Introduction

I have had a few people tell me I should start a poem blog so here it is. I have been writing poems for about 9 years and I have written hundreds of poems. In each post I will add one of my older poems first and then my newest poem.

Why I Can

Lowest To Highest
March 12, 2008
The stress of it all is wearing me down
Crushing every inch of hope
Making me sick with despair
Time to see where my work has got me
I have succeeded above all else
All the empty darkness is filled
With brightly shining accomplishment
The difference before and after
The low to the high
Is worth not being in the middle


Why I Can
May 21, 2014
I can do this because I've practiced
Practiced until it was made a habit
Habit that successfully hid me from myself
Myself has become so many
Many forms for different moments
Moments made for others, always
Always a different voice, different face
Face that belongs to me
Me hidden behind them
Them that double as I

  1. Interesting poem Jaycie! I like how it talks about how we create different versions of ourselves for others. Very interesting.
