Despite my confusion
In spite of myself
A respite from those delusions
All is not well
One short step from the edge of hell

Burning amid the fires of fury
Deemed guilty
By the righteous jury
Never again seeing the light of the day
Incarcerated
Here to stay

It all started out so well
Mothers love
Fathers chest swelled
Abandoned by the age of five
My only wish
A dream

 To thrive

Here I sit
In my eight by twelve
Nobody
Is entitled to see, inside

My thoughts are my own
I am in control
Simply existing
Within this bleak cell

I'll be here until my end of days
Not one person
Visiting
Here I must stay
The mind of the killer
Sees only one truth

Images of horror filling my head

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha...

Tradition suggested that we may need a break. Crowns and religions, Exposed as just fake Politicians who tell us that all will be well While smiling so sweetly Party's for sale Crowns made of paper Angels and John Shoes, tattered and skinny Asking Them all If they'll spare you a penny, your house has just gone What about Sheila, What about Ron Can they both have some money They're cars in a pond, Insurance, taxation Scriptures and diction Vocabularies,  Manners  Man made addictions All caught in the maelstrom  Of evolution not fiction. Simples!  AGL

SOLITUDE and THE FARMED

-
Well that's it out there in the great big world. At first, once the book had been released I was filled with an incredibly potent feeling of fear and dread. What would the reader think? Good stories ? Bad Stories? a multitude of emotions visited me every minute of every single day. Now I find, that although still touched by a tiny amount of nervousness, the over all feeling I have is one of confidence, and a sort of devil may care attitude, I do care what the reader thinks about my work, but, it doesn't really matter as much now, its too late, the bird has flown, the words are free. I believe in my heart that both of the stories are worthy of being read by whoever wishes to spend some time reading. Sure opinions may differ, but my own opinion, though possibly irrelevant, is my own. Available to by online on Amazon.com and on amazon.co.uk, also at Wh Smith and Barnes and Noble as well as from the Author website, AG Leyden /SOLITUDE and THE FARMED. Please enjoy reading as much a...
