Poetry of Jarrod Rollins
Torn
I am torn by my feelings
I am torn by rejection
I am torn by the way girls feel towards me
I am torn by the way that I am treated;
Unrecognized, rejected, and sometimes uncared for
By the girls most important to me
I am torn by these actions towards me
I am torn by their unmatched beauty
I am torn by my undeniable love for them
I am torn by their constant rejection
I am torn that they care more about reputation
Than they do about me or my feelings
I am torn by imperfection
I am torn by the lies that I live my life by
—Jarrod Rollins
Someone
I long for my special someone
That someone who I can hold on the darkest night
That someone who will love me unconditionally
That someone who will pick me up when I am down
I long for that someone's passion
The one that I will have a burning desire for
Someone I'll love from deep within
That someone who'll love me for me
I long to gaze into her eyes
Show her my love with a candlelit dinner
Take her for romantic moonlit walks down the beach
Cuddle with her as we gaze up at the starry night,
Whispering words of love and passion into each others ears
I relish the thought of asking her to be my wife
The thought of when we say "I do"
The moment we become of one body, one mind, and one spirit
The thought of the birth of our first child,
Fills me with joy knowing that I'll be a father one day
For these moments, I long for my special someone

Pain
The pain
Its too great
I can't take it anymore,
but its the only thing that seems to be real
Pain,
It is how I have come to realize my existence
For me,
the realm of pain is commonplace
The pain,
Its unbearable
I constantly see images of you
Its painful knowing that I can't have you
