a hopeless heart
a dreamless mind
a wishless soul
with chains to bind
a broken shackle
lay at my feet
as sorrowful tears
drip down my cheek
a song unsung
and time undone

Life is not happening to you.

Life is responding to you.





                                          Don't ask people for

                                          directions when they've

                                           never been where you

                                                      are going.


Work hard in silence ...................... let success be your noise.

                                                         ­                     Jon York   2019

Forget all

           the reasons

            why it won't

            work and

             believe the

              only reason

              why it will.
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

I keep myself busy
While thinking of you
I don't rightly know why
But I think I love you

I no longer force things.

What flows, flows.

What crashes, crashes.

                                                                 I only have space, time

                                                                  and energy for the things

                                                                   that are meant for me.

it seeps in our bones
and through our blood
it tastes like adrenalin
and looks like a snarling wolf
it crushes
it burns
it brakes your bones
yet we still crave
the rush
the pain

It  will all  fall  into   place,

just be patient and positive.

is it right
to laugh at someone
who's pouring anger
towards someone
for hurting?

is it right
to tell everyone
that she's crazy
just because she's angry?

is it right
that I feel bad
because i was once in the same position
and being angry was my only way
only way of telling everyone
that i was hurting?

is it even right
to bring you back into my life
now that i'm witnessing you do this?

i can tell you've changed
but deep inside
are you still the same person i fell in love with
over a year ago?

here i am
always confused
my indecisiveness
just doesn't help me
move on or go forth with my life

so is it right
to have you back in my life?
is it right?
