Jamie Ries Poems

I look at myself in the mirror,
There's not much to look at here.
Inspect the angles of my hips,
One side, two sides, I let slip.
...

For all the times we talked
And the times we shared a laugh.
For all the times we sang Albertson songs together
And never once held back.
...

The simplest form of humanity-
Kindness.
Though outweighed by the power of Insecurity-
Mocks you to this day.
...

I was born into a world
where everything was possible,
Nothing was unreachable,
Everyone was happy,
...

Thick green trees
Align the highways
As we leave our home
And embark on a journey
...

I don’t know what to say
I can’t make sense of my own words anyway.

I fight the fire with more fire
...

I feel alone
Like I’ve been isolated from the world
Like I’m invisible
And no-one can see me.
...

I'm reaching out to an imaginary man,
who doesn't want to hurt me,
he just wants to hold my hand.
...

I didn’t ask for you to like me
I didn’t ask for you to care
I never asked for your heart
I never asked for your ever-lasting stare
...

I'm tired of your mind games
They're breaking me down.
I despise your attitude
It's causing me to frown.
...
