Pain
This pain I feel,
Will it ever end. A
Constant struggle, War in
my mind constant struggle.
Sleep is my only time
away from the Thoughts
that hound my head.
I need some Thing. to give
me a peace. I turn to
Jesus and I have instant
relief. I do what he asks
and the peace fills my life
I know he is finally pleased
with me. My conscience is free
I have my Joy, my smile,
my old self. I fall into
a peaceful sleep Knowing
My conscience is finally appeased.
- Andrew Smith
Wanting
Not having,
but desiring
a choice I
cannot make.
A difference
not given to me
though I want
It so badly, without which
I would die.
- Tommy Butcher
I Wonder
Sometimes times I
sit and wonder
If my dreams will come true
What will it be like
When they do
how will I react
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
How things in my life will
change or will they
Stay the same I
wonder if new people
will come into my life
will they love me for
just being me
will they try to
Change
me can I be me around
any and everyone
will love someday consume
me or will I be overcome
by hate will I be too
Late I wonder
Wonder.
- Mark Jones
Believe
Make me
Try to believe
Only because i fail
It is your fault with a passion
Dare you?
- Eric Martin
Tears
All these tears. Will
they ever stop? The
constant pain and hurting.
Are they worth all the
tears. To live these
days. In pain and agony,
The tears never stop.
Until my time is up.
Standing in the rain to
blend in with my Tears...
These tears will leave me
alone...When all my hurting
is gone...
These tears will finally be away
from me...
- Valencia Harper
Happiness
A lot of things in life
Bring me happiness
But through everything
God is the best.
We have our toys
And our games
Everything we want
Even personal fame.
But one day we all will
either live in eternal death or Happiness.
The one I have is God
I don't want that eternal death.
It's my Heaven
Will it be yours?
- Scott Witt
Insomniac
Not sleeping
but doing what exactly?
These things running
through my head are...
No, they can't even be called thoughts
Not cohesive enough.
In a strange state;
A state of Nothingness
But I'm still aware...
Not of where I am
Nor of what's happening...
But of the Nothingness?
I lay here: strangest images
and words passing through
My subconsciousness.
What is that I think I see?
'Tis Nothing but a ghost
conjured up by my sleep deprived Mind...
Or is it?
Passing over the hill Now,
after I have crested it
I shall be at the home of deepest sleep
But until I reach that peak,
I must continue this journey
the journey of the Insomniac.

These poems are quite good. They must have a good teacher...
ReplyDeleteone poet-laurette, a one, Tommy Butcher, caught my eye as a bit of a Stevie Smith prodigy
ReplyDeleteVery nice...what is it about sophomore year? That was my Creed phase and my-life-is-ending-every-other-day phase.
