POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Lying Owl
Lying owl, lying owl
What kind of lie have you told
I expect by now you should have sold
All my gold, oh my soul!
You came in here all smart and bold
Now you are leaving me sad and fouled
The way i fell for you like a fowl
Lo and behold, my tree of woe
What is left of me, i think
Sitting here with my heart bleeding
What i will give to catch a glimpse
Of The very first day i heard u speak

Left Hand
Stop that! That's a very dirty thing to do!
Oh my left hand, the whole world sees you as a curse
But I see you as a gift
The world sees us lefties as just being aberrant
But I see you as a blessing
Oh Miss Alice
You made my life a living hell in primary school
You made me almost hate my left hand
You stopped me from writing with my left, but you didn't stop me from eating with it
I remember crying, crying so hard at night
I couldn't concentrate on what I was writing
Instead, I was worried about how I was writing
I remember relapsing in...

Beautiful Quagmire
This is for the bold girls
You know you got her bad
You know she is beautiful
You know you let her down
You know she is brittle
You think you are in control
But your heart is weak and feeble
"i love you" she said
"hmmm" you replied
If only she could help herself
But her heart is stronger than her mind
She was courageous enough to confess her love
You was stupid enough to mock her
Now she is wounded
"how could i be this weak?" she mutters
You are what she calls "Beautiful...
