Short Jem Poems

Beauty from the sky
Hope to all the homes
Joy to the wondering soul
Christmas snowflake surrounds us with peace
Christmas snowflake is the jem 
To a magical night....

It’s starting too be night
I’m starting too fill with fright
It’s dark like my soul
One big dark empty hole

I try so hard not too give up
everyone told me not too interupt
they didn’t care
no matter what i share

they will care when i’m gone
it will just show them that they were wrong
i tried too show them
They wouldn’t look if it was a jem

I left too get away from them...

No, sir Atticus
I am not leaving
I am not like a beaver, who runs and hides
In the sight of danger
Who am I, you may ask
A boy who is older, and so much bolder
I will stick by your side Atticus
Sitting in that court room
Everything came to me in a rush
And boom
He is crushed
Why Dad, can they do that
I’m so mad
Now I see how people treat people
Dog eat dog around here
I can’t bear it...

I lost you

You were there in from of me 
I held you in my hands 
I didn't know what I had 
it only took an instant and you were gone 
I looked for you but gave up to easy 
now I think of you all the time 
I wonder where you are 
and what could have been 
you were the jem almost had 
you have the beauty I always dream of 
I had a glimpse of what my life could be
now I have dreams to help me live 
as I have no life of my own
I just sit here all alone...

Dresses, bows, make-up, this is who
I am not, don’t put me
In a dress
I’ll give you an insight of my life, I have a neighbor who
We call Boo
My brother Jem, who is older
Believes he is bolder
Atticus we call him, never dad
He never says we couldn’t, but I don’t want him to get mad
There is a boy name Dill
He comes every summer, to his aunts
He can be a bit of a pill
Together we act like mice
Sneaking around
But a price
We have to pay
To see another day...

Alone in the world
he makes his way
no one to show him
right from wrong.

Beaten and abused
he rises above
the ashes of the past
covered in bruises and blood.

Sobbing and heartbroke
he screams his pain
out to a god
his baby in hold

Wishing to change the past
praying for a new life
his little girl there remains
dead and cold

He vented his anger
and killed his little jewel
the gem of his eye

his pain 
now forever immortalized
in those diamond tears....
