Joshua Greiner

 Johnua is the name Joshua has given his unreliable body. These two poems represent his feelings toward his body and his efforts to befriend it. 

You can read more of Joshua's poetry on his website:  https://poetryforopeninghearts.weebly.com



HE’S NOT ME

Johnua hits but I love

Johnua scratches, shouts 
Screams 

He’s not me 
He loves no one

He just hurts everyone
Upsetting 

Using my body to hurt.

Fuck him.
Johnua sucks 

Greedily wrecking every
Thing

Johnua knows 
How to make my body move

Better than I do




JOHNUA MY FRIEND

Time to get the
Uplifting thoughts
Going

Ready in thinking
To befriend
You

You respect
My mind 
So please listen

I’m going
To tell you 

There is a way
To work together

Trust me 
To tell you 
What to do

Try to move 
Slowly
With purpose

Utilize 
Helping support

To do what
Each of us
Wants

I just need
Some help sometimes

Help is not
A bad thing

Everybody needs
Help from their friends sometimes
Accept it

I will be your friend
If you will be mine.
