POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I started to write poetry after I found myself needing moments to express myself that I couldn't fit into a story. I have extremely indirect poetry, so be warned!

Necessities
I need to find clarity,
I need to find a hope,
I need to find escape
from this dreary, dreary place.
I need to find a dream,
I need to become sane,
I need to subside the pain
that kills me every day.
I need my worries to fade,
I need everything to be okay,
I need to find a reason,
so I can live once again
I need to find a hope,
I need to find escape
from this dreary, dreary place.
I need to find a dream,
I need to become sane,
I need to subside the pain
that kills me every day.
I need my worries to fade,
I need everything to be okay,
I need to find a reason,
so I can live once again

Illusions
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
a trick of the light,
a trick of my teenage mind.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
this pain,
this lack of gain.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
my self-esteem,
my dreams.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
then why does it seem so real?
a trick of the light,
a trick of my teenage mind.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
this pain,
this lack of gain.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
my self-esteem,
my dreams.
Perhaps it is all an illusion,
then why does it seem so real?

Reliability
Can I trust you?
Are you going to betray me too?
Are you reliable?
Will you be loyal?
Are you my sanctuary?
Am I the one you will bury?
Are you going to betray me too?
Are you reliable?
Will you be loyal?
Are you my sanctuary?
Am I the one you will bury?

Tears
Salty tears fall in silence.
Whimpering, I’m a nuisance.
I don’t care to wipe it away.
Let me be weak today.
Uncontrollable and unstoppable,
why am I so frightful?
This is a sign of my giving up,
Away I shall gallop.

Giving Up
I am lost,
I have been crossed,
my plan of escape gone.
I am in rage,
I’m in a cage,
my plan of escape gone.
I have surrendered,
I can no longer fly like a bird,
my plan of escape gone.

I am in rage,
I’m in a cage,

I have surrendered,
I can no longer fly like a bird,

Reminiscing
It’s been some time
since I spoke to you past bedtime.
I don’t know if things have changed
but I hope this isn’t arranged.
I don’t want to get hurt,
so I’m staying alert.
Though, am I able?
I feel so vulnerable.

If only
If only I was loved
by a pure, white dove.
If only being cared for
was as easy as opening the door.
If only reality
was like a show on TV.
If only my dreams
didn’t go to extremes.
If only life was easy
and not so achy.
Perhaps I wouldn’t want to die,
if only this all wasn’t a lie.

I want to leave you.
Stuck here in the middle
No matter how I pray
I can’t go either way
I can’t be your best friend
I can’t be that stranger
I’m ready now to leave you forever
But she keeps telling me to stay
I need to go either way
The middle is killing me
But I’m stuck here.
No matter how I pray

I can’t be your best friend
I can’t be that stranger

Request to Save my Heart
Make it stop loving.
Make it invulnerable.
I have to. It hurts me.
I need to close my heart way.
This loving, this loving, it pains me more than anything else.
I have to stop.
A way is to rip my heart out.
I must find another.
The pain is killing me.
Make it invulnerable.
I have to. It hurts me.
I need to close my heart way.
This loving, this loving, it pains me more than anything else.
I have to stop.
A way is to rip my heart out.
I must find another.
The pain is killing me.
