Justin Zahn Poems

It took me a while to realize,
what makes me 'me' is simple...I'm terrified.
Terrified of not knowing what will happen next,
to be rejected by all and alone at best.
...

Damn! Damn! Worthless thought.
For now finding it hard to understand
anything...
if anything at all.
...

Hold my head, hold my head.
Watch! For the time spent aching
and shaking,
my head may lose its center
...

Look at this desk in disarray,
clutter like that of the waste land,
but yet we pray;
as the blank page stares back with mocking eyes
...

With closed eyes,
how can one expect to see?
So why do you
close your eyes at what frightens thee?
...

I'm happy...
I usually can't say that
without lying to myself.
It's almost a strange sensation;
...

I had a chance
but I didn't take it,
instead I just walked away.
Just like before,
...

I love you
as the moon loves the sun.
Cause without the sun,
the moon wouldn't shine.
...

Scars and tears;
scars and tears
oh how you have branded me.
Through each contorted piece of flesh,
...

Sometimes its hard to know what to say,
how to act, and what to do,
but as long as you are yourself,
people can't help but love you.
...
