Imagination
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
You can shake me
You can break me
You can take whatever I have
But you will never have
My imagination

With my imagination
I can create a
Fantasy world
To escape reality

So take me
Or break me
I don't care
For I will forever have

My imagination

Lies
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
Many lies can be sticky sweet
They can appear as a treat
So we never know the truth
It easily slides out of our mouth
Just a little lie
We never think it could ever hurt someone
But we end up being wrong
But lies can be sweet
And they appear as a treat
Lies can be satisfying
So the truth stay hidden

Music
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
We all hear it
For it's everywhere
Sometimes when we hear it
We just stop and stare
Music can help us escape
Some of our problems
People may also just stand and gape
For music we hear it everywhere
And sometimes we just can't help but stare
For music is part of you and me
Music can help us feel free

My Words I Dread
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
There are many things that I dread
It usually is something I've said
For I can't take it back
It's out there forever
If I dread it
Or if I've said it
It's permanently on the outside
For I could not keep it in
For now I dread
What I've said
I wish I didn't say it
It's been very hurtful
I'm sorry to those
Whom my words have affected

Myself
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
Hello
I am the one you have never seen
For I hide myself well from
Human existence

I am quiet and stay to myself
If I don't trust you
I don't open up
For I am not an open book

So I hide in fear
That people will
Eventually see who
I really am

So for now I will say
Hello
From a far

Poetry
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
It's the one thing
That's keeps me happy
Even though my poems
May be sad and depressing
They still make me happy
I was inspired by the great
Edgar Allan Poe
And now I let some people know
My feelings through my poems
For my poems make me happy
Even through the toughest of times

Stranger
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
I saw you from a far 
Your eyes shining like stars 
Though you were a stranger 
It felt like I had know you for forever
I didn't want to leave 
Cause I would probably 
Never see you again
I remember you were drinking 
Champagne Taittinger
And I worried about seeing 
A ring on your finger
But I didn't come talk to you
For you were a stranger

The Door
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
I've always wondered
What was behind the door
For it's in a house that's
Supposedly haunted
I always go by the door and listen
I hear screams and crying
It scares me
And
Intrigues me
At the same time
I will always wonder
What's behind
The Door

The World
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
It's a scary place
Things that happen
Can make tears run down
People's face
That's where my fears come from
Afraid of the wrong person in charge
Scared of jobs going scarce
My fears can be triggered easily
But it's all about the world

Cheetah
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
What animal would I be
I'd be a cheetah for I'm free
They run and sprint
As they please

For they are free
I'd run and jump
Forever free for
A cheetah is the animal I'd be

For they are
Forever free

The Man in the Window
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
The man in the window
Will haunt and taunt
And he will never stop
For he is the man in the window

He screams and dreams
That you will forever leave
For he is
The man in the window

Destination
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
The ship goes higher and higher
As we fly and soar
We get closer to our destination
Which we wish to meet forevermore

We get closer and closer
And then we stop
For we have reached our
Final destination
The galaxy

We wanted to see if it truly looked
Like we said it did
It don't however
It's gorgeous as it is

Why try
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Why try
When we say
Goodbye
For the result
Is that we end with
A sigh

Why try
When we say
Hello
For the result
Is that we end up being
Ignored

Why try
When we say
I love you
For it turns out
It's hardly ever true
So we end up blue

Why try
When we say
I hate you
For that's not true
We just don't want
To let out our true
Feelings

Leave Them Be
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Oh I over heard
That she likes him
Who cares for
If they are happy
Leave them be
For maybe they are truly meant
For each other
Maybe they make each other's day
So quit listening to what they say
And leave them be

Record
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
We laugh
We cry
Until we say goodnight
Then we see scary sights
They frighten us
For they are nightmares
They are only meant to scare
The day is the time
When we say
Good morning
And repeat
As it follows
We laugh
We cry
And we then say goodnight
And repeat
For our life is a broken record
That never ends until it's broken

Play
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
I woke up this morning
For I am not where I belong
I know this for I hear a sweet song
I see a puppeteer
He's joyful as can be
As he plays around with glee
I finally count to three
I now am forever me

Dear Future Me
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Try and be free
Even if you don't succeed
Never give up on your
Hopes and dreams
Hard work takes time
But eventually it's all gonna be worth it
For you will have accomplished
Everything you have ever wanted
Which are your hopes and dreams
Oct 2016 · 481
Fake
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
He was so fake
My heart started to break
I knew he lied
I thought he cheated
For he was never around
I saw the texts
All the girls
From the day when he was a boy
I couldn't see that I was only his toy

Fairytales
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
They are so perfect
For they end in
Happily ever after
But what if the happily ever after
Turns into a nightmare
Cinderella has her fella but what if he thinks she's crazy
Ariel has her prince but since she don't have her voice he may think she's mute
Snow White also has her prince but what if she is poisoned again
What we see as our hopes and dreams
Are never what they actually are
For they are only
Fairytales

Beginning
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
The end is just the start of a new beginning
When we die we are just starting
Something new
We will soon hear the deep voice of the Lord Jesus Christ
Or if you don't believe in Jesus
Maybe you will become someone new
Either way the end is just the start of a new
Beginning

The Strangeness of My Mind
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
When I close my eyes I soon fall asleep
Knowing that I will soon start to dream
Though dreams seem real they are only make believe
However when my dreams turn into nightmares I then start to grieve
Because my twisted mind leads to me having dreams that soon turn into
Nightmares
Oct 2016 · 252
Shadow
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
My shadow is hardly like me at all
For when I look at it tears don't start to fall
My shadow has never had panic attacks
For it does not know the facts
It's a perfect thing
Unlike me for it is only my
Shadow

Taken too Soon
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
You made the reunions come to life
Losing you felt like I was stabbed by a knife
Cancer took you too soon
I now look up to the moon in prayer
That one day I will see you there in heaven
You made me laugh
And then I cried
I was laughing then next thing I know
Everyone is saying goodbye
It is simple for you were
Taken too soon

Hurt
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Though the things he bought me were expensive
It didn't matter he still hurt me
He left me with bruises
His money was very convincing
He bought me lampshades
And jewels but that never was
Out of love
Oct 2016 · 168
Fall
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
It's now the fall
The snow will soon fall
The sun hardly matters at all
When it's fall the leaves change
They see to arrange into
Different patterns on the ground
And you hardly hear a sound except
For the sound of the whisping wind
It faintly sounds as it blows
Though it doesn't show
It makes us cold
For this is
Fall

Romeo & Juliet
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Although I know our love is forbidden
My feelings feel so forbidden
We've tried to keep our ways apart
But this is only breaking my heart
I love you I do my feelings
For you are true
I want this to work
But our love is forever forbidden

Rhythm
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Rhythm is a funny thing
Don't you think?
We move and sing to it
It's all set perfectly together

But why follow it?
Why not make your own path
Or music for rhythm is anything
Make a beat and move your feet

For rhythm is easy as can be
Oct 2016 · 221
Dreams
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
My dreams can make me fly
So far far away
They make you go here and there

You may hear frightening screams
But don't give up on your
Hopes and dreams

They make you go to a place made of fantasy
That makes you wonder why live in reality?

Tragedies
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
Tragedies what art thou foul memories
That come back to haunt me at peculiar moments

Where I can not escape thou haunts and taunts
For I relive them each day of my life

These memories have left scars that I shall remember forever
Forever is eternity
But without love what is forever?
Inspiration my anxiety

Blinded by Love
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
I thought it was destined
I thought it was true
But it all led to
me being blue

I've tried
I've pleaded
I'm just not needed

I love him I do
He don't feel the same
For any chance he gets
He will give me the blame

He's blinded me
He's tried me

It just won't work
For deep inside he
Is just a ****
Oct 2016 · 210
Darkness
Jessica Burgess Oct 2016
The dark is frightening
As long as there is no
Light brightening
We hope we don't see
Nothing scary

For we shriek and wail
Following an endless trail

We want morning to come quick
So we don't have to scream and cry
This morning is a such delight
But still we fear the night

— The End —
