Walking Home
I hate walking home because of how
old men look at me in case they
follow me or if someone kidnaps me
and I will never get seen again.
Patience
A fly keeps circling what I’m trying to say
A drip counts louder then the clock
My patience thins like cheap gray thread
Snapping at the smallest knock.
Things that PMO
Uhm
Uh
I don’t
Know what pisses me off
Uhm
Uh
I don’t
Know why I’m pissed off
I dislike school
I dislike exams
I dislike America
They piss me off
I dislike beans
I dislike mushrooms
I dislike beetroot
They taste off
I hate AI
It steals jobs
It should
not be a knob
I hate NFTs
They are stupid
People who make them
Are pieces of shit
But in the end
While I’m pissed off
I go home
And I breathe
I sit in my bed
With my mouth full of shit
Then I remember the things
That pissed me off.
More
Being misjudged for what I want to be when I’m older.
People expect me to go into a job that’s hard at work
Like the guards or some security job. But I actually
I want to be an actor and a singer when I’m older.
I was the main role in our school musical this year and
That has driven me to become an actor and a singer.
I want to show people in years to come that I can be
Whatever I want to be and show people I am more
Than meets the eye.
Being Myself
Told to be someone who I’m not
All to be accepted by a few “friends”
My flaws and imperfections may never come out
Worried to be offended
Sensitive souls aren’t made for teenage boys
They’re made for poet laureates
Being myself is the only way i can be
I can’t be anyone else.
Untitled
I hate how men stare at me in a weird way
It makes me want to walk the opposite
Way i cant walk home alone and feel safe
I just want to feel brave
every time they beep or whistle
I feel more and more little.
Afraid
When i walk i get afraid
I want to hide and to turn away
Men will lurk men will watch
I feel like they should be caught
I try to shut them out
But then they scream and shout
Men are the reason we are afraid
Afraid of shadows afraid of shame
Afraid to move on with life each day
They need to stop
To learn to behave
To make our world feel happy and safe.
Family
Trying to fit with others is as hard
Fitting with people alike is comforting
Family is where you fit the most.
Untitled
I feel that I’m mentally challenged.
Anytime I try something I feel that
Everybody else is able to do it faster and better.
Walking Home Late
I hate walking late because of older men or
Just creepy men in general at night you never
Know what that man that passes you may be
Thinking or what his intentions are that night
Maybe he’s out on a late walk or maybe he’s
Looking for something or someone or it could
Be he is looking for a vulnerable woman.
Untitled
I dislike and feel uncomfortable
Walking alone or around older men.
10 Things I Hate About You
I hate your personality I hate
Your friends and their opinions
I hate how you think about others
Girls and never consider me, I hate
How you lust over your past and
Don’t think of the future, but most
Of all, I hate how I know you will never change.
Things That Annoy Me
When people rush me
When I’m trying how to figure something out
yup bros disrespectful people my year head
People that beg for lifts home people who talk shit.
Hopeful Heart
In the morning light I wake, With sleepy eyes
And small mistake, I take my coffee, strong and sweet,
And walk alone in a noisy street. The sky is blue,
Or sometimes gray, Like how I feel from day to day,
I think of dreams I want to chase, But life goes fast, it is a race.
I miss the sun of my old town, The narrow streets,
The castle brown, But still I try, I do my best,
With a hopeful heart inside my chest.
Unheard
Its a tough life being a teenage girl these days,
Whatever interests you have are judged and
Comment about no matter what. I get punched,
Kicked, tripped, and no matter how many times I
Tell them to stop, I feel that my voice goes unheard.
Judged
I hate people who have an opinion on you now
On something that happened in the past I dislike
Being judged on this that I like doing I hate when
People comment bad things about my things i hate
Being put in situations that I have to pick a side in
I hate being disliked making me loose interest in
Something I enjoy doing I dislike when people
Always insult your appearance.
Shine
The lake is like glass,
Dromineer’s sunsets shine.
I Hate
I hate people who have opinion on you now on something
That happened in the past I dislike being judged on something
Thats in the past I hate being put in situations were you have to pick
A side I hate how i’m judged on my mistakes and not my successes
I hate that I get attached to people too easily.
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time,
A girl was born
She was just learning
to read and write, She blinked,
and time flew by so quickly
that she didn’t even notice
that in a year she would
I have to enter university.
Things That Annoy Me
Men being viewed as only wanting
To score people who are too big for
Their boots men who are way too cocky
People who talk behind your back people
That changes their personality around different friends.
Untitled
I want drinks and fishing with lads
There is no better feeling
When your lad is catching a fish.
Alone
I hate the nights in lonely streets when
You walk alone and you feel a presence
When you walk alone and you feel their
Breath on your nape when you are a
Woman and alone in the street.
Being Myself
If I could try being myself
Would I become a joke?
I sit and ponder
what it would evoke.
Special
From the county of blue and gold
So many stories have went untold
Some so good they could never be told
Some that untold hide their true selves
To be afraid of being labelled so weak
To the point they never want to speak
Life throws them up and down but never
In a straight line to make them so unique
And so special they would make someone weep.
I Like
I like chicken burgers
I like my bed
I don’t like boys
They hurt my head
Their jokes are bad
And they can’t take a hint
If they could leave me alone
That would be mint.
Love
Love comes in many shapes and sizes,
Maybe love is the girl who you shared
your deepest secrets with, maybe love
Is about the boy who said he loved you
Then disappeared, maybe love is the summer
Sun beaming down on you as you walk with ease ,
Maybe love is the small chats you have with your
Friends, but love comes in all shapes and sizes
You just need to be looking in the right place to find it ,
So don’t ever feel like your not loved because even tho
It’s not that boy from the summer or the girl you trusted
With your life love is all around you.
Roses are Red
Roses are red violets are blue
The sky is blue grass is green
The sun is probably yellow.
Saturday Night
I loved Saturday night
And I’m sick of all these
Assignments I have to do.
Duel
I hate school it makes me
feel like a fool all the lads
start to drool love is not the
right tool 6 hours just sitting on
a stool all the boys think their
so cool chilling at the pool
they just think they rule
I will win in every duel.
I Don’t Know
I don’t know much about myself,
I don’t know much at all.
I have this form of a shell,
But I just want to ball.
The World is Gone
I am sick of everything including
this school system and my
laptop bringing me bad news
The world is gone to shite.
Imperfections
Days go by as the people say hi,
Not revealing their inner truth why?
The struggle of expressing themselves,
Is something familiar within ourselves,
A universal issue about acting and representing,
You. We string up masks, Pretending and lying to
Ourselves, Seeking validation from people we
Wouldn’t take advice from. Sadly impressions for
Others are more valuable then standing up for
What you truly are.
I Hate
I hate how I feel alone because I
Think people are talking about me
I hate how boys act in big groups
I hate how I feel uncomfortable
Walking by myself I hate how boys
Treat the ‘Odd one out ‘ I hate how you
Treated me and I hate how I let you get
Away with it and that you will never change.
A Typical Man
I was talking so someone
I cared about
And I wasn’t happy
I said some words I would regret
I treated them unfairly,
And was told I was “A typical man”,
It was then I felt a change,
Like a veil had been lifted,
I didn’t mean any of what i said,
I let emotions get to me,
And had emotionally hurt the one person
Who I didn’t want to hurt at all,
My apology led to tears,
And then I had the fear,
That they would think of me as “A typical man”,
For the rest of my years.
Untitled
I cant be at this leaving cert
Pressure I’m just to busy I just
Do the work not to get giving out to.
Untitled
Oisin Ryan is my name,
Saturday night is my game,
Beating pallets is my aim,
I am the king,
I run the school.
Coffee in Hand
Walked in late and took the bait,
Fell through the floor, into the front door
Coffee in hand still warm with steam,
Like id steeped out from a dream i took
A nice morning sun on face, calm on the
Street with stride in my step and pride in
My heart. But registration starts and nine
And the clock screams louder than the time
Coffee in hand is still warm like my face.
Who I Want to Be
By age 7
I didn’t know much about me
But I knew exactly what could be perceived about
Me, My height, my hair, my stomach
Everything I couldn’t control was needed from me
I became quiet, a pleasure to teach
That was my mask built
Hidden behind silent crues for help
That couldn’t be seen,
Left on my own
What could become of me?
With age I grew I learnt about me
My worth couldn’t and shouldn’t be deemed
By society everything I once was so ashamed of,
I am now exactly who I want to be.
John Murphy
John Murphy cup is coming home
Where players memory’s are sown
Eoin Dervan getting no game
And im getting all the fame
I’m about to score a hat trick
From a quick free kick quick
Knee slide to show my pride
Because John Murphy is coming home.
Joy
Struggle is foul, when no-one’s around, everyone’s
Proud, and yet I cant withstand, its difficult to be happy,
Without somebody, i just need a voice, to become my own,
And stand up for my own, love is hard and quite profound,
But i know that i can only find joy on my own, family is
Everything, yet silence is hard, i need to work on my joy.
She
She walks in streets with broken light, She wants her voice to
shine so bright. Not more, not less, just be the same, Not only
silence, not only shame. Feminism is not to fight with hate, Is to
open every closed gate. Girls can dream and girls can try, Have
big ideas, can touch the sky. In Spain we say “igualdad”, Because
respect is not so bad. We want a world where all can be free,
For you, for her, and also for me.
Journey Begins
Engines hum low,
Tyres kiss the road—
A journey begins.
Fishing
I want to go fishing with bros
who understands each other
and are usually available
as well as drink kvass, gira.
I Like
I like food and games, i like to relax,
I like playing old games, cus it gives flashbacks
I also like the gym
Because working out feels like win
Coming home to chill, while I
I also drink milk.
Days
I eat kebabs to quench my hunger
then I go and buy a burger
Go to gym to stay slim and thin
Lift some weights to climb gates
Play video games through out the night
Then I go turn on the light
Game by night lift by day
Come and see another day
Far From Home
Here I am walking home
From a place far from home
I turn around and see a cone
To realise I’m not alone
I realise I’m not unknown
But just a girl far from home.
