Jess Powers Poem
full of hatred
full of regret
full of despair
yet empty
empty of love
empty of joy
empty of life
yet full

Jess Powers Poem
His blue eyes electric,
so clear through the dark.
They shone so bright,
his baby blue eyes.
Despite his age,
he looked so young.
They shone so bright,
his baby blue eyes.
On his bike,
he was so free.
They shone so bright,
my baby blue eyes.
-Dedicated to my Great Uncle George-

Jess Powers Poem
If you can't accept who I am,
I can't accept you know what's best for me.
I am who I am and I don't plan on changing.
Yes change is beautiful,
But what if you're beautiful before you change?
I'm fine with who I am right now
And nothing's going to change *that*.
If you've got a problem with that,
Then I don't want to know you.

Jess Powers Poem
Raw colour aftr the sunrise
I ache to be gone
Driven mad by my words of insanity;
That taste of sweet nothings.
My peach scented breath
in the crisp morning air,
Oh, who was there to see
my entire world consuming me?

Jess Powers Poem
Reinvention is distilled
by tidal waves of fools.
Of distant childhood memories
Of trying to be cool.
Of people pointing out your wrongs
Never what is right.
So you don't know how I feel.
I'm trapped inside this dissapointing world.

Jess Powers Poem
The whole world is out to get me
so I run away; I hide.
In the garage, under the bed,
On the roof.
No one bothers to look for me anymore.
I am being abandoned.
So as I sat on the roof, I wondered
what it would be like if I jumped.
Would it feel like I was flying?
Will it be what I imagine?
Or will I fall to the ground quickly,
landing in a deflated heap?
I want to fall forever.

Jess Powers Poem
I say hello,
the room goes quiet,
it is filled with awkward silence.
I am not wanted.
I turn to leave,
I take three steps,
I slam the door,
conversation resumes.

Jess Powers Poem
He's going to die
He's going to die
He's going to die
She needs some help
She needs some help
She needs some help
They won't make it
They won't make it
They won't make it
She's losing hope
She's losing hope
She's losing hope
He's leaving us
He's leaving us
He's gone

Jess Powers Poem
No one noticed as the blackness consumed me;
No one noticed when I cried;
No one noticed anything at all.
Until I died.

Jess Powers Poem
Do this, do that
can I have no independence?
I am treated like your junior,
we know this is not the case.
This is not fair.
Maybe I should leave.
You would be an only child.
Is that not your greatest desire?
I could be gone,
you WILL be free.
Yet your freedom,
it comes at a cost.
One's freedom for another's sorrow.
Whose sorrow? You ask.
Mine.
Are you willing to risk it?
