When chemistry meets love, magic happens.

As a child growing up in Liverpool during the eighties, I witnessed first hand the struggles people had to endure because of the government’s neglect of our city. The government got away with neglecting its children, whilst Yosser and no doubt many like him had theirs taken away.

Yosser Hughes, the fictional character from Alan Bleasdale's incredible television series 'Boys from the Blackstuff', depicted a single father unable to find work whilst trying to look after his three children. 

The perception of Yosser back then, and probably still now is that he was a crazy, weak, and dangerous person. The reality though, is that Yosser’s behaviour was fuelled by many factors, not just povery, lack of work, and a broken relationship that we witness on screen.

Mental health awareness was zilch back then and most men today like Yosser find it impossible to talk about their struggles in life. This is largely due to the stigma of being perceived as weak. The only person he felt that he could open up to was a priest behind a veiled confessional box, who seemingly offered no help, support or guidance.

There will have been many traumatic events in Yossers life, all as a result of a cycle of poverty and lack of support and understanding that was generationally passed down. 

Yosser struggled on with his failing mental health, but clearly his love remained for his children. He kept looking for work, feeding his children, doing the best he could with what little he had. He like many was unfortunately doomed to succeed, and yet if he had been given help and support he could have brought his children up and been there for them. His wife, like Yosser just another casualty of the continuing cycle of victims, and sadly their children next.

Anyone struggling with their mental health should break free from the societal  stigma and speak to someone. You’re only human and can’t carry that weight alone. You are not alone and It’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s what makes us human. Just please ask someone for help!

Additionally, If you know someone who may be struggling with things, ask them if they want to talk, lend your ear, normalize their worries or concerns, and encourage them to seek help and support.

Somewhere

‘Colorful crochet’ fisherman wanders the streets sipping a calyx staring blankly colorful crochet unknown a poster half torn with the portrait of a woman with close-fitting dress with calyx-shaped breasts breasts wanting to coming out he drops the calyx Busting red wine flows through the maze of sidewalk the wine activates the planet the planet begins to turn he puts the hands in the pockets tear the lining of the pockets a child shoots him with a plastic pistol and goes away jumping and laughing he faints into the liner of the pockets: the long corridors of dreams where tears come together in the wishing well where poets taste the sault the salt that breaks the chains of fear where the voice strips the shadows

Lyrics:

I will give you a chance
To find out if this is romance
Or am I just wasting my time
Tell me, will you ever be mine?

You have to find out
What you want
What this is about
So make up your mind now
If you don't love me, ill go 

What do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

So make up your mind now
If you don't love me ,ill go

I aint gonna crawl
Pride and stubbornness  
I got it all
You will only get one chance
To find out 
If this is romance

what do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

You will only get one chance
To find out
If this is romance..

What do You Do?  (Original)

There's a girl in my neighborhood
She turns all the heads
She looks so good
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood.

There's an old man
Just up the street
Sometimes he's surly
Sometimes he's sweet
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

We don't have to be like
Best friends or lovers
We don't have to be
Like sisters or brothers
Ain't too hard to realize
To grasp or discover
We got nothing in this world
We got nothing in this world
If we don't have each other

Bunch of young kids
Playing on my grass
Obnoxious and loud
A pain in the ass
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is 
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Now there's some people
I don't recognize
They're not from 'round here
I realize
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop 
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it.

We gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of us in it
My neighborhood
In my neighborhood

In My Neighborhood
