Jeremy Willson Poems

A riddle that stumps the greatest of minds
You don't find it, but you is what it finds
It makes you happy and it makes you sad
Cause it can be something good or something bad
...

The gloomy boy fell asleep under the old oak tree
He laid there with his cigarette between his lips, he felt free
But only in his dreams never in his dreary reality
He pushed away all the people who spoke to him playfully
...

There once was a rose
A hard life in the gutter it choose
It was tough with a thick stem
A crystal in the mud like a rare gem
...

Do I make your heart skip a beat?
Do I make it hard for you to speak?
Am I so great that you think about me before you sleep?
Have I made you grab faith by the balls and take a leap?
...

Alone
Silent, afraid
They stood there watching
Go, collect the tears
...

You were the girl who's heart was shattered as it froze
Now your so cold to everyone my little Rose
I've come to accept you for who you are
And we're hanging out together now isn't that bizarre?
...

Why does everything have to hurt?
Worked out too hard, biceps about to burst
Punched a wall, knuckles are ripped and bleeding
Heartache, wandering in lifeless thought
...

I will tame this beast inside of me.
I will not falter, this is a stumbling stone I will surpass.
I will not give in to this despair for if I do I can never return the same.
I am strong like a roaring lion among gazelles.
