Craig Jones Poems

She takes a photo for all to see
Beauty and grace, young and carefree
Yet in her eyes, there is a sadness
This picture of perfection hiding her madness.
...

Ever seen a goddess fall?
Shouldn't she be standing so tall?
The most beautiful women anyone can see
This is not how she describes herself to me.
...

All on my own within the darkness I sit, seeking solace, a mantra that fits
The silence is deafening, the thoughts are so loud, Accepting not even being a face in the crowd
Fears this is all there is, for me as I grow old, left dreaming of the life society has sold
A story of nothingness, no tragedy or pain, the dullness of boredom becoming insane.
...

Once again I asked the angels to free me from the prison that is my mind
Dancing with my shadow, the demons are all I find
Setting into motion every fear I've ever known
Dancing with my shadow, at least it's stop me being alone
...
