Jackie Oakden Poems

my first glance at you made me think
that you hated me so much
when we first met you didn't give me a wink
but it was your face I wanted to touch
...

all she feels is pain
people think she's gone insane
with him out of her life
he won't be there to tell her good night
...

Even though I'm just a child these days
I do know what it is I have to say
so please just listen to me today
oh please get out of my way
...

I found a way out of my misery
with nothing to lose
because it will not stay with me
it's something i didnt choose
...

(verse 1)
im sorry i didnt tell the truth
i know for you it wasnt fair
but here is the real proof
...

the sun is up on this morning
its rising and its glowing
waiting for another day
to pass by today
...

im standing on the stage
with the scared look on my face
the music playing is full of rage
the beat is faster than my own pace
...

school is over
time to get sober
school is done
is it time to run
...

you scare me to death
i knew what you were on the inside
but not on the outside
is your real name seth
...

bombs flying past our heads
never mind its the airforce instead
war is all around us
you can find it riding a bus in Iraq
...
