By Dominic Jones I want to escape The vines on the fence have tendrils And convert sunlight to energy My garden makes me happy Because we all need to find Our place in the world Other people will usually help Just trying to get through the day My soul gravitates towards you It is intrigued And interested In helping make this world a better place But after awhile I don’t have pain anymore Replaced by laughter It will always get better I am so, so happy With my writing A flood

By Dominic Jones Mundane and unrelenting Monotony of everyday routine But it gets better I'm living proof Close the door to the balcony But not the screen Furry likes to watch the birds No longer do we write a letter Glowing text on a screen controls us Feel bad for the diminishing buffalo herds All those camping trips as a kid I cherish the time I spent with my father Visited Yellowstone The super volcano that will consume us all

By Dominic Jones When I turn inward Shut people out It hurts me More than it hurts you Online interaction Just not the same I have family that helps me And I open up Bare my heart And my emotions Drink the potion The elixir of knowledge Someday soon I will go back to college

By Dominic Jones There is absolutely no use trying to push the envelope, When it turns out it is futile The greedy assholes who run this laughingstock show - like insane brain-damaged greedy rabid crooked tooth reptiles Frustrated beyond all fathomable comprehension! The Statue of Liberty cries today No more keeping our feelings at bay It's time for a revolution Too much injustice for too long Stay fresh And stay on your toes! Educate yourselves For the long battle ahead

By Dominic Jones Try my hand at something new And have a new point of view Flowers pushing up Out of the earth Forging forward Always With ever-renewing resolve And then I know I can evolve Masquerading as a secure connection Pop the firewall Don't want to be pushed aside I know in you I can confide What's on my mind Or bothering me Denial makes it harder For the stars to shine My mind may be numb But it's not benign

By Dominic Jones Sometimes I take the time To know what's going on with me Soldier on, the fight continues The struggle I deal with everyday And making progress A little at a time Family and friends support me And I will find my place in this world

By Dominic Jones Jack my freakin' brain into the Internet! Matrix style Soak up all the knowledge dumped onto it Absorb it like a sponge Even if it's from Reddit or Fox (Faux) News First and foremost, a military network And still to this day that is the foundation Then ARPANET Then AOL and Internet Explorer Finally, more recently in Internet age, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, among many other lesser-known social media sites, and also, defunct social media sites (F

By Dominic Jones I burn the late night candle Nothing I can't handle That's when I get inspired Alive but not wired That's when the magic takes place And I take a journey through time and space I ponder life And why I am here And the many good reasons that I No longer drink beer Up to me and only me To be successful Write some poetry And hope it's not dull I don't have to be famous In fact, I don't think I would handle it Very well Blow my fans a kiss Maybe write some poetry

By Dominic Jones Grab the lyrics And a storm is brewing Help me get through A tough part of life Remembering that those we have lost are still with us Watching over us as guardian angels And knowing that I am doing the best I can for the situation I can derail my own train and watch it skip the tracks

I wrote this when I was 15 or 16. Hence the "Disobeying Since 1998" on The Bakos Times logo! By Dominic Jones Just wanted you to know   How much I care   And just how much   I want to be there   Sitting right by you   Through heartache and happiness   And how you'll always know   You'll never be friendless   You'll always have me   I'm your shoulder to cry on   And when it seems near the end   I'll be by the bed you lie on   I'll be by your side   A shadow watching over you  

By Dominic Jones   Look into my eyes   Look into them deep   Tell me what you see   Tell me why you weep   My eyes they view the world   In a very different light   In my eyes everything   Is a remembered sight   Do you see your reflection?   Look deeper   Past the insurrection   Look past all the worldly woes   Just pretend that nobody knows   Pretend that nobody   Knows about your problems   Everybody seems to be   Obsessed with something else   Look into my eyes   For the

By Dominic Jones Shoulda known / pump the brakes What he gives and what he takes Heavily medicated All bets are off and the justification is dictated Let's go dark and see what we find Get going on it or you will be left behind Is this real or just a trick of the mind Rewind to a better time When my symptoms were not as bad I hate it when you irritate me Makes me want to go on a violent spree Get to the core of the problem Chilling quietly at my pad Give into the concept of s

By Dominic Jones I can't sleep and I can't explain it Feel like there's a rape worm in me brain and I am tainted I try to sleep and I cannot turn off my brain Meds taken and it's such a strain I prayed and prayed to God above And it feels like he hasn't shown any love I see the doctor tomorrow to fill a new script And next month on the 2 nd  will be two months that I didn't get ripped! Frustrated with the current administration We are all guilty of subjugation High and mighty

By Dominic Jones Whatever it takes for me to feel And not be numb Whatever it takes for this to be real And not succumb To temptation This is the fallout No longer want to escape reality Would much rather be sober And feel alive So ready to take a different route

By Dominic Jones Cast the ropes off and disembark Catchy phrase like the song of the meadowlark Let your wheels spin freely if only just a bit Sometimes I just don’t give a shit That’s the beauty of free will When I take only the doctor prescribed pill But that capsule doesn’t make everything go away It just keeps my emotions at bay No matter the dose I still fight it Put the pen to paper and write it Thoughts like fire spread over the print Fluffy feline companion, fur like

This poem is about one woman, an ex-girlfriend,who was very dear to me but slipped through my fingers and got away because of my drinking and drug use. By Dominic Jones Sometimes I finally let go Because it doesn’t matter Past has passed Get stuck or move on Happy to say I am Very much of the latter Raindrops on the roof Pitter-patter Found someone new Who can break down my wall Want to take this slow But no – it won’t stall Wake up slow With her She’s the only one That I pre

By Dominic Jones Spending time with family and friends Making memories we will hold dear It becomes glaringly obvious And remains that much more clear That our next breath is not even guaranteed But it plants a seed That nothing should be For granted taken Because it is much better to give To never cast a shadow of a doubt It could all be gone in an instant Whisked away to be with passed loved ones So today I resolve To be more compassionate Tolerant Understanding You never k

By Dominic Jones Fumbling for release From the bonds of chemicals Looking for another way To feel good again Always in search Of the happy chemical Being released into my brain Food and cigarettes and coffee and TV Still don't fill the void That I feel will only be filled When I have found complacency With my situation Put it in a special box The one that goes to God Call it good once again Big guy will take care of me

By Dominic Jones Tear-streaked cheeks and sorrowful eyes   I want you to know you've made me realize   The mistake I've made once again   And how I've paid for it   I moved too fast and it didn't last   Our future together is falling apart   And I'm writing this straight from my heart   I guess I'm just going through a trend   And I'm asking you if you'll still be my friend   I hope we learn from my mistakes   Because when I think of you, my whole body aches   I guess I'm no

By Dominic Jones Disconnect from the intellect Make more than you would ever expect Embrace my flaws Because I’m not the cause Just here for awhile Until my exile My soul morphs into Something new And I see the sun Peaking through And so my journey continues Glad I’m shifting views My point is to folick Galavant, if you will Instead of float I make my own path So the past doesn’t catch up With a vicious wrath Threads of silk on a Spiderweb Every decision affecting All the oth
