jonathan levy Biography

I was born in New Jersey. At a young age I moved to Dallas with my folks and ever since then I've been down here. When I was in High School is when my life turned around. My brother had been arrested for a drug offense and was sent to jail for a while. This only started the domino effect on my luck or lack of it. Soon after my grandmother past away whom i was very close to. A week later my great grandmother followed. Having lost a few people close to me made me start wanting to write poetry. To express myself w/o having to do it physically. Time went by and my grandfather was moved to a retirement home battling Parkensons disease. A few years later it took him as well. Having a series of downfalls in my life has made me realize how lucky I am to be alive, even if I know things aren't going my way. So I turned to raves and partying to take my pain away. It was a time in my life to experiment and soon after I was swayed by the music. I started realizing it was not on this side of the turntables I wanted to be but the other. I soon followed my brothers lead and became a dj. Playing at parties and enjoying life. But things can't go well w/o their being something to counter that and something did. In 2006, my dogs I had all my life past away. One at a time, both drowning in the pool while I was away. I felt I had let my dogs down and started to blame myself. I know they were old but it made me hate everything until someone made everything better. She turned around my whole year for me. Made everything else seem like it was alright. The first time in a while someone made me feel good. Soon later she broke it off with me and here i am. Starting to write poetry again. Poetry and my music are my release from reality so when I am not practicing on the turntables I am writing. When I write it lets me vent out my emotions. Some raw and some filtered to what I want ya'll to hear. Now that I finally have my own place I have alot of time to be alone so there will probably be an increase in poems. I hope you all enjoy.)

The Best Poem Of jonathan levy

There's No One Here But An Echo

Alone all by my own my most hated fear,
Friends all around but only an echo I hear,
My own,
For no one to hear the weeping of my cries,
And no one really knows how i hurt inside,
Inside where it matters,
Inside my heart is only my friends,
Only a few which are not pretend,
But friends don't make you feel complete,
A feeling one gains from head to feet,
No special someone to touch my heart,
No one is their so I just grow apart,
And grasp reality that no one is there,
No one to hold me,
No one to care.
