New Poetry from Jess...

She continues to be amazing!

Girl in Therapy Session

I am in deep depression,
everything in my life is a mean lesson
I'm listening but my thoughts are far away
searching for a place of peace where they can stay
My heart hurts with disappointment
My face dry from tears
My body trembles with every moment
Surrounded by my fears
Fears that life will never change

and happiness out of range;
That life, love, freedom, never will come to me
and all my thoughts lost dreams.
I sit here writing
this terrible tale
as my body keeps writhing, my throat whales

(Cry!)
I am in deep depression,
I think I'll talk about death in the next session



My Father

You promised me his love; the love I've never had.
You promised me his smile, and I wanted it so bad.
So I took your hand in marriage, hoping for the best,
And for years you filled the void that was always in my chest.
But one day you were late, and at that moment I knew my fate.

I would inherit my mothers place at the window,
looking for you, looking for him.
Knowing all that was there was gone right then,
When you became him;
My nightmare, my demon, my father.
