Writings From the One They Call Jimmy Byrne

In the first 4 that you posted before the one about your grandfather, I really like True Value and Why?. The others are fantastic, but those two really show a lot of emotion and are true. Very nice work.

Thanks bro!

"Peace Flow" and "Why" are lovely and the one your wrote for your Grandpa is very touching

3. 2. 1. Blastoff?

Holy ****.
What have I done all this time?
It feels like just yesterday
I was begging my grandfather for ice cream
And slurping it all up behind my fathers back.
It feels like just yesterday
I was so excited to start my highschool experience

Where the hell have I been?
I feel like my whole year has been locked in a wooden chest
Deep in the forest
Protected by my consumption
Of Adderall down my gullet

I'm the same person I was a year ago
I can remember exactly what I was doing
What friends I had
What I was worrying about
And no matter how many people tell me I have changed
I feel no different

Next year,
I'm gone.
It's over.
I'm moving on with my life.
In a place I'd LOVE to call home
And I'm sure I will, through time.
Through time

Change makes me worry
Just as much as it excites me.
But I know
Whatever I do
Wherever I go
I'll be just fine.
But still,

Holy ****.​

So I was bored today in Study Hall, so I challenged myself and decided to write a 'poem' using only the first lines of song lyrics. It was REALLY hard, but I managed to get two stanzas out:

Poem Through First Lines in Music

You know that it would be untrue
Don't act like you can't act
I was an honest man
A long, long time ago

Something in the way she moves
I hear it in your silence
She never mentions the word addiction
I want you to want me

P.S. I don't want to send out the impression that I am a fan of Cheap Trick. The lyric just seemed to work with the flow of the poem. In fact, I despise them!
