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

Yes, it will come to you;
But not now when you want it so badly.
So badly that you ask for it.
But for some it comes so unexpectedly,
no pain or suffering, out like a light!
You will linger on, oh Yes,
You are not meant to go, you will linger like a bad smell.
The wrong ones; gentle, kind, and happy ones
are the ones who go quick, that
shock the ones left behind.
It will come to you eventually, when everyone else is worn out, not you.
