I am a cuckoo clock.
I watch myself go in and out
Of control

Love everything! Fear nothing. Four words to live by. I am living the art of knowing rather than believing. I have a college degree, but my passions have came from nature. My degree is in psychology, which suits me well because i enjoy researching and experimenting. I also know that our minds are our strongest muscles in our bodies. We are just a soul living in skin. I used to think, "I may not be where i want to be, but i'm going somewhere". Now, i think, "I am exactly where i should be, and everything is exactly how it should be". The only thing that has ever held me back from anything is a thought. Usually those thoughts came from fear. I made up my mind to leave no room for fear in my life. So now, all of my dreams are coming true. Its a pleasure to be here, and to write.
2:46 am in a Tennessee state of mind
Cigarettes and coffee have been morning rituals for far too long
There comes a time when change is cruel but so far out there
It’s hard to reach out of the ways that I’ve grown
I’m crying from the bottom
Screaming
Please let me out
The mirror of blame hurts
I break these pains
I break these chains
My heart is crying
It’s time for a change
I am heard
Hear me roar
I am a bird
Free like before!!!!
The power of I AM
Where do these thoughts grow?
Where have these questions been?
Never ask yourself who you are!
Be the confidence your daughter needs.
The power of I AM
Here
Shadows of my past and future play tug of war with me now
I see the light and don’t understand how
Lover of Rain
Peace of mind is the scent of petrichor
luring you in wanting more
it is the aroma of heavenly nature
in this moment, there is no love greater
after the rain we enjoy fruits of labor
this is the song of the true love maker
a delicate pluviophiles prayer
Two angels crying
from the heavens above
pouring like waterfalls
into oceans of love
surrounding the vessel
it gleams and it shines
full of something special
it’s one of a kind
pure white and soaring
the bird flies solo
the sky is pouring
lily pads below
?
The orotund timbre of the beating heart
A torrent of blood
Streaming
Torrid affairs
Dearth of good will
Draconian punishments
To obfuscate the truth
With ostentatious lifestyles
Prescinding from darkness
What’s love got to do with it?
Introduction
Greetings my fellow poets! My name is Jessica Gershon and this is my fifth year participating in The Poetry Marathon. The poetry marathon holds a special place in my heart. Poetry is therapy. Hugs make you live longer. I work in mental health but I am in love with nature, gardening, music, and art. Love makes the dream come true!
