Writing poems from a young boy when I use to hide away in my safe place to stop the beatings then stopped when I started work age 12, worked with family then I had my own company and fell from a ladder in 2017 broke my lower spine so had metal fitted in spine metal fitted in right wrist metal fitted in neck and now a full replacement metal left shoulder so I had to finish the job I loved, not long after my wife left and things went worse so I took myself back to what protected me as a child I hide in a room and write poems about how I feel and what has happened. As a child I was abused so hiding was my safe place now even at this stage in life I still sit on my stairs and write, but the last couple of years I have been turning my poems into songs. Now any poem or song I write I can only write what I feel inside and as I suffer with depression they come quite naturally, in 2022 I was told I have a begin brain tumour and I thought great just what I need as they were going to fit more rods in my neck and fuse the top C section but I refused I have enough crap to b getting on with. I did invest money with what I thought was a friend only to be ripped off by a huge sum that big I had to sell my home, so now it is me alone in a converted barn that my relative owns but keep taking the tablets life may change. Everything I write about is about true facts and how I feel at the moment of writing some sing about hills and trees I can’t unless I have experienced it, I can write better when I feel low but as for music I do have a guitar but since having my left shoulder replaced and a plate in my right wrist I can’t do a thing so it is my friend who puts music to them and now he has cancer so I will only be able to write once he takes to his bed but I will write for other people if needed.
