James Royster Poems

Now is the time for change!
You think you have respect because you push a range?

Like little children we have all been pacified.
...

You were the perfect piece, but together we don't fit.
If life were a game of tag you would be 'It'.

You were my morning light, summer sun.
...

I Hate You
To me you are a disgrace.
I despise everything about you, even that cynical look on your face.
...

I have no reason to smile, no reason to cry.
No reason to live, no reason to die.

I have no reason to laugh, no reason to pout
...

Why do I sit here feeling so depressed?

Is it because I’ve failed even when I’ve given my best?
...

Me without you is like a heart with no beat.
I am like the sun with no heat.

I am like blood with no vein.
...

You came here in search of a dream.
I came here with no hope, or so it would seem.

You came here looking for money.
...

I have fought my battles and overcame them all,
But the current task is not something small.

It encompasses all of me.
...

What’s the point of life if there is no love?
What the point of religion if you don’t believe in a man above?

What’s the point of a house if you don’t have a home?
...

There's more to me than meets the eye.
What you think you see is probably a lie.

Inside this frame there lies three hearts.
...
