Jeremy David T. Garrett Poems

The darkness had descended on the world once more
A young boy was called upon to take up this chore
To rid the world of that darkness no matter the cost
To keep on trekking, no matter what was lost
...

The wounds began to build up, quicker than I had thought
The pain began to amplify, from the lies others had wrought.
I sit alone, in my room, thinking about my life
Backing away, taking a look, at this world of strife.
...

Amidst the struggles in my soul
My emotions like a raging sea
Everyone can see the taken toll
everyone can see the fee
...

A new day, a fresh new sun
I'm late for the bus, constantly on the run
But then I freeze, who is that i see
Who is that person that has this effect on me?
...

Do you know the difference between you and between me
As you clutch that little blade, filled with uncertainty?
You are fighting against your depression, waiting to be free
While I am stuck watching, waiting until the end
...

What is that, in the air tonight?
A feeling so calm, so good, so right...
I saw you, though you did not see me
And I was captivated, but didn't want to be free
...

I sit alone in the at night in my room
A small lamp putting away the black gloom
Keeping me protected from the dark things I'm going to write
Helping me gain a little ground in this fight
...
