Untitled
Jessica Burgess Jul 2017
The silence slowly kills me
Reminding me that I'm alone
The silence is killing me
For I have no body

I'm alone
I'm in pain
I can't help but to cry
The tears fall
From my sparkling eyes
For I'm hurt
And scared

I can't tell what the future holds
But it's definitely becoming cold
Let me live
Let me fight
Let me in to the light

Let me sound
My voice away
Until I break this silent day
It's just me
I'm alone
Let me go
Back my light
Back to my happiness

LET ME BREAK THIS SILENCE
LET ME LOVE
LET ME LIVE
LET ME GOOO

My Brain
Jessica Burgess Feb 2017
I was once able to write poems
But it seems not my brain has crashed
So I'm afraid I will stop writing at last
I can not think of the words to say
Though my brain is thinking every night and day
I can not think of the feelings I
Used to fill my poems with
But now I am staring at my boring, white ceiling
For this will probably be my last
For my brain has stopped
Though writing poetry was a blast
I now say goodbye
And I will soon after cry
But farewell

Idiotic
Jessica Burgess Mar 2017
You shove me trying to make me fall
But I still yet stand mighty and tall
This makes you mad so you try another approach
However you just remind me of a roach
You creep you crawl you are very annoying
Go back to being a kid and toying with others
For I am not putting up with your childish acts
About this idiotic girl

Fall Asleep
Jessica Burgess Feb 2017
As I'm sitting in class
I am very near to falling asleep
If I get in trouble
I probably will weep
But for some odd reason I can't help
But begin to continuously
Fall asleep

Ahead
Jessica Burgess Dec 2016
I try to look ahead
But I can not
For the road ahead  is now blocked
I can't see through
The fog or the haze
It just happened to be
one of those days
Where the car won't start
Someone breaks your heart
Now you can't see ahead

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

Battle...
Jessica Burgess Jul 2017
I've fought this battle for so long
I'm tired of fighting
Can this be over
So I can be happy
Is that even possible
I'm questioning

This battle should be over
It's leaving me wounded
I can't heal myself
I am broken
I cry out into the silence
For I am alone
In this war

I can't fight this anymore
Because
I'm weak
And I'm broken too
Someone please put me in too
The light where I once was
The light where I miss
The light that was taken by my demons
Which lurk in the dark

Nature
Jessica Burgess Dec 2016
The leaves crackle
The birds sing
However this is not spring
It's colder so I shiver
I hear a stream from a small river
I hear the brisk wind blowing through
An old weeping willow tree
For I may not see it
But I can hear the many sounds
Of Nature

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

Foster
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
Mother I thought you loved me
Mother I thought the words you said were true
They were all lies
You left me stranded in the rain
Until the police came
They set me up as a foster
They asked me if I had anything
With me I quietly replied
No I lost her
Who is she they asked
I burst out into tears
My mother dear has left me here
I thought she loved me
I thought the she said were true
Now I'm cold and blue
For I'm without a home and family
For I am now a foster
Inspired by my little foster brother

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

Art of Writing
Jessica Burgess Jul 2017
Poetry has always been a habit of mine
I used to write whenever I had time
I drifted away from this passion so quickly
I quite miss the words falling together
It's how I express myself
So I don't keep everything inside
I let strangers read my feelings
And suddenly I wish to hide
In a deep black hole
Where I cannot be found
My words may mean nothing to you
Though the words have feelings as well
As I begin to write these poems my brain begins to swell
Hoping to get the flowing perfect
That doesn't 't seem to happen often
I've forgotten my creativity
But never the passion for writing
I've always enjoyed the writing
Essays or stories may vary
I use to write poems
Although I feel my emotions are scary
I don't wish to be normal
I prefer to be inimitable
I don't wish to grow up
However I am quite mature
My studies and interests change quite often
For I change my mind quickly
Trying to decide which choice
Would make my life better
Poetry I've miss you dear
Writing I have returned here

Untitled
Jessica Burgess Jul 2017
I've fallen down
I've fallen in
To the old me
To who I used to be
I have become
The person I wish I wasn't
I tried so hard
I tried for so long
To keep the past out of my life

But I've fallen down
I've fallen in
A portal has been opened
It's made me fall
So far to the ground
I've fallen in my past
I've found

That was the person I had hoped was long gone
Turned out she was waiting for my life to go wrong
Now that it has I've fallen in
I can't come
For I'm too deep in

Free
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
Our country is in trouble
The end is near
For I am just waiting
For Jesus to appear
To take me away from this
Terrible place
Where problems are solved not
With knowledge and wisdom
But with war and violence
It's truly
Meaningless
But that is it
The country that's supposed
To be free

Just Man
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
Why would you ever want
To be a "just man"?
To settle with something
When it's not what you want
Why act like you are fine with something
When you aren't
Is it human nature to lie
Or do we say them to avoid the truth
Either way why settle
When you could have what you want?
Never settle and be a
Just Man

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?

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

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

My Own World
Jessica Burgess Nov 2016
When anyone yells
If anyone tells
I just want to disappear
To my own world
My own dimension
Just anywhere but hear
I want to leave
For I know that nobody
Would care anyways
So my mind soon goes off
To my perfect universe
Know as
My Own World

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

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

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
186 · Oct 2016
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
183 · Oct 2016
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
182 · Oct 2016
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
178 · Nov 2016
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

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

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

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

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

— The End —
