My minds ever-burning thoughts
killing each simple promise i made
to be free from bondage
and free from mortal fears
i see myself unnoticed, unappreciated and unclear
my dreams shall gather dust
underneath the rubble of my hearts collapse
as i take no leap of faith
i leave behind my human mind
and i listen as the whispers say goodbye

All The World Loves A Clown

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
