Joseph Tanner Poems

I have a tattoo that says No Regrets,
A lie if I ever heard one.
We can’t live on life without regrets,
We can only learn from them.
...

My mind is dead to all of this,
Old men trying to hit on me,
Like they have a chance.
I hope not to end up like that,
...

Having to move with the times,
Tomorrow doesn’t wait.
People come and go,
Some never leave.
...

I’m not you,
Not wanting your way of life.
Unable to voice my opinion,
It is your life.
...

Looking at boys,
Watching me,
A lie to the naked eye.
When your smile; becomes mine,
...

Beautiful people at every turn,
Under the knife they go,
Life in a fickle world.
We all have beauty.
...

If I didn’t laugh I’d cry,
If I didn’t smile I’d be lost,
If I wasn’t strong I’d be weak,
If I didn’t let you go I’d never know.
...

Today is for living,
Tomorrow is for dying.
Why worry for tomorrow?
When you have today.
...

Hiding my identity,
So as not to offend the eye of others,
Not being the way god intended me to be,
But the way society sees fit.
...

I feel your eyes baring a hole into my back,
Daggers flying at the speed of lighting.
Frozen to the spot in fear,
Blood rushing with nowhere to go.
...
