My Home Town - A Poem by John H Shelton

See the sunshine shining. Feel my blood and temperature rising. See the gangs get rowdy and start a fight. Bikes and cars are speeding Down a busy highway Never want to see the light Through curtains as I lie awake at night. In these times of chaos Chaos comes at a price of fun It's a bit of fun until the passion dies. Roll up, roll up, see the tension falling. As I leave this town crawling behind. To a new beginning. Get on a train and never look behind. When all is said and done We've all had some fun. Look after yourself and be careful not to let your spark die. Keep in mind your existence. We only get one chance at life. Just stop living on the edge of a knife.

Psychosis in Lockdown - A Poem by John H Shelton (from Lockdown 2020)

Round and round we go. Walking in ruthless circles. Music banging loudly through my ears๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ Round and round we go, again. Not knowing what to do. Sliced my hand accidentlly on glass and nearly cut my fingers... On a slippery slope of mud and mess. This year was a year of distress. This wasn't a year at my best at all. Was it really anybody's year? We all tried and got nowhere. Lost our voices and love for all things Life. However, don't worry cos there's a light ๐Ÿ•ฏ️ Stopping me in my tracks. A needle, sharp as a knife. Come with us and you will see. Five weeks of pure endless Eternity. Locked doors and white coats and medication ๐Ÿงฅ ๐Ÿ’Š You're going be here for a while. No denial that your mind is fragile. Keep yourself going and safe. Cos at the end of the day, you're going away. Corridors of blood, fighting and hoods Poorly people that on the inside were truly good. I'm waiting to get out of this prison of insane pain. Scream all you...
