Im ashamed to say I wrote this about 3 years ago and had originally posted it to what has now been discovered to be a complete scam: Poetry.com. I hope, by placing it here and sharing it with you guys, I can get over the naivety I used to have as a budding poet, and reclaim it as my own. I cant take it off that punishable site, but I can still say its mine.

I never wanted scrutiny in here
My secret garden of words
Shine with silverdew as they push through.
The smell of mummy and daddy
They grow fast as the fury pours down
Once with a love that cannot be denied
Twice with a love that cannot be contested
A love that hits gently

Sometimes stars struggle to keep me upright
Rendered immobile by some crawling nightlife

And the guilt works in the sun
To make sure my roots lie with them.
