A Poem Poem by Adam Hollingsworth

A Poem

Rating: 5.0


I am from…

I am from many lost jobs and a dreamer’s reality,
Torn over failed relationships and betrayed friendships,
Walls built to the mass of cities long lost.

I am from journal to journal of a life before me,
A poet’s diary, and chaotic written songs,
Streams of laughter and lines of nights,
Pack after pack in a smoker’s life.

I am from a liberal thought process, with Freudian obsessed lines to read,
And a slight nihilistic contempt for authority,
An ear for Nirvana, and mind expansion techniques,
A poem from Thomas rings so sweetly.

I am from “Live and let live, ”
And a forgiven line of “Never met a wiseman,
But if I did it’s a woman, ” and
Lets not forget, “A working class hero is something to be.”

I am from Hitchcock’s black and white films,
South Park and Simpson’s, I’m so bored with TV,
Book after book, and several broken guitars,
Written lines scrawled in notebooks from me.
