Joan Johnson Poems

i smile a fake smile
so no one can actually see
that my pain is over whelming
that i could never leave
...

Down a long, lonely, dark dirt road,
i drive
Sometimes i wonder if i'm still alive
Darkness in my heart thrives
...

her complexion so fair,
this is the only way,
shoulder length hair,
Death is her favorite thing.
...

I shiver in the corner
all alone i fear
all though i am not deaf,
there is nothing i can hear.
...

Looking into this shattered mirror
My screaming,
No one can hear,
it always makes me remember the crimson lines that were streaming
...
