Jessica Thompson Poet Lyric

I Know

When you feel like 
all is lost,

you just can't carry 
on

feel like giving up

and your 
happiness is gone.



You have to pick 
yourself back up,

and find your four 
leaf clover

cause you have a 
life to live

and no way is it 
over.



It takes a lot of 
time to heal,

for the wounds to 
repair

but you still have 
love to give

a precious gift to 
share.



I know it will be 
hard,

once that door has 
closed

and to give all of 
you again

just makes you 
feel exposed.



Times will get 
better,

though it may take 
a while

just remember all 
the good

that once made 
you smile.



Though I lost my 
Mom,

I'm still a Mother 
and a Wife

and she would 
want me to go on

and try to live my 
life.



I know it's gonna 
take a bit,

but I have help to 
get me through

and I know she is 
with me every day

like your family, is 
with you.

Jslambert Mister Roboto July 9, 2014 at 10:09 AM I would definitely categorize this under LYRIC! It may bring a wider audience, A lot of times when I put a piece under rhyme or free verse, People won't even look at it! THIS....Needs to be looked at by as many people possible! ----I just reread both of these comments and I sound like a real jerk, telling you what to do! HEy, I mean well, and your poetry is quite nice! Jessica Thompson July 9, 2014 at 6:14 PM JSL, I don't think you sound like a jerk at all. I am actually moved that you like this piece. When I actually wrote this, I thought about the things you told me and what had been going on in my life. So that is what prompted this piece. Take care my friend, Jess :)

Jslambert Mister Roboto July 9, 2014 at 10:04 AM pick up a guitar, sit at a piano, hell, find a glockenspiel!!! IT DOESNT MATTER, Make this into a SONG! this is beautiful to me. KEEP WRITING! Jessica Thompson July 9, 2014 at 6:12 PM Thank you, I have tried my hand at writing music before. I didn't do to horrible, but not good with music notes and stuff. I can't play an instrument, but Love to sing however, and dance. I think writing has always been my passion though. Glad you enjoyed this. Take care my friend, Jess:)
