I always find myself fighting them back the demons that haunt me
And it seems like I’m pushing away the only ones that want me
That’s Johnny for you
Never afraid to stand his ground
And when his heart hit the floor he didn’t make a sound
He looked ahead and kept his pace
Believed in continuity and wouldn’t show the hurt on his face
Pain just stops you and forces you to feel
That the nightmare you pushed aside is based on something real
And although it hurts badly it’ll never kill
Just vacate your soul with a hole that it’ll never fill

I swear she saw me on the other side of the hall
And wore that shirt I got her cause I’d see her at the mall
That’s Johnny for you
Never afraid to admit that like the others he’s been played
And not too proud to admit he’s ashamed
She held his hand as he watched from a distance
And smiled effortlessly like she hadn’t even missed him
Ya it’s a fact she’s already moved on
And my picture on her wall is already long gone
That’s Johnny
She took his picture and burned it on a cross
Took a picture of it tattooed on sorry your loss
She loved him
It was so evident

I'm not sure that I understood the whole poem together but I did like what I though I understood. You have a way with words that helps make things descriptive; which is enjoyable. Plus you say it straight and don’t muddle the whole thing up with useless phrases/words.

Great job on this poem, it was a pleasure to read

I agree with stargal. It starts as if He's talking or someone's talking then the narrorator takes over and then back and forth.. maybe I'm wrong. But I understood the meaning of the poem and it was very heartfelt.. and relatable.

Great job.

ps-just cause i liked how interesting this is, it's going in my library
