Jessi Hardison Poems

Don't you realize how you sound? How you look?
Maybe you'd learn something
If you picked up a book.
...

You are the sun,
Didn't you know?
You rise in the morning
With a happy face;
...

What if I could be one of a kind?
Be my own person, with my own mind?
Take my own chances
Worry about my own romances.
...

I tune it out
All of it - every shout
I stare off in the distance
Happy for one instance
...

I wish I could help you
Yet there's so much I've to do
How could I of known?
There was someone worse off
...

You race ahead;
What's the rush?
There's only so far you can go
Before your tires blow.
...

She passes in beauty
She flees in ice
Her insecurity is futile
Feelings kept back in a pile
...

Constantly you cover up; hide.
How can you not know I love what's inside?
Right under the surface I see it.
You are who you are, so be it.
...

Get it right, won't you?
I've told you a million times right on cue.
Stressing me doesn't reap beneifits, you know.
So, leave me be, just go.
...

Tell me
I need to know
You told me you loved me
So, where are you? Where did you go?
...
