Jamie Aldridge Poem
It Takes Two
By: Jamie Aldridge
Ping to your pong
Has nothing to do with
YOU
It has everything to do with
THEM
All you did was respond
YOU
Meant to pass the test
THEY
Meant to fail your expectations
YOU
Wanted reconciliation
THEY
Are not capable of such
YOU
Have the right tools
THEY
Lack the first step
YOU
Wish they could be different
THEY
Wish you’d just surrender
YOU
Try, try, try, and try again
THEY
Will never stop the back and forth
YOU
Finally had enough
SO
Game is now over

Jamie Aldridge Poem
Blasted Cobwebs
By: Jamie Aldridge
Sticky business is their modus operandi
You can try to say no
but then you realize
your legs won’t let go
With all your might
you put up a valiant fight
For so many years you
strive to be
the bug they long to devour
Yet, all they desire
is to watch you tire
of pointless attempts
to reel them in
How they watch you spin
while sitting comfortably still
Unable to break free
from their thread of lies
they willfully spun
to keep you from ever
truly knowing, seeing, or
enjoying the sun
One day you’ll awake
and discover
that letting go
was always a piece of
chocolate choice cake
