I'm in college now, and I've been going through a lot of mood swings. This poem talks about the main mood I've been in lately:
Invisible #11
By Jenn Farris
The sun shines as people fill the main square,
All of them are unmindful that I am there.
They do not even look up to see me walk by,
They only see that sexy girl or that hot guy.
They talk of the parties they went to last night,
Yet from all the booze their memories take flight.
Even though I stand surrounded and not alone,
Deep within I'm corroded like a weathered stone.
I have become empty; void in spirit and sense,
When will the healing I wish for ever commence?
I linger each day hoping to meet someone worthwhile,
But, am dissapointed and walk another lonely mile.
I'll keep hurting and be numb until this has changed,
When the routine ends and I no longer feel estranged.

Life with Love #10
By Jenn Farris (Jems)
Life with love seems so much more sweet,
Life with love is something you cannot beat.
Even when the day goes totally wrong,
The one you love helps you be strong.
Then everything in life seems so right,
And you are able to sleep well at night.
I hope never to lose this love that I have found,
For if I ever did, my whole world would drown
Uncertain yet Content Feelings #9
By Jenn Farris
I get this weird feeling whenever I see his face,
My heart and thoughts always quicken in pace.
I never felt like this about him before,
I never wanted to have such feelings anymore.
But, they came to me whether they were wanted or not,
And I did not care if they were ignored or sought.
Yet, it would be nice if he felt them too,
Yes, it would be very nice if he only knew...
That whenever he would be close or near me,
He would always make my heart ever so happy.
Silent Tears #8
By Jenn Farris
Once the night comes all seems changed,
Shadows consume your room and you feel estranged.
Your heart becomes pressured from all your trials,
Then overflows from your eyes for a long while.
And as you sit there in the dark holding your sobs,
You can hear and feel your distressed heart throb.
The house remains silent and you�re all alone,
Fighting to remain sane, strong, and condoned.
Dismal thoughts pass through your clouded mind,
Seeking answers too difficult or agonizing to find.
You collect yourself and wait for the new day,
To start afresh and hoping there�ll be no dismay.
So as you close your watery eyes and fall asleep,
You hold onto the faith and hope you�ll always keep.
Dear Friend... #7
By Jenn Farris
To watch as those I care for disappear,
To see all their pain and their fear,
Only to find out they've lost hope,
Only wishing to hang by a rope.
If they ended it all it would be a shame,
If they gave up it would be quite lame,
Will they go on and be strong?
Will they go crazy and do wrong?
I've promised to be there when they need me most,
I've promised to be there like a ghost,
Watching, comforting, and keeping company,
Praying, hoping, that they'll all soon be happy.
Don't Blame Love #6
By Jenn Farris
Do not hate love because one did not return it
For if they didn't it wasn't true nor meant to be
Do not cry and do not lose faith in love
For one day you will find the one who is meant for you
My Prayer to God #5
By Jenn Farris
Forgive me, Lord, for the times I doubted,
Forgive me please, for when I showed no faith.
All I would do was cry when trials mounted,
And showed others only misery and hate.
My actions have spoken louder than my words,
And I have done nothing worthy of praise.
I�ve let myself see and listen to what was evil and absurd,
And I have wavered in my beliefs and ways.
Please forgive me, I beg of thee, Oh Lord,
I will return to the path you so want me to take.
I will turn away from the sin and all that is horrid,
And no longer will my character be fake.
This I promise you, My Dear Lord. Amen.
A Desolate Heart #4
By Jenn Farris
A heart, empty and alone can only go so far.
And the trials of life begin to leave their scar.
How much longer can this heart hold???
It lives each day brave and bold.
But, such a heart should never be isolated.
Or it shall grow callous and seem very faded.
So, as a word of advice to all who may care.
Do not leave a heart to be desolated and bare.
Confusing Whispers #2
By Jenn Farris
Passing through the crowds, you hear,
The topics of discussion, too clear.
What was meant for another to know,
Seeps into your ear as you go.
The day goes by and your heart aches,
For what you heard was no mistake.
They slandered you and what you do,
Spat words of lies and nothing true.
Because you never bothered to conform,
All you get is there jeers and scorn.
Clouding Doubt #1
By Jenn Farris
Was it a mistake or not yet to be?
Should I have chosen the other for me?
I'll never know now, but it'll dwell,
Only God can really tell...
Of which one I should've gone for,
And which one could've given me more.
Only doubt and uncertainty lingers in mind,
Keeping me from knowing, keeping me blind.
I'm given moments that make me think,
Then I change my mind within a blink.
It occurs so very often nowadays,
Never being sure of my complicated ways.
I'll just stay with what I had decided,
Not mess things up and abide by it.
