Jessica Stubbs Poems

The way it was
Was never really a way
It was just what I was used
How I got through the day
...

Wandering in the dark
Feeling miles apart
From anyone here
Nobody i'll let near
...

Waiting for the storm to roll in
I found a feeling deep within
A little bit of pain and beauty
All mixed together and flowing through me
...

Why do I feel doomed
The clouds hanging over my head are full of gloom
Misery is my mind
I'm so far behind
...

Little paws tapping the floor
little paws clawing on the door
little paws where did you go
little paws i miss you so
...

I walk in the night
I take in the sights
I listen to the sound
Of the howling of the hounds
...

It's a blunt knife
That's digging into me
Makes it hard to get through the night
So black, I can't see
...

It's a cold bitter rain
It matches the pain
look inside of myself and what do I find
A thousand memories I can't leave behind
...

I don't leave home
I haven't talk to my friends in over a year
I live my days alone
Stuck inside with this fear
...

Figure in the mirror
Staring at me
Unsettling
Eyes sunken in
...
