The Classroom

In a classroom I sit
With Siberian hands
And Baltic winds
Blow in arctic strands.

A crinkled coat
To block out the frost
And bouncing rubbers
That’ve just been tossed.
And the classroom echoes
With muffled chat

As rowdy teen boys
Chew the fat.
I fill my page
With poem galore
And crinkle the texture
Of this coat that gets worn.

Furry Glen

Blissful stream of polluted water flows downhill
Beside it fauna standing still

Shrubbery and flowers grow
Against the march of time

But with the beauty of the flowers
Comes the pain of thorns

The ground made of mulch
From years of water sticks to your feet ,

As you look at your destroyed pair of cleats ,
You sit down in a dry patch and take it in

When I grow up

When i grow up i want to live in a big house
Go on holidays every second week
Play with my dog
A game of hide and seek
When i grow up i want to have a nice job
Not a boring one the kind of one
People say are fun

When i grow up i want to be respected
People to admire me
He’s an honourable guy isn’t he
When i grow up i want to not dread death
Because i will have enjoyed my time on this earth
Full of good times
A life of invaluable worth

Safe Cross Code

Use the safe cross code
The fella walks across the road
He didn’t use the safe cross code
He caused a crash
Several cars were towed
No remorse he showed
On the following Saturday the crows crowed
An apology he owed
As the coffin was raised
And people gave the man some praise
for the life he lived

Thank You

When i was at my lowest god gave me you
You were the best gift god gave me
You were there when i needed you
Ill be there when you need me
I hope are contact wont stop
I hope our contact last forever
I want you by my side when im at my lowest
And when im at my prime
Thank you for being there when i needed you
Ill be there when you need me
Ill be there when you are at your lowest
Be there when you feel like to cry
Be there when you need advice
Be in your mind when we are far
Once again thank you for everything
I want you to be there with me by my side
forever and forever

 

Shrek Rhymes

The grass is green like Shrek,
I get money, keep it in cheque,
I spit bars like Quandale Dingle,
I got the drip, Like Bartholomew Bingle.
When i grow old i would’ve wanted to
Travel to Iceland not the shop but the country
Go skydiving with my cousin from London

Join a team with all my friends and just ball out
Don’t want to have another fallout
Would want to marry the girlfriend of many years
That i have not met yet
Two kids one of each gender
Project Mbappe and project Serena Williams
Have a job that that i love t
I wont have to work a day in my life

The Mighty Bohs

From the walls in Dalymount park
To the crawls up to Finn harps
The NBB fill out endless rows
All over the country to watch the mighty Bohs.
Every Friday night we travel to watch the Bohs
The cracking goals to the sighs and moans
We follow the Bohs where ever we go.

My Red Car

I have a red car
I drive it everyday
Sometimes I go for a drive along the bay
Then one day tragedy struck

My car was stolen by a man dressed as a duck
I rang the police and they tried their best
But they said the man had a hairy chest
He left no trail
I soon realised that the police are a fail.

No one

No one to talk to
No one will listen
No one wants to hear your no
No one will hear you
No one in sight
No one with you

No one to support you
No one to help you
Drowning, all alone
With no way back on your own
You just wish, it wasn’t hard to breathe air
And there’s still nobody there

Savior

When I was at my lowest,
This person picked me up
From the darkness.
When I was going through

Rainy storms and tough times
I felt like giving up,
But this person never left me
Was always there by my side
Guiding me through it all.

I say I am a failure and lonely
He says I am loved, he says I am chosen.
I say I’m unworthy and a mess up,
He says I am worthy that I am worth
Going through suffering and eternal death.

He has been chasing after me my whole life
He is my best friend and has given me true peace
You have never experienced true love
Until you experience his love.
That man is Our Lord Jesus Christ.

War of thoughts

Walk through the gates and everyone stares,
Oh how will I be so different.
Intrusive thoughts seem to fill our heads while
We approach the room that disgust’s us.

We climb the ladder and feel more insecure as
Our thoughts start to fill with regret but in the end
We are all the same as our thoughts start to fade away.

What Shapes Us

I once was a little kid
So full of inspiration
So full of aww n’ admiration
For the world we live in todayyy
But then i realised,
The worlds not pure
Some days i doubt nature
But these days we must face it
These storms these disasters
Are what shape us today

Blood Sweat and Tears

Chasing a faraway goal that
Seems it will never come
Blind optimism in the course
That I’ll get there one day
That the effort will be worth it in the end
in the hope that one day I can say

I made it and every ounce of effort was worth it
Put aside doubt and keep the faith
Don’t listen to the doubt because it isn’t me
Keep believing and I will get there

Derby Day

The red smoke fills the air ,
Walking side by side in our pairs ,
Hoping for the best saying our prayers.
Its derby day and we need the win,
The time of our life is coming lets begin

I persevere

Through daily life I persevere,
Most of my efforts quite sincere,
This all feels pointless, even though there’s a goal
Many things are unnecessary as a whole
I would much enjoy doing what I want
Not the same as everyone as if using a basic font
Why can’t some things just be fun
I swear looking at memes is more educational
I’d rather spend my time with my pets
When I watched Morbius I had no regrets

Wonder by the Window

I wonder by the window
About all the times I’ve been happy.
Many people have made me happy
by doing something special,
But there has been times in my life
where someone special has made me happy
And as time moves by the minute

I still wonder by the windowBroken Glass
All glasses are made pure, clear and clean,
As we get older they age, get dirty and get mean,
As they age they brake, they smash and they crack,
With nothing to hold or try to glue back,
Trying to hide the cracks as they show,
With money and confidence and beauty aglow,
The glue made of friends, compassion and love,
But still the cracks show from below and above,
These cracks don’t fade and never will,
Their sadness and past will not kill
We try to cover up those cracks
with fearlessness and class,
but beneath it all…unfortunately
we are all broken glass

Broken Glass

All glasses are made pure, clear and clean,
As we get older they age, get dirty and get mean,
As they age they brake, they smash and they crack,
With nothing to hold or try to glue back,
Trying to hide the cracks as they show,
With money and confidence and beauty aglow,

The glue made of friends, compassion and love,
But still the cracks show from below and above,
These cracks don’t fade and never will,
Their sadness and past will not kill
We try to cover up those cracks with fearlessness and class,
but beneath it all…unfortunately we are all broken glass

My Backpack

There once was a lad,
who went around eating all the food he can find.
He ate so much that his tummy was packed
like my backpack on a summer holiday.
He thought he was strong
but he was all wrong
thinking he could pull
but all he could do was push
people away

Okay once again

People always say that it gets better
They say that things will be okay,
But they don’t realize
The things I go through everyday.
And they say it gets better
But what I’m wondering is when?
When will the pain end,
When will it vanish,
When will it all just go away,
And be okay, once again

Driving a Van

I was driving in a van
And I seen someone’s nan.
I drove towards her at speed
As she ran away from me like a dweeb
Soon she was flattened in the shape of a lead.
Now her relatives weep in sorrow
Meanwhile I chuckle with her pet sparrow.

Blue Shirts

They have been put in the dirt
Its almost like they hurt
There time is almost up
But that doesn’t mean
we should throw in the cup
Our whole world is ahead of us
So we don’t need to discuss
Why we shouldn’t give up

To Somewhere Not Here

Again I stand on the plain, grey pavement
Suffocating, slowly, from the same air,
The houses, the school, the shops and the park
The wind, the trees, all too familiar.
I look up to see a comforting blue,
To see a bird spread its wings in the sky,
An airplane leaving a trail overhead
But I’m not like them, I cannot fly.

Outside of my cage, there’s so much to see,
Bottomless oceans, Endless fields of trees.
Plains of sand as far as the eyes can reach
But I am not there, there is no me.
Surrounded by fences too tall to climb,
Chained to the ground by my restrictive feet,
I look down again, but this time I smile,
The places I’ll go, the people I’ll meet.

Walking one night

I was walking by one night
filled with delight
till i saw someone far away
I went over and said hey.
but she thought i was gay

Take it Slow

I saw her from a mile away.
Wish i could get to her quick
But it would take a while
The journey might even make me sick
So decided to take it slow
Might text her and wait for a while
Just and went saw her pic
My god she was a hot chick

Dublin

From Ashtown to Cabra
From Supervalu to centra
From Romayos to Dominos
This is Dublin
The kippiest of kip
Have fun

School

Why oh why do I have to
Come in at this time,
Its that early it
feels like a crime,
Teachers giving out ,
Makes me want to get out,
Trying to get work done,
Really is a pain in the bum,
At the end of the day,
Everyone runs away
