Scratching chalk boards
amongst the chatter
clinking glasses
make ears shatter.
Nervous leg dances around
mind projects troubled frown
these eyes get lost
amongst constant drown.
No one wants a troubled friend
all ears
but none to bend.
Come along
it will be nice
disregard the chill
the winter ice.
Try not to scream or flip a table
must act calm
show I’m able
to remain in this place
remain at this table.
Try to talk
make them laugh
put on usual
jokers hat
we mustn’t fall
into misery’s trap.
I cant do it
I want to go home
retake my seat
my depression
throne.

My name is Charlie Hasler, I live in North Wales with my fiancé. I work at Law firm based in Chester and write in my spare time.
My writing started a few years ago but was something I always put down more than I picked up.
After a tough couple of years I felt I had some things I needed to say so I have found myself writing again.
My writing mainly focuses around poetry.
I have self published my first book "Words From An Unlikely Poet" which I hope is the first of many books.
Aside from writing I also enjoy walking, reading, gardening and boxing, though I am more a spectator now days.

Horrible isnt it, a mix of emotions caught between anger you feel you were made to go and guilt you feel you spoil the occasion for everyone else

Which is why I almost always avoid parties…. lol…. I’m such a hermit. It’s easier to hide at home and hope nobody misses me.

Same, for years people didnt said I was the life and soul but thats only because I over compensated to hide the fact I was nervous, I just dont get small talk.

It’s such a vicious cycle…. I think that’s why people like us turn to writing. It’s easier to express ourselves and we don’t have to answer to anyone for what we’ve written.
