Jayce McCormick Poems

Mom, you brought God into my life
Showed me there is a path to happiness
You brought me to the spirit I needed most
And I am glad you did
...

I remember the fun I had with you
All the times we shared
Going to the park and eating ice-cream
And all the times you came for thanksgiving
...

There lies a meadow beyond the hills
where the Earth is cold, the air gives chills
and the grass lies drooped as the darkness spills
over the barren and lifeless savanna
...

Is it really worth it, all of this pain and doubt
and to know that even with the almighty one, I never will amount
to anything this world can give me, to constantly fall out
of hope I get from fantasies that I have to live without
...

Emotions are like the stirring seas
They can toss you around, mock, and tease
Some are true, progressive, and whole
And others are lies that tear your soul
...

Enough is said and enough has been done
By now I have lost all hope
I don't see the point of caring anymore
And I have reached the end of my rope
...

I have been depressed for so long
I see lemon drops falling out of the sky
My mind has been battered and beat for so long
That I almost want to die
...

A mind trick I suppose
This is just
I really don't know
Why do I say those things
...

Under the glow of the evening sun
You lie alone beneath
Cushioned, sealed, six feet under
Forever gone you will be
...
