Those arms holding me
With a strength I’ve never felt before
Powerful energy
Ravished by addiction
Unique teeth
That tell another story
Of a gripping vice
Broken hearts
Memories that still hold
Don’t give your heart away
‘I should have walked away’
But I died in your arms tonight
Let’s play Backgammon
26-25 🤣
I think I’ve met my match
Friendship that will live on
I wanna sit on those legs
Watching you drink the dregs
Put your mother first
‘I have to look after number one’
When you’re destroying number one
You’re destroying everyone around you
Is it selfish?
Is it an illness?
Do I recognise it?
100%
Turn it around
Man about town
Wear your crown
Do it for your son
Or we’ll all be gone
Kiss those lips
Clasp those hips
Sex that takes me on trips
What do I need to do?
Hold space for that friend of mine
Finger nails covered in grime
From the building site
Which is eating away at you
A promise you’ve made
Another bed laid
Do you wish you’d stayed?
Addiction can be more forceful than life itself
People need help
Getting off these things
Not sure if you’ll cope
But I do know your stubborn determination
So there is hope
And of course there’s also your dope…🤦🏽♀️
Also, the way you vote
Has me in a spin
Boy, just look within
Are you a racist?
Everybody’s just looking for a home
But I agree with you on some points
I think we’re more similar than we realise
You look like you could be a friend of Rupert Lowe’s
So there we go
Although, I know the time will show
With the climate we’re in
This country’s in a state
I do get your bate
But please never hate
The desperation of people
Put yourself in their shoes
Realise we’re not as far as you think
From their fate
It’s unsteady, crops are dying
You might need a mate
When you least expect it
We’re not as strong or as secure as you think
In fact in the next ten years
Mark my words
We’ll be on the brink
And you’ll look to your fellow man
Wherever they’re from
And you may need their help
So never forget
Where you came from
And what your father had to go through
To be welcomed here
Second generation immigrant
It’s not that far from imminent
You were lucky
And schooled well
Never take that for granted
Listen to people
And love yourself enough
To be well
