I’m so happy 

For things that make me happy 

Like guitar strings being strummed 

Like music playing 

Like my warm cosy bed 

Like coffee

Like cake yum I love cake 

Like a Johannesburg thunderstorm 

Like watching movies on an airplane 

Like every pay day, yay for pay days 

Like swimming in the sea 

Like massages 

Like my hair being brushed 

Like new clothes days

Like the quietness when I am still at night 

And all I feel is peace and quiet

And I am safe and loved.

Voices

I hear voices
In my dreams
And when I wake
Voices soft
And voices still
Voices laughing
Voices shrill
I hold out my hands
To have but a touch
Of voices on surround
But as I do
The voices fade

Into darkness

Leaving me
On my own
Alone
