Bradley John Downs Poems

tryna hold onto a fallen dream
i walked away and then i heard the screams
i turned around and looked into the eyes
another one with torn and shattered cries
...

i thought you needed me,
you said you need me,
you said to me, like you had neversaid goodbye
but this isnt a song from above my eye
...

somethings dont change, i could sit here for hours,
discovering the sound, see whats around
take what i can, other wise just be mellow
and control the feeling inside, man
...

consumed by the secrets of another truth-
testing you, calling you to relapse.
respond to your routine existance-
calling you, enthralling you to relapse.
...

Inspired, content, cooking up a solution
my mind is spent, for a situations resolution,
but harder it feels, than the way it consumed
my mind must be focused while my heart stays entombed
...

try and do it yourself,
try and make it your own
you gotta do it yourself,
make it your own
...

condition me, my memory,
in retrospect i look to thee
the deviant streak i took when she said to me
system crash, speak to me
...

an owl sits in a cemetary,
his perpetual glare peircing the cold mist.
rising from the fresh cut grass is
a dead oak tree thats slumps,
...

it was a fact and already known
its not an act weve grown to show

how can they rule us
...

Come time to test the truth and the fear
here comes the point to push you severe
you knew it was coming an now here you go
all that i have, all that i know
...
