Poems from Lilly Jones
I'm an exercise science major at Willamette University with a passion for poetry. I'm pre-med and I'm hoping to pay for college at least in part by showing who I am through my poems. Get to know me better through them, not through a bio.
I am flawless.
Not because I'm perfect;
Quite the opposite, in fact.
It is my imperfections that make me flawless:
How I sometimes forget...
Expression.
What the hell is the point?
Everything now is censored:
our words
our thought
our ideas
our bodies
our faces;
Everything about...
People search for what they call “love”
but is that what they really want?
They believe love is kind
simple
gentle
easy;
but that's not...
They say if you're not angry
you're not paying attention
and, hell, if that's not the truest statement I've ever heard
look around you...
Sunlight kisses my skin.
Wind blows around me.
Water touches my toes.
Leaves float around me.
The chaos inside is overwhelming.
Pain...
