Untitled Poem by Jennifer Peckins

I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna get up
Each and every day feels like another set-up
Put on my shoes
For a day or two
Take a look at how much I have to lose
Who can just stay
To beat another day
Sometimes I feel like there really's no other way
Things will change, but when
Because I know it's only then
I'll have a chance to save the old Jen.

When there is nothing left to say.. When there is nothing left to do..
Should I feel satisfied? No, always another clue
When I'm lost.. And too hurt to cry..
Where do I turn? Nowhere, and I don't know why
When I'm left alone, with you on my mind
Everything passes so quickly, except the time
I lay in bed, and hold a stone to my heart
Please, please, please, why'd you have to fall apart
Caressing its surface with my fingertips
A thousand and one wishes on my lips


If I were lost, I'd pray not to be found. And if I were free, I'd pray to be bound
Although I feel trapped, and here I stay, I know you're coming to rescue me someday
But it's me rescuing you, oh so much to confuse. We both know when to expect good news
I can't help the rhyming
Maybe its my timing
but jay inspired me to write
And in the end, that's right
The world's not black and white
But it'll take some time to see it in that light


And I thank Jay for my relief
His help is beyond belief
Just a student trying to learn
No answer, still I yearn
To figure out how
I will hang on now
