TR Jones Poems

I'm sitting here, waiting
I'm walking here, pacing
I'm laughing here, forgetting
I'm crying here, remembering
...

I think the path has become straight
But the map I'm using is out of date
I wish I could go back up the trail
Because this route I would bail
...

Why am I here
When I have nothing dear
Why am I on this earth
What changed upon my birth
...

I used to know this guy
Who was born near the fourth of July
His life did not have any drive
For him there was no reason to survive
...

At times like these I hate myself
She sat there alone, all by herself
In my head I had it all planned
I just wanted to hold your hand
...

She is never the one to hurt me
I’m the one always adding to the debris
Its always my own fault
I start the brutal assault
...

So here is the deal
It’s time for me to reveal
It started last spring
I didn’t know what this would bring
...

The sun is now shining through
The sky is starting to turn blue
This storm has finally passed
The clouds are no longer massed
...

All my feeling are bottled up inside
But these poems are where I confide
My heart can hold no more
So I open up and let my feelings pour
...

My life is just one big let down
I surprise myself by not always wearing a frown
It looks good, it feels good
But in the end, I d take it back if I could
...
