Jamaica you'll learn about me as you read my poems
i don't know what to do , i can't seem to make a decision. there's a part of me that wants to hold on but there's a part of me that wants to let go. "holding on does more damage than letting go" but i'll be hurting either way. why do i want to hold on? you're like my peace and happiness when everything seems lost. why do i want to let go? your words don't quite match up with your actions. you say you're interested in me and you really like me but you can never find the time to spend time with me. no matter how "busy" you are, if you care about the person you will always find time for them . am i right? so why can't you ever find time for me? i've given you countless chances and you ruined every one of them and yet still i come running back to you like some **** fool. and as i look closer at it , the bad overpowers the good. but am I really ready to let go?

do you ever just sit and think to yourself, "why am I here"? do you ever wonder what will happen if you died right at this very moment? do you ever wonder how people's lives would've been if you weren't a part of it? do you ever wonder if you mean something to everyone you communicate with? well I do do you ever wonder if everyone secretly hates you? do you ever think of yourself as someone who serves no purpose to others? do you ever think that no one will love you because you're just an ordinary girl/boy? well I do do you ever think you're an awful friend and you don't deserve friends at all? do you ever think that you should just stop trying because nothing ever goes right? do you ever want to leave, permanently? I do

do you ever?
Social Injustice; from ****** to **** from kidnapping to ****** all these things our society does best How cold can you get? How do you sleep with yourself? Is your heart at rest? Do you ever not regret? We are the reason our nation is corrupt We are the reason God looks down on us I know they say God never changes and will always be compassionate But what if God gets fed up and turns his back on us? Over-taxation! Why do we have to pay so much for the food we need? Extortion! Why does the poor pay for the rich to eat? Religious Persecution! When did religion become a war of better denomination? Police Brutality! This grows each and everyday Why are we being physically, mentally and emotionally abused by our 'protectors'? What about the mothers that cry for their children? All our prayers in vain You even **** newborn babies, souls die without a name Where is your shame? Do you feel no pain? Society, we are sure to perish, if these social injustices remain the same... writers: Jenelle and Anise

Social Injustice
I can't believe how amazing you are. You're the only person who's made me feel this special in a long time [delete] are you sure you just want to be 'friends', I think I'm in love with you [delete] can I have a goodbye kiss? I love your kisses, they taste like summer [delete] I wish you would just say "Hi" to me in the hallways [delete] that girl you always walk with is beautiful, I can understand why you didn't want me [delete] when you told me I was beautiful and **** and all you would ever want, was that all a lie too? [delete] I got a mosquito bite today and it reminded me of when we slept outside and were attacked by them [delete] it smells like the nights we spent together [delete] one, two, three...I've lost count of how many drinks are for you [delete] I wish you thought about me as much as I think of you [delete] why are your words stuck in my head [delete] I was naive and young, I'm sorry I actually thought you loved me [delete] it's been months since the summer nights we spent together. please tell me you miss me. [delete] my chest hurts. my heart aches. everything about you from the way your lips tasted to how I got chills down my spine from just one touch makes me want to explode [delete] the blood running down my wrist contains the words you said but never meant [delete]

beware when you fall in love with an artist be it a painter, a singer, or poet for the artist will paint you with strokes and hues in shapes of every kind sing about you with heartbreak lyrics and feelings which rhyme write about you with the simplest words and a secret message she wants to say beware of the artist, and her love one wrong move and you're an artwork in her display

an artist's love
you've lost interest. that's okay, I expected it anyway. but what I can't understand is, how can you lose interest in someone you claimed you loved? was it true love? or was it infatuation? whatever it was, I fell for it. maybe everything that happened in this relationship was a lie. well I wouldn't know but I assume it was. so why did you stay so long? filled my head with lies, knowing you were going to leave me. but everything happens for a reason, right? maybe there is a reason we broke apart, so we could find someone better. so you've lost interest, that's okay. maybe it just wasn't meant to be. so I guess this is a goodbye. Goodbye love.

Who am I? I really don't know how to describe myself... Could I say I am a nice person with a bubbly personality? (No) Could I say I am a mean person who portrays nothing but hatred? (Eh, no) Could I say I am a nonchalant person who doesn't care about anything? (Maybe) Could I say I am one of those sad persons who does nothing but think negatively about themselves? (Yes) To be honest, I have mixed personalities. You may never know which side will show today. If you're lucky, you may trigger off one of my good sides, if you push your luck, you may trigger off one of my sides. (Don't push your luck) To tell the truth, I don't know which side is my true side. And I ask again.... Who Am I?

Who Am I?
I walked out into the woods, on a clear Autumn morning, and used Daddy's hunting knife to cut you out. As if I were a surgeon, cutting away with purpose, no blood was lost as you fell away from me. You dropp'd to the forest floors, drifting away with the wind, I thought you were gone for good that I was free. You're anything but benign, a creature from the dark woods, following me as a wolf out for the **** Helpless to spend the Winter, cold and alone and empty, waiting for your sure return back to my heart. Spring comes as you slither near, hidden and slowly warming, crawling and clawing upon my cold body. You've made your home by Summer, nested in my hollow heart, soaking in passionate love that will not last. I walked out into the woods, on a clear Autumn morning, and used Daddy's hunting knife to cut you out.

Daddy's Hunting Knife
What is that one thing that is killing us all? What is that one thing we can never face? What is that one thing we let people use against us? (our insecurities) Here is a message from me to you: Let go of your insecurities, I know it might be hard but you gotta take one step at a time. You are a beautiful and strong human being, don't let anyone bring you down. Don't you ever have doubt in yourselves. There is at least one person who sees past your flaws, and loves you for who you are. Be strong and don't let anyone bring you down. :)

Insecurites
everyone thought i was crazy because i said all i need to feel alive is your touch but they didn't get your touch like i did you didn't touch anyone else like you touched me and that's why no one would ever understand your touch is my addiction without it, i go crazy i should be in an asylum a mental institution that's what they all say but they can't treat me they can't cure me they won't be able to bring you back and without your touch i slowly go crazy because i don't have my drug i don't have what i'm addicted to and there's no medication for my addiction because i'm not addicted to heroine or ******* i'm addicted to you and there is no cure for such an addiction because you're rare and even though you're gone you will always be rare. //
