The last chapter

poem by: George Griffiths
Written on Mar 03, 2019

The very first chapter is simply a blurb
all the others are a distant blur
Life has been a lesson that I’ve learnt
I have cried and I put up a fight

I didn’t stop, I think you’ll agree
If it’s a lesson then I got a degree
I’ve only ever wanted my mind to be free

There’s a lot within and it’s hurting me
The world somehow tied me down and I set myself free, pass me the crown

The last chapter doesn’t quite sum it all up, let me fill you in
I have plenty of things to say but I’m not sure you’re listening so I’ll go. 

I’m tired of being a fighter
I think it’s time I leave it here
This will be my great escape, watch me go
I’ve not needed you so I never sent a sign.

This will be my final goodbye, not so much a dream but I’m doing this for me
The last chapter, my life is just a distant blur - there were no guidelines 

Light the room and you might just see me leave, I need to let my heart breathe

Our Cheerful

poem by George Griffiths

In the darkest of times, you were up, and when we were angry you wound us up. You found the silliest of things to make us laugh, with your jokes and cheeky sense of humour. When you slept you giggled and still sleeping today you ma... Read more
