Poetry's Tapestry Poem by Laquory Jones

Lately it has felt as if I've taken a plunge
I find myself screaming at the top of my lungs
Took a couple shots no doubt that they've stung
So many friends have gone and disappeared
I just wanted to make it clear
Live life without any fear
Is it wrong of me of wanting to be revered
Only to find myself careening
A legend Richie What are you thinking?
My mind continues its sinking
As reasonable doubt begins its creeping
Especially when I'm sleeping
Nightmares just for dreaming
When will I forgive people for leaving
Outgoing calls are going un-receiving

All I have is poetry as my mind ravels
Deeply into its tapestry
Just another form of escape as I try
To navigate my way through the path
Of Life because when the world
Feels like a block of ice
You have to thaw out the lines outright
Just more inner lines for insight
While striking the blaze with a pen
My Combustion of intensity and eccentric
Adrenaline slowly sinking through the
Pigments of skins as I Air Wick (Air Wicked?)

Just airing out everything that happened
Within my leave of absence
I've been writing through the
Writer's block as the mind cycles
Through a lot while downing
Highland Park it's the best of
The scotches my friends are doing
Better One of my friends just
Became Cancer-free and then I took
The other from the brink of suicide
Thank you for everyone who
Prayed for me no doubt I can feel
Your energies just know that
We're all in this just the same
Conquering and overcoming our
Obstacles that gets in our way
Just know that at the end of the day
The sunshine always finds a way
