Tasha Thomson Poems

Alone I walk the streets at night
Alone I deflate myself with this razor-sharp knife
Alone I was, alone I stay
Alone I live this life like a bomb site
...

Childhood was a time of innocence
When life was considered to be unambiguous
When the world seemed to be fair
When the universe was based around our little brown bear
...

Goodbye Mum I had to say
Last December on a winter's day
Everyone was telling me it was for the best
But for me it felt like an unwelcome guest
...

Summer is here
It has to be the best time of the year
Music, parties and a whole lot more
You have a lot to be looking out for
...

Day by day cuts built up on my arms
People would stare at me, I was known as the girl who selfharmed

'The Emo' they would call me
...
