Shilesha Johnson Poems

I try my best to keep my head up
But whenever I fall I need a chest pump
It just hurts too much to even try
Takes everything in me now to break down and cry
...

Love makes me insecure
Because with everything I am aware of
I begin to be unsure
All of the things that I don't stress
...

How am I to know what's real or not
You never really do
Until you take a chance but by then your heart has made its move
You cannot leave
...

Here to stay

I deal with you differently than the rest
I wear Loyalty on my chest
...

I want to experience a love like yours
A hand that reaches out to catch me
Before I hit the floor
A love that when faced can triumph
...

Regret

Something that's been eating away at my soul
The life I took away
...

I'm selfish
(6 am can't sleep sitting on the floor)
Im Trying my hardest to forget
Yet im contradicted with a heart that can't forgive
...

My could've been love

Sitting here with my back against the wall
Literally backed against a wall
...

We wouldn't just match
We'd fit together perfectly
There isn't a doubt in my mind
or an ounce of uncertainty
...

you were my best friend
someone i relied on
never did i think
that you'd be the one to do me wrong
...
