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

UNHEARD
by Jo Coombs

I rage at my God, for He makes me hate me.
For my life is as pointless as it could ever be.
But my anger goes unanswered, my screams unheard,
And nothing ever changes, it’s just as I feared.
How I wish my life was a tape that could be wiped clean.
That I could start it over again, this one have never been.
But it’s too late to say sorry, too late by far,
For the pain is now part of me, I’ll always carry the scar.
