My World of Poetry: With Life Comes Death

By Jonathan Owens

Now you know about the people who played big roles in my life. Heres a brief description of my book. This book contains a collection of poems I wrote throughout my life. I did not put them in chronological order so the reader can figure out the puzzle of my life. Let me mind you I still didnt figure that puzzle out, and thats what this book is about. Finding yourself isnt the easiest so remember its the choices we make that define our lives. These are the choices I made the experiences I learned from. It takes a smart man to learn from his own mistakes but a wise man can learn from others. Everyone has an opinion on what life means to them. These are my opinions because I believe if you can overcome the fear of death you can truly live life.

Jonathan Owens

I was born on August 25th, 1989 and grew up in Piscataway New Jersey. I was raised around drugs and alcohol from ages 8-20. I was kicked out of middle school for defiant behavior and stayed back in the 6th grade and dropped out in the 9th grade. I went to a behavioral program (Integrity House) when I was 17. I attained 18 months clean and sober, then relapsed and was shot on 12/27/08. I spiraled out of control for the next couple of years. The summer of 2011 I started to put my first book together. 02/02/2012 is my sobriety date I found the rooms of a 12 step fellowship. Published my first book (“My World of Poetry” with life comes death) when I reached 3 months sober. I attained my license and first car at the age of 23.

I fell six times and got up seven, I’ve been through hell so where the FUCK! Is heaven… ?

My hands are cold, and the ground is white,

My knees buckle, as I get closer to the light,

My heart stops, but I keep going,

Got shot, tell my story keep flowing,

If water was hot, then I’d be soaking,

Better dead than alive, of the sight of not knowing,

Come to find out, I’m not a rapper I’m a poet,

Just so you know it,

The name’s Jonathan James Owens,

If I died today, it’d be a present,

Because, I would only live in the past for a second,

But the future comes without a breath,

What’s next?

We aren’t living tomorrow, if today we experience death,

Feels like life is over, and I’m not going to make it,

If you want my life, you can try and take it,

But get ready to box, like rocky verse satan,

Or like Freddy verse Jason, I’m not playing,

This is how I
