My Body Hid a Secret Hardback

Heartbeat poem

  • Laying the Ghosts to Rest
    Same old, same old, why am I being tested, the well trodden paths that seek to harass my senses and take away my peace. 
    The audacity of the familiar ghosts within, I do not fear you, I almost pity your feeble attempts to overwhelm me. I see you trying to haunt me, same old same old.
    Don’t you know, since I was born I have slept in this house, my heart pulsating with a different beat.
    Every day I am bored by you, same old, same old, the ghosts of my troubled body seeking to entrap me.
    This day as every day I lay the ghosts to rest, my choice is easy.

    Life, life, life
