Do not attempt to convince me that
There is light in all darkness
Because, when you take a close look,
This world we live in is just hell

Jimmy,
I really liked your poem. Just 16 lines gave me insight into who you are and what made you that way. I liked how you incorporated many different aspects of your life, like cold fall nights, a never disappearing wish, and even fried chicken. It all helped me see a little of what shaped you and what you’re like. Thank you for your post.

You will come back with cloth on your feet,
small black socks that will reak.
Stay in bed, James. Lie still, do not go.

Jimmy,
I really enjoyed your poem. I can relate to this in so many ways. Just like everyone else I know, mornings are hard for me. I am constantly hitting my snooze button and rolling over to get more sleep. Thanks for sharing. -

but do not disregard
for it resonates within me
my mind will deteriorate
one day
and with thoughtless responses
you will find me consumed
come daylight

Jimmy,
I really enjoyed your piece and found that it has a powerful message about the frailty of the human mind. Definitely something I will be thinking about more now. Thank you for your piece.
