I know this seems like we're copying the television programme but I feel that we should have a talent area here. Please send us links to your you tube videos, send us anything that you think is talent. I have started it off by posting some of the poems I have written recently (don't think about nicking them as they are copywrited).I have also added a link to my You Tube channel where I have a few clips of me singing.
Confessions of a Pain Killer Addict
You promise yourself this is the last time,
It never ends up the last time,
The taste of them is awful but you still do it,
It doesn’t matter how many people tell you to stop,
The urge to take the fizzy disgusting tasting liquid is far too much to resist,
It’s like a romance that is too good to end,
It helps you to relax after a hard day,
Cheers you up when you’re feeling down,
It even gives you a boost when you have no energy.
The dangers are spelt out on the packet,
You’ve read them time and time again,
As much as you know it’s bad for you,
Temptation out weighs the risks,
A pain killer always seems to be the answer,
Emotional pain goes away if you take a pain killer,
Physical pain is just a minor irritation,
Emotional baggage is instantly lifted.
These pills are friends you’ll never have,
They make every day easier to cope with mentally,
Everyone thinks you’re crazy for destroying yourself,
You just tell them to get lost it’s your life,
Deep down you know they are right,
You don’t want to admit you have an addiction,
It was something that started off innocently,
Then it turned into your sinister secret,
Hiding the fact that you take two every hour,
You’re hoping that no one catches you in the act.
The slightest bit of stress drives you to take another one,
You crave for them 24 hours a day,
Taking them 7 days a week 12 times a day,
The fact that your kidneys hurt doesn’t make you want to stop,
No matter how much your body warns you it will never get you to take any notice,
Even when the realisation does kick in your addiction won’t set you free,
It’s just a matter of time before it damages your organs,
It may have already have already done the damage,
You’re slowly killing yourself everyone says.
Well maybe I am but I can’t stop taking them!

Fascination vs. Obsession
First impressions can make a major impact,
You never realise how much impact someone has on you until a few hours after meeting them,
You think about them none stop for days,
When you’re feeling lonely you fantasise about them,
There is no where you’d rather be than with that person,
Could it be love? Or is it something more sinister?
It’s a good thing the person doesn’t know how you feel towards them,
The feelings are cripplingly intense,
Every time you’re near them it’s like they are the only person who exists.
Question is… When does a fascination become an obsession?
You want to know every single detail about this person,
You want to talk to this person yet fear holds you back,
Do they know how much you’re into them?
Will that scare them away?
You don’t want to lose the chance to get to know them,
It excites you that they are a mystery to you,
It makes you want them even more especially if you know you can never have them,
When does an innocent fascination turn into a sinister obsession?
It’s weird how meeting certain people can turn you into a psycho,
Two years later you’re sectioned in a psychiatric hospital,
The worse part about it is the fact that they put you there,
That is how an innocent fascination becomes a sinister obsession.

Love in my Eyes
I’m not the type of person that can feel love,
I have never really felt it in my life,
Some people say it’s a most wonderful feeling,
Some say it just leads to heart break,
But what if love was a feeling you were unable to experience?
Would it make you bitter?
Would it make you resentful towards people who have found love?
Or would you just accept the fact that love will never be part of your life?
I feel all three of those feelings,
I am only able to care about people,
Love is far too complicated to get involved in,
Heart breaks are caused by falling in love,
I don’t want to fall in love,
Just being able to hold someone close would mean the world to me,
I wouldn’t get hurt that way,
It’s better when you can’t fall in love,
Things are so much easier, less emotional, painful and simple.
Love in my eyes isn’t important,
To care about a person is better,
As love is too closely linked with lust,
Lust is a selfish feeling that eventually leads to love,
Lusting over someone can also be a dangerous game to play.

I wish…
I wish I was beautiful,
Big ‘come to bed’ eyes,
Enormous boobs to attract the fit guys,
A flat stomach so that I don’t look lumpy,
Ultra skinny and smooth legs,
Tressled long hair down to my bum,
In a lighter shade of brown with blond streaks,
Fabulous curves,
Ultra dark tan,
Lovely face that looks welcoming.
I wish I was smart,
Smarter than the people who put me down,
Morally live my life right,
Always try to make the best decision,
Rely on myself to do things that need doing,
Totally forget about the losers that don’t deserve my time.
I wish I could find Romance,
Romantic guy,
Only wanting a serious relationship,
Must not play me,
Always must be honest about things,
Never getting the urge to cheat on me,
Can change me into a better person,
Eventually up for marriage if all goes well.
