London, you lied to me (spoken word)

 



The big news in the last few weeks has been that I am going to be moving back home to Glasgow at the beginning of April. It's a decision that I have been wrestling with for 6 months and part of my difficulty in taking the leap was due to a false perception that I had picked up that told me I had no prospects outside of London and that I would be going backwards.

This notion inspired me to write the poem London, you lied to me. I want to just make it clear that I hold no animosity towards London, this is purely an expression of the struggle I had to allow myself to consider leaving.

It's my first recorded spoken word piece, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!
