Poem – Page 72 – Simon A Jackson

Branded

Made a mistake and now I’m hauntedDon’t think I deserve to be this tauntedWe all screw things up from time to timeDoesn’t mean I should be treated like grimeCrushed beneath the heel of a heavy bootMy life does not need to be made moot Suffering is not the way to make a changeAll it doesContinue reading “Branded”

Under The Gun

You thought it was over, it’s only just begunEvery day will be under the gun Wait for the shotFear for the screamsThis day has been the crushing of dreams Hit to the systemSurge through the veinsButchered by the shattering screens Rust is in the corner of my eyeBlinding as hatred continues to flyThriving off whatContinue reading “Under The Gun”

Incendiary

Judge by today what came beforeI do not condone either orStamp out history for its mistakesHow are we showing that we’ve aged?Still simple children screaming for sweetsExcept you want blood for all misdeedsMust be nice to have never faltered at allOh wait you’re ignoring your fatal flawBut just burn all we have downHumanity still failingContinue reading “Incendiary”

New Normal

Waiting for the lights to go outHoping I won’t hear a shoutLooking for a different streamWords unspoken by a dreamDrifting on the silent airWill we ever be getting there?Stale weeks of feeling trappedPeople have started to floutDon’t they see the damage to come?Or would they rather we come undone?Staring at the empty fieldsLifeless roads likeContinue reading “New Normal”

Perfect Escape

Walk into the gardenAll green around meBeyond comprehensionCan’t understand beauty With all of the flowersThe scents and aromasIts like a garden of EdenFeel like I’m dreaming Birds are a chirpingAnd bees are a buzzingPeace overwhelmingBrand new dimension Bounce with every stepJoy from disconnectDon’t want to leave hereNo ounce of fear Roam for some hoursSky filledContinue reading “Perfect Escape”

You Won’t Break Me

Call me scum or some similar thingDo you really think I’m listening?Just a voice in the oceanFilled with spite and a dose of poisonNo reason to take your words to heartIf I did that I’d have fallen apart Get a lifeGet a clueGet whatever you want me to Hurl heavy objects at my headYou’re feedingContinue reading “You Won’t Break Me”

Pictured Imperfect

Picture of heresyThe one I keep close to meFree thinking with free thoughtA long way from my last resortUnbridled vision of sad to seeShattered wings carried new diseaseHunting wild with a savage eyeCandies meant to wave goodbyeRising waters will soon claimThe victims unable to exclaimWhirring tones of sullied moonThe dead will be your forever tombPassContinue reading “Pictured Imperfect”

Real Disease

Disease ridden locusts called humanityDo you really think we have superiority?Burning all we can until there is only ashSickening state that we try and crashHide it deep beneath the bloody wallsSad to say you can still hear the crying foolsWe’re all guilty but you won’t agreeToo busy calling for another shot of insanity As apathyContinue reading “Real Disease”

A Long Time Coming

You’ve reached a point where I couldn’t care lessThat is why I will simply wish you the bestI could hold a grudge and keep this bitter pillBut that would only be what you want me to feel Those days are gone and are not coming backFrom here on out it’ll be me on my ownContinue reading “A Long Time Coming”

Variations

I beg for you and you beg for meAre we that much different really?Both are right and jointly wrongJust as we prevail and fail to be strongReflections in a non-existant mirrorReality couldn’t be much clearerIt’s like we are some type of cloneThe pair of us even use the same tone Am I talking to youContinue reading “Variations”
