John's original poems

<< November 2005 | poems index | clock poem | December 2005 >>
Could this really be me?(a grandfather/longcase/tallcase clocks dealer?)  (October 2005)
Existing in a realm of make believe,
or is it reality ?
Afraid of the darkness the future may bring,
but often more afraid of the present.
Egotistical,self-centred,loving,sensititve,
easily hurt,desirous of affection,distrustful of convention yet a father to my children.
Sometimes not knowing what the hell to do!
Wanting help,but who from?
Trying not to care,but often alone.
A man, a child,a critic of myself and the world I inhabit.
I need to fight back,and if I do,
I believe I will win,because basically,
I'm just a great kid!
