Jessica Stubbs Poems

When I need words most
The seem to drift away
My brain as their host
Doesn't know the right words to say
...

I'm sick of being awake
Gotta keep going for Mom's sake
Sit on the porch and have a smoke
Just wish I'd go ahead and croak
...

Let's go back in time
You and I
Let's go back when I was still okay
And the world was still a beautiful place
...

Don't judge my face
Don't judge my age
I'm here for a reason
So don't go startin any treason
...

Guess I'm another year older
And these shoulders have grown colder
I don't always mean to be such a pessimist
It all just comes out that way
...

It's starting again
Thought I'd get better
But,
It's starting again
...

I like the sound of rebellion
Of people speaking up for what they believe in
Of people being who they are
Taking themselves far
...

To all the lonely people
Who feel like they're waiting for the Reaper
Who feel like they don't belong
And your life is another sad song
...

Look at what I've done
Look at what I've become
Do you remember who I used to be?
Cause I don't, I don't remember me
...

I own the Night
The Moon and the Stars are mine
Oh, it is a lovely sight
I feel so alive
...
