ‘tout le monde’

I became a brunette
lived with a man I had met
We were wonderfully strong
then it finally went wrong
Things turned out so bad
that I lost all I had
When I was brunette
I chose to forget

Now I am grey
I am thankful each day
for mistakes I have made
I have learned and I’ve prayed
to have wisdom through life
through troubles and strife
So now I am grey
I do all things my way
