Poems from the great big Jersey poetry book. A collection of poetry from people in or from Jersey.

If you don’t like me,
Then why don’t you say?
But don’t wisper behind me
like you do everyday.

I try so hard,
I wish you could see,
But to be ignored,
is ignorance to me.

If you hate me,
That’s absolutely fine,
but don’t belittle me
outloud in your whine.

People notice it see,
and have said things.
They think you bully me
and should into retaliation spring.

But I don’t want war,
when I arrive I want peace.
The nastiness you pour
out your mouth doesn’t cease.

Just say, if you don’t like me
and I’ll keep out of the way.
Perhaps then, when you see
You’ll make peace with me some day.
