POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
27
Dear 27,
As I revisit the pages of my life, penned with ink and the raw emotions of 2011, I feel the need to open up about the journey that's unfolded since then.
Back in 2011, I found solace on this website, pouring out confessions that echoed with shadows from a past etched in pain. In 2014, the weight of my father's presence lifted as he bid farewell to this earthly realm, carving out space for healing and renewal.
Over time, the fragments of my story wove together into a resilient tapestry. At sixteen, earning a G.E.D. marked both a milestone and a doorway...

run
I want to run from everything I still feel for you
I don't want you in my mind
I don't need you in my mind
But my mind always wonders back to you
When you held me close at night
And every good morning kiss
I hate that I miss you
Sometimes I can't breath I miss u so much
Id rather suffocate than miss you
But my heart and soul says other wise
I hate me for it
I don't want you in my mind
I don't need you in my mind
But my mind always wonders back to you
When you held me close at night
And every good morning kiss
I hate that I miss you
Sometimes I can't breath I miss u so much
Id rather suffocate than miss you
But my heart and soul says other wise
I hate me for it

tears
I catch myself crying a lot lately
Any moment Im alone I'm shedding
Tears hating my past my present my future
Who I am
I don't like who I am
I'm stuck in this hole
I can't leave
Cant get out to try to change who I've become
I don't want to die alone hating who I am
Any moment Im alone I'm shedding
Tears hating my past my present my future
Who I am
I don't like who I am
I'm stuck in this hole
I can't leave
Cant get out to try to change who I've become
I don't want to die alone hating who I am

thinking
I looked in the mirror this morning I didn't see me looking back
I lost who I was
The sparkle in my eye
My bright smile
I saw years layered on my face
Sadness in my eyes
And memories in my scars
I don't know how I'm holding myself together anymore
I don't know who I am anymore
I lost who I was
The sparkle in my eye
My bright smile
I saw years layered on my face
Sadness in my eyes
And memories in my scars
I don't know how I'm holding myself together anymore
I don't know who I am anymore

time
Wow I'm already 19
I can't believe it's been almost 6 years since we first met
Time really changes people
Makes you tired and distant
I can't believe I actually packed my bags and left
You hardly noticed I was gone
You were my life my soul mate and bestfriend
How did that all change
Its sad we couldn't work on our differences
But I guess we grew up and went our separate ways
Its hard to see u walk away
I did love you Corey
I guess I still do
I can't believe it's been almost 6 years since we first met

How did that all change
Its sad we couldn't work on our differences
But I guess we grew up and went our separate ways
Its hard to see u walk away
I did love you Corey

Broken Dreams
pretty broken dreams
scattered across the floor
laying naked on the floor
touching every shattered broken tear
eyes unfocused a bottle at my feet
the needle has fallen out of my reach
cold tremors reach a body overcome by years
blue eyes cant cry anymore
ran dry by this years drought
the bottle so damn empty at my feet
the needle to far out of reach
to many broken memories
piercing my weather worn back
to broken memories
to many broken dreams
to shove back in this old dying heart of mine
scattered across the floor
laying naked on the floor
touching every shattered broken tear
eyes unfocused a bottle at my feet
the needle has fallen out of my reach
cold tremors reach a body overcome by years
blue eyes cant cry anymore
ran dry by this years drought
the bottle so damn empty at my feet
the needle to far out of reach
to many broken memories
piercing my weather worn back
to broken memories
to many broken dreams
to shove back in this old dying heart of mine

this is
This girl
This perfectly innocent girl
Lays broken on the floor
Laying on her crushed dreams
Realizing her mom was a whore
The dad she thought was hers was one of her moms false loves
Realizing she had a year till the big eighteen
She has learned only hardship and struggle
How to be a mother to her two young sister
She's learned how to tell a man no
But nothing to live on her own
How to actually make a dinner that doesn't consist of mac n cheese
How to get a job to make money on her own
Only a year till the big eighteen

How to be a mother to her two young sister

me
She fell from heaven
Wings ripped from her back
Halo crashed to the ground
Along with the million tears she has cried
On her knees in the desert sands
All alone no where to go
Only the stars to twinkle in her company
She cries one last tear stand makes her way to a new horizon
Wings ripped from her back
Halo crashed to the ground
Along with the million tears she has cried
On her knees in the desert sands
All alone no where to go
Only the stars to twinkle in her company
She cries one last tear stand makes her way to a new horizon

no title
I dont want your sympathy
I want live my life
not be smothered
by your presence
Choked by your godamn leash
Just leave me alone
I want live my life
not be smothered
by your presence
Choked by your godamn leash
Just leave me alone

I wanna cry
but i wanna stand strong
show nothing is ever wrong

Its so confusing
I love living
But dying is so exciting
Like wats next a new life
or nothing at all

Its so confusing
I love living
But dying is so exciting

I JUST WANNA SCREAM
Do you ever feel so confused like up is down and down is up
and u just wanna lay there and let it all spin around
Like sad is the real happy and happy is sad
Life isnt making any sense
Dying is the new living
black the new white
i just wanna SCREAM
Help me figure out
before i go up in smoke
God is the map to life
I JUST WANNA SCREAM
and u just wanna lay there and let it all spin around
Like sad is the real happy and happy is sad
Life isnt making any sense
Dying is the new living
black the new white
i just wanna SCREAM
Help me figure out
before i go up in smoke
God is the map to life
I JUST WANNA SCREAM
