Justin Sweeney Poem
So you found me hoping
You found that I was dreaming
You found me laughing at my worries
And you laughed at my freedom
You took a stern jab of kindness
And cocked your fist real tight
You told me I should worry
And that would make things alright
You took some sort of freedom
And twisted it in half
You secured my insecurities
Until my mind went adrift
I opened my eyes
And found myself
Looking down, wondering why
Holding on to discouragement
Because that is what you taught
You’re not like any other
You get inside
And fingerpick my emotions
You jumble up knots in my stomach
You make me afraid
You bring doubts into my mind
You are so deceiving
I could go on but I’m leaving…

Justin Sweeney Poem
Another day of secure monotony. Yearning for something more, yet stuck in a form of melancholy.
Someone must do this job, but is it me? I question my daily moves and stare at stagnation. However, I find something comfortable about waiting. The walls echo the basic form of existence around me. My body desires motivation, change, an artistic outlet. I focuse in too much. And yet I stand in the immediate.

Justin Sweeney Poem
Looking for direction
Some persuasion to go on
This life told me there'd be
better
So I must keep moving on
No time to stop for thinking
Cause if so, you know it'd tear
me down
This world has a way of
spinning things
To where I look like a clown
So no matter if I'm drowning
And spinning upside down
I've got to find something to
hold on to
Something to keep me going
Not just looking around.
