Monster
Jayson Sep 2019
I don't Drink.
Not because I don't want to.
I don't Drink.
Not because I don't need to.

I don't drink because of you.
because of what you did
because I swore that I would never be like you
because you were the monster I feared

I don't drink, because I fear.
I fear the monster in you, will become the monster in me.
That monster is something I never want to be.

Inside
Jayson Sep 2019
There’s a darkness inside all of us
It starts out pretty small
But in everything we do, we feed it
Let it grow big and tall

This darkness is our truest self
The face we try to hide
A monster deep inside us
That simply just won’t die

Go back 8 years
Zoom in to my bedroom at 20:13
See the tears run down my face
As I sit behind my desktop
Reading.
Realizing what had happened
You were 19
You were a Friend
You were a Role Model
You were a King
You were a Legend
You were taken too early. . .

Mind
Jayson Sep 2019
The places where the demons hide
The voices that always lie.
The deepest corners of my mind
The darkest moments of my life

All stuffed
Into one
Little room

You

You
When I am alone, the voices won't leave
When I am with you, I can feel the silence . . .

13 Years of Happiness
Jayson Sep 2020
You were my best friend.
When no one else was there.
You always listened to all my problems.
You never left me sad.
You always trusted me, even on my bad days.
You spent your life revolving around me.
I miss you so much.
You were truly Man's best friend.
I'm sorry I wasn't there at the end.
I pray you rest in peace.

— The End —
