J.M Berger Poems

Sometimes I let my anger get the best of me
I drink too much caffeine
I have dreams about impossible futures
And I have bad days that go on for far too long
...

Live by a schedule
But death is unplanned
We ask for directions
When we get them we don’t listen
...

your body
in a pretzel
all twisted
your heart aches
...

it's never enough
to say that you feel just fine
you've gotta prove it
you've gotta show it on the outside
...

It's Cinco de Mayo, cowgirl.
And what've we to show?
We think we act so tough
But we do it all alone.
...

It's easy to let the anger and jealousy eat you away
Eat you until there's nothing left

I know it's wrong for us to think the things we think
...

most of our problems
are never really resolved
we board up the doors to our pasts
and are surprised when someone shows up knocking
...

all i need
is someone to tell me that there's still hope
i'll be okay
with just a little glimmer of possibility
...

and there Ye go
returning to your roots which we tried so hard to pull
and if it ends like this
i guess it's fitting in a darkly comic way
...
