Freight truck driver

Sole survivor

Crashed into the fields

4am-er

Petrol tanker

Charred with the unreal

Take a sip of coffee

And a swig of day to day

Chemical your body 'til the nagging goes away

Take the corner faster on those winding country roads

Scarlet ribbons licking

Metal canisters explode with your head

You don’t like anyone

Messing with your head for fun

"Tell me how it feels...?"

Counselled trauma

Digging for your former self

Underneath the wheels

Capture every moment

Dive like dragonflies

Back beneath the iceberg

That betrays you with it’s size

See your future greying

Furniture stacked high

Caring less each second

As sanity slips from sight

From sight...

Television news

Night-time light hues

Watching from the ward whiten

Lilies, cellophane

Card taped in place

Anger makes your lungs tighten

Take a sip of coffee

And a swig of day to day

Chemical your body til the nagging goes away

Take the corner faster on those winding country roads

Wishing you were taken

Luck is bitter on your own

Your own

Your own

Your own
