JulesReveals: finding me

I wrote this poem one day after watching “Finding Nemo”. It was during the first year on my own. I had a decent job, paying rent, and going to school. I was living my life on my terms and making my own decisions. It was liberating, and watching the Disney movie reminded me of all I’d been through to get where I was.

finding me 
From fighting sharks
to being torn apart
seeking clues
deep down in the big blue
the search for escape
to speaking whale
being swallowed
to the sea turtle follow
bumping stinging jellyfishes
to being grilled my imitating fishes
through the kicking, the screaming
the running, the bleeding
the anticipation, the fear
the thrill of being near
the cries, the worry
the loses, the glory
the singing, the laughter
the many more after
Dori and Marlin found Nemo
i found Juliet O.

JulesReveals: recovery

I wrote this next poem during my senior year of High School, in  Study Hall. All my life I’ve felt trapped, Locked up. This was when I’d decided to do some growing up and figure out who I was, and what I wanted out of life. Every decision until that point had been made for me. I broke out; started with going to the college of my choice, against my mothers judgment.

recovery

now it's been 17 years
and I've had enough of this mess
I can't take it anymore
I'm closing the misery door

I know what I have to do now
I think I've known it all along
I just couldn't stature my wrongs
I just couldn't  figure out how

but now I'm there
what others thing, I don't care!
cuz I'm gone live for me!
no one can tell me anything!

I'm tired of laying low
and trying to satisfy everyone else
it's time for them to know
the gravy train is over, I'm gone only myself

from now on, it's gone be my way
no matter what they say
I'm living for me
and now, I'm gone be happy
