Greg Edwards Poems

Alone, but not unhappy,
Aware, but not awake,
Living is not a cure,
For the depression that i take.
...

You hate me
A simple thing to say
You hate me
Simplistic in its own way
...

Reality, plays tricks on the mind,
It says and is, things unkind,
It twists and turns, leaving you in doubt,
When you think you understand,
...

What is time, when you stand alone?
What is time, when you have no home?
What is time, when you share it with none?
What is time, when you always run?
...

America, so proud to be
America, so strong and free,
America, where the weak are strong,
America, what is wrong?
...

Racial integration,
Of the people of this nation,
Ranting at the chains that hold them in their place,
It is not a situation i would care to face,
...

Hello, my name you do not know
Hello, my pain i do not show
Hello, I understand what you feel
Hello, i know why you don't think it is real
...

My confession goes unheard
My love finds no reception
And in depression i am covered
As i feel out my deception
...

I wish it were simple to tell
Truth from the lies, and Heaven from Hell
If good weren't gone, and evil not here
Then i would have nothing, and nothing to fear
...

Sentinel, watching over me
Seeing all and never pleased
I get the feeling that i have done wrong
But that is not different, I've been doing it all along
...
